Same-sex marriage a Pandora's Box?
My opinion on same sex marriage is simple, I am against it because of the slippery slope. It opens the door for many different unions, for those who have been waiting in the wings for this to pass. Such as two men marrying four women, or 4 men and one women, or five women and five men and the list goes on. Where does it end, it opens up a Pandora's box. Perhaps if they define marriage as a man and a women, or two women, or two men but eventually that will also be challenged. How will that affect our economy, will employers have to insure a man's four wives and the many children that they will eventually have it is mind boggling.
I have nothing against Civil Unions, in many cities same sex couples are given benefits, the same as heterosexual couples do and so they should.
Whether we like it or not religion does play a role in our country today, you are entitled to Freedom of Religion, what happens when that freedom collides with something that is unacceptable to your religious beliefs? Should you be forced to participate in something that is against your faith? Wouldn't that be going against their right to Freedom of Religion or as many have tried to portray the Gay Rights Movement as a civil right? I personally do not think that in any way, shape, or form does this compare to the Civil Rights that so many African Americans fought so hard for. In fact I believe that to the many people who are involved in the Civil Rights Movement this is an insult by those who try to compare the two and that is understandable.
A Pandora's Box; yes it definitely is.
