Personally, I don’t believe in Same Sex Marriages. I grew up in a society where I learned that a marriage is between a man and women. But that same society taught me that everyone has the legal right to be happy.

Gays like everyone else; they’re just looking to be happy.Everyone deserves the same chance at permanence and happiness. Just think of this way – what if someone is now telling you that you cannot get married.

I think everyone should watch this video, and then share their views on gay marriage in the comments.

Not too long ago, fellow blogger Danielle Edwards wrote a post on how the world is getting too comfortable with Bizarre Sexual behavior. She made some very interesting point on how destructive sexually transmitted HIV/ AIDS pandemic haunts the very future of humanity and how the world grapples with this phenomenally calamitous disease, where many have taken up the mantle of preaching ‘safe sex’, ‘abstinence’ and ‘staying faithful to one partner’ in a so-called ‘morally loose’ world.

In this post I will like to comment on the issue of same-sex marriages, and also raised the question as to what would be the legal implications in Dominica, if two Dominicans of the same sex were to take advantage of the opportunities that are being provided in some cities in the United States to get married and return to Dominica as a married couple.

This issue of same sex marriage raises a lot of questions for which there are no easy answers. For example: How would Dominica regard that “marriage” legally? Since no laws would have been broken in the city where the “marriage” took place – let us say San Francisco, for example, where such marriages are being carried out – would that couple be breaking the law in Dominica if they were to live together as a married couple?

To be sure, it is not a far-fetched scheme, given the fact that homosexuals in this country have been more boldly expressing themselves openly in recent years, as the worldwide “taboo” associated with being gay has lost most of its shame because of the widespread acceptance of this unnatural act as being simply a matter of sexual preference and not the abomination that the Bible says it is.

What makes this likelihood even more terrifying is the possibility that if same-sex marriages conducted abroad were to become acceptable in the nature island, Dominican family life could change drastically, not so much because of gay men, but rather because of the lesbian population – which unknowing is much larger in Dominica than many people would like to believe.

There are many professional women who refuse to lower their standards just to have a man in their lives, and rather than lead a lonely life — with the resultant prospect of growing old by themselves – they start experimenting with filling their sexual needs by having a “relationship” with another woman. After awhile a vast majority of these women become quite comfortable in such relationships and literally remove themselves from having a traditional marriage with a man.

Combined with the fact that 90% of the inmates in Stock Farm State Prison are men, a conclusion could easily be reached that this country is teeming with lesbians who are only waiting for the right time to declare their sexuality openly. It may not have anything to do with the belief that lesbianism is a growing trend in Dominica, but it is not uncommon at public social functions where women to go out socially as a group and dance with each other as couples. This sort of thing no longer even raises eyebrows.

So while there is cause for serious concern in the Caribbean, if the United States does not take legislative action to stop certain jurisdictions from legally performing same sex marriages, the traditional Dominican family, as we know it, could be a thing of the past in many respects.

In today’s world, the destructive sexually transmitted HIV/ AIDS pandemic haunts the very future of humanity and threatens the economic survival of numerous societies. As the world grapples with this phenomenally calamitous disease, many have taken up the mantle of preaching ‘safe sex’, ‘abstinence’ and ‘staying faithful to one partner’ in a so-called ‘morally loose’ world.

Countless International health organizations and donors are frantic with worry over the number of orphans, broken homes and broken lives that continue to result from the AIDS epidemic, particularly on the continent of Africa. And here in the Caribbean, statistics on the number of HIV victims living in our region are strikingly high. But despite all these dreadful facts, our world seems to be embracing bizarre sexual behaviour more and more…

I’m no ultra-conservative, but it often appears that our overly liberal mainstream media is promoting homosexuality and bisexuality as perfectly normal alternatives to heterosexuality. In the days of the Roman Empire, homosexuality was fashionable- and today history again seems to be repeating itself. The Californian gay community now has the widely celebrated legal right to ‘gay marriage’. What I want to know is why this is being viewed as an accomplishment.

I was very disturbed after reading a recent Newsweek article on the life of the late Larry King, a

15-year-old boy who was the victim of a gay-bias crime. Up till the day he died, Larry had allegedly never kissed a girl or boy, but he had declared himself gay. He was famous among peers for wearing stilettos and hitting on other boys. He was also exempted from the school’s dress code: he was allowed to wear makeup because of his right to self-expression, while girls were generally not allowed to do so.

If you look at documentaries on transgendered women and men, you may be led to believe that it’s a natural occurrence for a child to be born without The Creator having made a decision on his or her sex. In fact, the new season of America’s Next Top Model will feature Isis, a transgender wannabe model born male turned female. According to Isis, ‘my cards were dealt differently’.

I personally think the world has forgotten where to draw the line between respecting the differences of others and supporting and promoting bizarre sexual behaviour. Why is a rejection of absurd sexual orientation and behaviour viewed as a blow to human rights? Why should we support gay people who want to get married…can’t they just live together? Isn’t marriage supposed to be a sacred union between a man and woman?

I also wonder if animals can be gays or lesbians too- I’ve never seen any that are. Are human beings the only creatures with strange sexual behaviour- and if so, why? It would then seem as if homosexuality is not so normal, after all.

Yes, stigma is wrong. But I find it very alarming to know that we live in an era in which many children know what it means to be gay even before they know what sex is. To me, that just cannot be right.
