I am not against gay couples at all. It’s just the right to marry should be reserved to opposite-sex couples. This right comes from nature that human being is best to reproduce in a diversified way. That’s why human species evolved into 2 sexes. Non-diversified reproduction, like that comes from close relative marriage, is inherently not good.
If anyone can just marry anyone else, eventually the marriage will become meaningless. One can also argue that unmarried people are being discriminated. In order for all people to be equal, the marriage system should be abolished.
Also parenthood will become less important. By human nature, parents can best take care of their own children. Adoption is not the best way, though acceptable, in general.
Only a small group of people want the same-sex marriages at this time. It basically does no harm to other people. However, if it becomes law permanently and becomes a norm in society. I think it will change the social structure and affect everybody. It shouldn’t be taken lightly and we have the right to make some decision.

Opinion from R. J.:
BTW -- I take it from the name of your blog, that you don't support
same-sex marriages -- why is this? -- I personally don't have any issue
with it -- I don't claim to understand the sexual attraction to the same
sex, and I admit its strange and unusual -- but there are lots of other
strange things in society, like racial hatred, etc. -- At least they are
characteristically non-violent -- But since this issue has been around
for all of recorded history, I don't think its some new age aversion --
And I also don't think we should ostracize these people from society,
just because they don't fit into some box that we think we fit into --
Besides being symbolic, it provides these people with the same legal
status to social security, inheritance, spousal benefits, etc. -- Aside
from their sexual orientation, these people are just like you and me --
they feel joy and sadness the same way --
That's my 2 cents -- Feel the love, be the love --

Dear R.,
I am not against gay couples at all, so I don’t have very different opinion from what you said.
All I said is if anyone can just marry anyone else, eventually the marriage will become meaningless. It’s not good for human’s future which requires more than love.

Now on your reply -- this is a good point, but from a male/female
perspective -- just about anyone can marry just about anyone else -- and
not just once -- And in the beginning, these people enter their
relationship with love and commitment -- and some succeed, and some fail
-- Gay people are and will be no different -- I'd rather society focus
on how to maintain good marriages & relationships, and/or possible
recognize incompatibility in the beginning -- than focus on the how may
X & Y chromosomes are standing at the alter --
Cheers --

Dear R.,
We have a common view that same-sex marriage basically does no harm to other people at this time since only a small group of people want it.
My argument is if it becomes law permanently and becomes a norm in society. I think it will change the social structure and affect everybody. It shouldn’t be taken lightly and we have the right to make some decision.

Opinion from Bob:
I agree with you that we shouldn’t discriminate against gay couples even we do not agree with gay marriages. Some people are born gays and that’s the way they are and they are protected by laws. However, the laws should be written for the benefits of the normal population.
For example, if a person is born blind, obviously he shouldn’t be discriminated and is deserved the love from his family and freinds. Though the society should help him as much as possible, It does not mean he is normal and the society should facilitate thoroughly for the benefits of these people at the cost of normal people.
Have a good day!
