" I now pronounce you MAN and WOMAN "- actually means a MAN and a WOMAN.


Should same sex "marriage" be legalized in St.Vincent and the Grenadines? ABSOLUTELY NOT!








The argument of same sex marriage continues to be a well debated matter that leaves St.Vincent and the Grenadines searching for answers. While it is currently illegal to be married to a person of the same sex in St.Vincent and the Grenadines, the issue has stirred up many persons to share their views, some even taking it to the social media.

Nevertheless, I stand against same sex "marriage". I am not one to discriminate, and in no way is posting to be little or condemn anyone, however I consider same sex "marriage" to be wrong for these reasons:



Not God's will 


Same sex "marriage" is not God's plan for humanity. Marriage was established by God for a man and a woman; the first couple being Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve as we read in the book of Genesis "God created man in His image; in the Divine image he created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them, saying: ‘Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.’” (Gen. 1:28-29). If God ordained marriage for a man and a woman, how then should we go against His words and legalize same sex "marriage"? Additionally persons of the same sex cannot make children. It takes a man's sperm and a woman's egg for a child to be conceived. Therefore how else can we be fertile and multiple if not between both a MAN and a WOMAN.

Furthermore, Jesus Christ taught us “From the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.” (Mark 10:6-7). This clearly states man and wife, not man and husband or woman and wife.
We also learn from Genesis how God punish Sodom and Gomorrah for the sin of homosexuality: “The Lord rained down sulphurous fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah. He overthrew those cities and the whole Plain, together with the inhabitants of the cities and the produce of the soil.” (Gen. 19:24-25) 



At all times a child is either denied a father or a mother


It is always best for children to be raised by the influence of both father and mother. consequently when this is not the case, there are many difficulties faced by children who are raised by a single parent, a relative or a foster parent. 

Additionally, the situation is the same for the children of a same sex "marriage". Children of the same sex marriage will always lack the benefit of either his/her natural mother or father. Same sex marriage is not in the best interest of the child. He/she will always be deprived of either a mother or a father role model and will be raised by one party who is not even related to them by blood.
