Homosexual marriage should be banned

Recently I have read really a lot of articles and comments on whether homosexual marriage should be legalized or not. It gives me a headache.

L et’s see what will happen if homosexual marriage is permitted by law. According to the international investigation, by 2004, the proportion of gay is around two to five percent of the whole population. And this ratio has been

on the rise ever since, especially in the last few years. We know, many countries, such as the US, China, Russia, India and so on, are now confronted with the problem of aging population caused by low birth rates. Once it’s allowed to get married with someone of the same sex, they don’t have their own kids, and then the birth rates may even be l ower. And what’s more, once homosexual marriage is legalized, many potential gays will join the rank without scruple. Then the situation will be more serious than now. If this is

the case, a series of social problems may be created following the aging-population problem, such as heaver social burdens, greater demand for expenditure for social security and so forth…. Life will be more difficult for our son.

Some may say there ARE ways to solve the problem of children. By adopting, going to a sperm bank or borrowing uterine, or doing whatever can be done with science and technology. But not to mention moral problems or traditional conceptions, the technology is far from mature. And it increases the risk of variation. Even if they have a healthy baby ultimately, will the kids turn out to be well? Will the kids accept the fact that both his parents are men or women? Will they feel it abnormal to grow up in a strange family and be able to endure the pressure of public opinion? Or will they turn out to be homosexuals, either, because their growing environment tells them it is normal. The truth is it is not decent, not right, not normal. The present homosexual population is already plagued by the sick disease; how can we

risk our next generation?

Some may also say true love should not be repressed. Everyone is entitled to true love regardless of gender. True love is not guilty: this may be the reason why some people are in favor of homosexual marriage. But are you sure you really know this kind of love? The American sexologist Junky said that many homosexuals resulted from the mental distortion. Homosexuality， more

often than not, is a result of psychological problems, which may have stemmed from the unfortunate experience in childhood, having been hurt in a heterosexual love, wrongly pursuing the sexual pleasure or some other psychological problems. Legalization of homosexual marriage will mean our tolerant attitude to a mental disease like depression. We will be leaving this sickness to luck. Then it is inhumanity and brutality. Could we just stand by and watch it die its own course? Of course not.

For all of these reasons, how could we ignore the mental illness of homosexuals to legalize homosexual marriages? How could we disregard the happiness and health of our next generation to legalize homosexual marriages?

How could we leave the development of our society to legalize homosexual

marriages? As long as we have sense of responsibility, the answer should be definitely Not.
