| − | In regards to '''homosexual marriage''', the same-sex "marriage" movement is seeks to destroy the sanctity of marriage by using political power to enforce a redefinition of the concept. The aim is to prevent any criticism, particularly religious-based criticism, of [[homosexual]] relationships. In regards to [[Homosexual Couples|homosexual couples]], studies indicate that [[Homosexuality and Promiscuity|homosexual couples have higher rates of promiscuity than heterosexual couples]]. In addition, studies report that [[Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence|homosexual couples have significantly higher incidences of violent behavior]]. These studies are not surprising given what pathologists have stated regarding the [[Homosexuality and Murders|commonness and brutality of homosexual murders]]. The prevalence of violence and emotional abuse in gay domestic partnerships.A particularly worrisome factor among [[gay rights]] [[activist]]s is One survey found 53% of gays felt if the high incidence of violence against partners in homosexual relationships was known and understood by the heterosexual population, it would hinder the drive for gay rights.
| + | Same-sex marriage is a union between two people of the same sex, and is currently a hotly debated topic throughout the [[United States of America]]. |
| | | | |
| − | Domestic abuse is divided into two categories, emotional abuse and physical abuse. While gay domestic abuse has not been studied to the extent that heterosexual relationships have, [[Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence|preliminary studies indicate a much higher level of abuse]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | One type of emotional abuse--threatening to "out" a partner to family, friends, or employers--is unique to homosexual relationships. Legalization of so-called "gay marriage" still would not end this type of abuse. Morality cannot be legislated.

| − |
| |
| − | Although the studies are decades behind heterosexual studies on violence between men and women, the indications are that homosexual relationships suffer from a much higher degree of physical violence than heterosexual relationships. Several studies have been made, and more are ongoing. However, it is safe to say at this juncture, that [[Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence|homosexual domestic relationships suffer from violence two to four times higher than the well studied incidence in heterosexual relationships]].

| − | The [[liberal]] rationale for homosexual marriage goes like this:
| |
| − | *Marriage is good.
| |
| − | *No one can criticize what is good.
| |
| − | *A [[same-sex union]], defined as marriage, is good.
| |
| − | *Therefore, no one can criticize same-sex unions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A flaw in the above argument is that [[Homosexuality and Choice|engaging in homosexual acts is a choice and a choice that is certainly not a good choice]].
