  • Is your liberal professor giving you problems because you oppose same-sex "marriage?"

  • If so, you need some quick rebuttals that show how same-sex "marriage" doesn't work.

  • Keep watching because we're going to help you Fight Back!

  • "You will write, 100 times, on the blackboard"

  • 'I will be politically correct in class.'

  • "We don't say 'traditional marriage' in this class- that is bigoted!"

  • "The Bible is not history! Ha, ha ha!"

  • "The work of Darwin is irrefutable!"

  • "A fetus is just a clump of cells!"

  • We are all equal: plants, animals, people!

  • All right, that's it! Enough is enough!

  • ("Fight Back" theme song)

  • Before jumping into the topic,

  • I want to say that we have no intention to defame or disparage anyone.

  • by intellectually opposing individuals or organizations that promote the homosexual agenda,

  • our only goal is to defend the sacred institution of marriage and the family,

  • and protect the treasures of Christian civilization.

  • You and I have every right to defend the truth in charity.

  • Okay, let's go to our first reason.

  • #1. It's not marriage

  • Calling something marriage does not make it marriage.

  • Marriage has always been the covenant between a man and a woman.

  • That's how children come into the world. That's how families are formed.

  • "A man and a woman has nothing to do with it"

  • "Shame on your definition of marriage!"

  • Same-sex unions are not marriages,

  • because they deny the self evident distinction between male and female,

  • between mother and father.

  • It's very simple: two entirely different things cannot be called the same thing.

  • #2. It violates natural law

  • Marriage is not just any relationship between two people.

  • It's deeply rooted in human nature itself,

  • which is governed by natural law.

  • Now, natural law’s most basic precept is this: “Do what's good, and avoid what's evil."

  • By reason we know what is morally good or bad.

  • Thus, we understand the purpose of our actions.

  • In marriage, the procreative act of husband and wife has a primary purpose: procreation.

  • To intentionally circumvent that purpose violates natural law

  • and the objective norm of morality.

  • Every child should be raised by his natural father and mother.

  • this rule is confirmed by the obvious difficulties faced by orphan children.

  • A child who lives in a same-sex union environment

  • is never going to have his biological mother or father.

  • He will always be missing a mother or father role model.

  • Through this, we can see that the homosexual movement

  • downgrades and discards motherhood and fatherhood

  • as something necessary for a child, even when children themselves

  • naturally crave for a mother or father.

  • And there are single parents, like my mom, all across the country

  • who do a heroic job raising terrific kids,

  • but I still wish I had a dad who was

  • not only around but involved.

  • In the name of the "family"

  • same-sex "marriage" serves to validate

  • the homosexual lifestyle in all of its bisexual and transgender variants.

  • You see, civil laws are structuring principles that guide society.

  • Laws shape the life of society, and as such

  • can mold the perception right and wrong.

  • That's why I oppose the legal recognition of homosexual "marriage:"

  • because it obscures basic moral values, devalues natural marriage

  • and weakens public morality.

  • A moral wrong can never be a civil right.

  • Homosexual activists say that same-sexmarriage

  • is a civil right, just like the struggle for racial equality in the 60's.

  • This is not true!

  • Sexual behavior and race are two completely different things!

  • A man and a woman who want to get married can be:

  • black or white, rich or poor, short or tall.

  • None of those differences are obstacles to true marriage

  • because nature is still respected.

  • Same-sex unions, on the other hand, oppose nature.

  • "It's about Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."

  • If God wanted it to be that way,

  • he would've made Adam and Steve, or two females. He didn't, people!

  • He made man and took the ribs and made woman!

  • Not the other way around. People, come on! It's simple! It's simple!

  • AND YOU 'RE CONFUSING THE KIDS!"

  • Two individuals of the same sex can never be married because its biologically impossible.

  • No matter how hard a man tries, he can never be a mother.

  • One cannot compare genetic racial traits

  • to non-genetic behavior.

  • Homosexual Unions are 100% Sterile

  • A man and a woman who get married are naturally able to have children and form a family.

  • But homosexual unions, on the other hand, are 100% sterile.

  • The sexual acts of two men or two women will never produce a child!

  • If two men want to have a child, they have to use artificial means and employ surrogates.

  • There always has to be a woman involved!

  • Their unions cannot form families.

  • Someone could object and say, "Well, you're saying that couples who can't have children shouldn't get married?"

  • The answer to the objection is this: procreation is connected to the

  • to the essence marriage and family.

  • While man and a woman may accidentally not be able to conceive a child

  • their union is still in accordance with nature.

  • In contrast, homosexual unions are sterile and not natural.

  • Alan Keyes gives the great analogy of an apple.

  • If the apple has a warm inside of it or is rotten- it's still an apple.

  • Whereas, an orange will never be an apple

  • no matter what you do to it.

  • It's the same thing with homosexual unions- they will never beget families.

  • It defeats the state's purpose of benefiting marriage.

  • One of the reasons why the state gives benefits to true marriage is this:

  • by nature and by design, marriage provides children

  • with the normal conditions for a stable, beneficial, affectionate and moral atmosphere.

  • This helps perpetuate the nation and strengthen society.

  • Homosexual unions don't provide that!

  • Their primary purpose, objectively speaking, is the personal gratification of two individuals.

  • That's why homosexual unions are not entitled to the same protection that the state gives to natural marriage.

  • By legalizing same-sex "marriage," the state becomes its official promoter.

  • In every situation where marriage affects society,

  • the state will expect good people, like you, to betray your conscience,

  • to betray the natural order and to betray Christian morality.

  • This new type of persecution is already hitting bakers, photographers, and flower shops

  • that choose not to serve same-sex "weddings."

  • For example, in Massachusetts, the father of a 6-year-old boy

  • was arrested and put in jail. Why?

  • Because he objected to the pro-homosexual curriculum being taught in his son's school.

  • Unfortunately, more and more children are being exposed to the homosexual lifestyle in school,

  • even though parents don't want it.

  • Today, the sexual revolution is telling society to accept unnatural vice.

  • This explains why homosexual activist Paul Varnell wrote:

  • If homosexual "marriage" is accepted,

  • what logical arguments can be used to oppose, let's say,

  • two men and three women from getting married?

  • It's shocking but elements of certain subcultures are already advocating

  • incest, pedophilia, bestiality, and other forms of unnatural behavior.

  • In the Book of Genesis, we read:

  • Marriage is not the creature of any State.

  • It was established by God in Paradise for our first parents, Adam and Eve.

  • Whenever we violate the natural moral order established by God, we sin.

  • That's why same-sexmarriageis wrong. And that's why it must be opposed.

  • Natural marriage is on the right side of history! Stand on the right side of history!

  • Defend God's marriage and be on the right side of history!
