The traditional conception of marriage as the foundation of the family and society is that it is a union between a man and a woman and the primary purpose of which is for procreation and the rearing of children. This is as it should be for without children born and raise out of marriage there can be no family to talk about.
Family is the smallest unit of any society. Without the family or families any society would withered and finally perished. Without society there could be no nation or country.
Even during the early civilizations among primitive and tribal society, marriage is always between a man and a woman. It is important to note that even during this earlier stage of human civilization, the role between man and woman was already clearly define or clear cut and there’s no confusion of the role between the two even among the primitive people.
Same-sex marriage which is the marriage of male to male or female to female is of modern construct or invention. While it is true that in some states in the U.S. and in some country, same-sex marriage is legally allowed, in most of the other countries of the world, same-sex marriage is still considered to be a social taboo on legal, religious, moral and social grounds.
While there ought to be an equality of rights in the eyes of the law, regardless of one’s sexual preferences (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transgender), same-sex marriages on practical ground or consideration alone is contrary to one of the purposes of marriage which is the procreation and rearing of children.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not against any ones sexual preferences whether you want to be gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transgender, that’s your private business or concerns.
However, how could two male or two female procreates children with each other? It is biologically and physically impossible to do so, right?
I believe that the recognition of same-sex marriages in society in the long run would have far-reaching negative implications to the dynamics of marriage, the family and society in general.

No. I'm not in favor of same-sex marriage. If I were to favor that, I might as well be in favor of the end of humankind. And don't give me that crap about “Oh! They can adopt kids.” If they could have their own children that would tell you there was no problem with same-sex marriage. It's against the natural order. And we can't change that! No matter how we try to justify!
Hi.I agree with your view to a certain extent. The "they can adopt kids" arguments reinforced the fact that same-sex marriages cannot really procreates children.
Why adopt someone if you can have child or children of your own? Talking about adoption, what will be the effect to the adopted child or children if they are raise by gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transgender with regards to their normal growth and development?
Under such a situation, there's a great possibility that the child or children will imbibe or be greatly influence by the lifestyle or the personality of the adopter. That they will turn out to be gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transgender themselves in the near future is most likely to happen.
I was raised in a normal family---with a father and a mother---as role model. I know and I appreciate the respective role of a male and a female.
I am married myself and have a wife and a daughter. The way I and my wife is raising our daughter is the very way we are raised by our parents---by both male and female in the traditional way as we know it.
I know and I appreciate based upon personal experience how it is like to be raise within a normal family with all the love, care and support of my father and mother.
All of those parties engaged in a same-sex marriage had a biological mother and a biological father or they wouldn't even be here! Just saying.
Mine as well don't in favor of same-sex marriage, but I respect those lesbians, gays, tomboy, or whatever they termed those homosexual individuals.
It's just that, God emphasized in His words that He only created a man and a woman who will be the fit partners.
With regards with this topic I want to share that some homosexual activists admit that they would like to destroy natural marriage by legalizing same-sex marriage. Since they refuse to live by society’s standards, they will only feel validated if they beat down those standards to the level of their own behavior. If they succeed, everyone in our country will be harmed in some way.
I am not in favor of the same sex marriage. Though they have sexual preferences, everyone could not accept it. It is against the norm, so to speak. Sorry for the gays and lesbians, transgenders, I am not against you as a person, because I have many gay friends and we go along well. But I could not accept marriage between them.
