Critical Thinking Questions:
1. Agree or disagree - Are you in favor of legalizing marriage among homosexuals
and transgender?
Beforehand, I would like to make it clear that I have utmost respect to same-sex
married couple and my answers do not seek tarnish any union in the LGBT+
community. I am in favor and full support in the idea of a civil union (which is a union
outside the church, allowing homosexual couples to be officially recognized as
partners; and constitutes all benefits and protections as are granted to spouses in a
marriage under existing laws) but I am not in favor when it comes to marriage. As one
of the sacraments and the foundation of the Christian church, I would like to keep
marriage between a man and a woman as this type of union supports marriage's main
purpose: which is for procreation and life. Allowing same-sex marriage would
somehow diminish the authenticity and its main purpose. Even if one would argue
about love having no gender, the concept of marriage has its mandate in the Church’s
very foundation, that is the bible; and the bible solely discusses that marriage is limited
to the union of a man and a woman.
