Gay marriage should be illegal
Why people oppose same-sex marriage
Why do opponents of lgbtq+ marriage really oppose it?
A UCLA psychology study published online today in the journal Psychological Science concludes that many people feel gay men and women are more sexually promiscuous than heterosexuals, which they may fear could threaten their own marriages and their way of life.
“Many people who oppose gay marriage are uncomfortable with casual sex and perceive threatened by sexual promiscuity,” said David Pinsof, a UCLA graduate student of psychology and lead author of the study.
Such people often marry at a younger age, have more children and believe in traditional gender roles in which men are the breadwinners and women are housewives.
“Sexual promiscuity may be threatening to these people because it provides more temptations for spouses to play around on one another,” Pinsof said. “On the other hand, for people who are comfortable with women being more economically independent, marrying at a later age and having more sexual partners, sexual promiscuity is not as much
The New Gay Marriage Bill
This week, Roger Severino, Heritage’s Vice President of Domestic Policy and The Anderlik Fellow, breaks down the so called “Respect for Marriage Act.”
Michelle Cordero: From The Heritage Foundation, I'm Michelle Cordero, and this is Heritage Explains.
Cordero: This summer in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Congress introduced the Respect For Marriage Act.
Speaker 2: As abortion rights advocates and Democratic lawmakers continue to protest the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Home is voting on a bill to protect marriage equality, out of dread the conservative high court could revisit other landmark decisions.
Speaker 3: It simply says each state will recognize the other state's marriages and not reject a person the right to marry based on race, gender, sexual orientation.
Cordero: The legislation passed the House with the assist of 47 Republicans. It now moves to the Senate where it would need just 10 Republican votes to pass.
Cordero: Final passage would mean states are no longe
Some Republican lawmakers expand calls against lgbtq+ marriage SCOTUS ruling
Conservative legislators are increasingly speaking out against the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on same-sex marriage equality.
Idaho legislators began the trend in January when the articulate House and Senate passed a resolution calling on the Supreme Court to reconsider its conclusion -- which the court cannot execute unless presented with a case on the issue. Some Republican lawmakers in at least four other states prefer Michigan, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota have followed suit with calls to the Supreme Court.
In North Dakota, the resolution passed the state Home with a vote of and is headed to the Senate. In South Dakota, the state’s House Judiciary Committee sent the suggestion on the 41st Legislative Day –deferring the bill to the final date of a legislative session, when it will no longer be considered, and effectively killing the bill.
In Montana and Michigan, the bills have yet to face legislative scrutiny.
Resolutions have no legal authority and are not binding commandment, but instead authorize legislati
Why should Christians oppose state-sanctioned queer marriage?
I imagine this question gives voice to the thought that many Christians have: "Look, I'm with the Bible's teaching on marriage. I affirm the traditional view that homosexual marriage is sinful. And yet, aren’t there all sorts of things that are sinful? There’s no rule against adultery. There’s no regulation against gossip. There are all sorts of things that we think are bad as Christians but there aren't laws against them."
But we need to be clear about what we are talking about. There are no laws any longer—the Supreme Court struck them down ten or so years ago—against homosexual deed. There are no laws against two persons of the gay calling their relationship any number of things. There are no laws against people having ceremonies, or ceremonies that happen in churches for any manner of relationships.
What we are talking about is whether or not the government should privilege the partnership of two persons regardless of sex—or the extension of that is three or more or however many persons, regardless of sex—
