This document discusses the current debate around same-sex marriage. It argues that recognizing same-sex marriage would change the definition of marriage from being about procreation to being about personal choice and self-fulfillment. It claims this could lead to attempts to legalize polygamy and negatively impact religious freedom. The document also argues that same-sex couples raising children is not the optimal family structure from a societal perspective, and that recognizing same-sex marriage could increase commercialization of human bodies.
The document discusses women-to-women (lesbian) relationships. It defines lesbians as women who are sexually attracted to other women. Historically, lesbian relationships were illegal and socially unacceptable. Over time, the lesbian rights movement has advocated for greater legal protections and recognition of lesbian relationships and families. While same-sex marriage is now legal in some places, lesbian couples still face challenges in gaining full equal rights and social acceptance compared to heterosexual couples. The document also discusses various aspects of building and maintaining healthy lesbian relationships, such as communication, commitment, and creating a supportive community.
Lesbian relationships have faced challenges due to societal and legal biases. Historically, lesbianism was seen as strange and illegal. Lesbians kept their relationships secret to avoid discrimination. Over time, activists advocated for greater legal rights and recognition of lesbian identities. Same-sex marriage is now legal in some places, but lesbians still face barriers to equal treatment and do not have all the civil rights of heterosexual couples. Building healthy lesbian relationships requires open communication, shared power, and supportive communities.

It outlines arguments in favor of legalization, such as insurance benefits for married couples and increasing adoption rates. Statistics are presented showing growing public support for same-sex marriage over time. The document also discusses the impact on lesbian and gay youth, and organizations working to support same-sex couples and fight for marriage equality.

Redefining marriage brings about social change. A small part of this change is positive, but it also brings about a lot of negative social outcomes too. This lecture looks at how religions automatically go into decline in countries that redefine marriage. In their place, the state sets about redefining right and wrong based on the changing views of the political class. Since these new definitions are often at odds with what people know to be right or wrong, the only way for the state to keep these new values in place is through fear. Society is left without the timeless principles that are found within most religions - and totalitarianism creeps in.

This document defines marriage and family, discusses the essential elements and legal aspects of marriage, and examines theories of the family. It begins by defining marriage as a contract between a man and woman that establishes family life and involves rights and duties. Marriage aspects include legal and religious views. The document also explores family types, theories of the family, factors in choosing a marriage partner, and patterns of family organization.
Same-sex Marriage Lecture 1: What is Marriage and Why does redefining it make...FamilyMan2
This document discusses how redefining marriage to include same-sex unions makes it harder for heterosexuals to fulfill their marital dreams. It argues that:
1. Opposition to same-sex marriage is because redefining marriage will weaken heterosexual marriage, which could harm children and society.
2. Redefining marriage changes it from an institution focused on responsible procreation and child-rearing, to one based only on adult desires. This leaves children's rights and needs unprotected.
3. Analogizing to changing the rules of a chess club, it suggests redefining marriage could cause heterosexuals to leave the institution or be less committed to it, weakening the social benefits of lifelong heterosexual
This document discusses arguments for and against same-sex marriage. It provides background on laws like the Defense of Marriage Act and outlines economic and social benefits of legalizing same-sex marriage, such as tax benefits for married couples and increased acceptance of LGBT individuals. The document also examines objections to same-sex marriage related to traditional definitions of marriage and procreation. It concludes that a federal law is needed to guarantee same-sex couples the right to marry nationwide.
The document discusses recent trends showing a decline in marriage in the US. It summarizes research demonstrating that children tend to have better outcomes when raised by continuously married parents compared to children of divorced or unmarried parents. The document urges finding ways to promote the importance of stable family structures and marriage through education, media choices, and civic discussions in order to improve children's well-being and society overall.
This document discusses the pros and cons of same-sex marriage. The pros include financial benefits to governments and families, encouragement of adoption, and provision of health benefits. However, others argue that same-sex marriage threatens traditional notions of marriage and family, and could confuse children. Overall, the document examines both sides of the debate around legalizing same-sex marriage.
This document provides an overview of sociological perspectives on the family. It discusses how sociologists define family and how the traditional concept of family has changed over time. It also summarizes research showing increasing diversity in family forms, including rising rates of divorce, single-parent families, and LGBT families. The document contrasts functionalist, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionist views of the family and its role in society.
The document discusses issues related to gay rights and same-sex relationships. It argues that gay marriage should be legal to ensure equal rights for all. It presents pros and cons of gay marriage, such as financial benefits and being against some religions. It also discusses discrimination faced by LGBT youth, higher suicide rates among gay and lesbian teens, and the "No H8" campaign protesting Proposition 8.
This document discusses same-sex marriage, providing definitions and discussing its recognition and legal status in various countries and jurisdictions. It notes that several countries have revised marriage laws to recognize same-sex couples in the 21st century. Thirteen countries currently allow same-sex marriage, as do certain sub-jurisdictions within other nations. The document also lists several local government units in the Philippines that have passed anti-discrimination ordinances. However, the Philippines itself does not offer any legal recognition to same-sex relationships. It concludes by discussing perspectives for and against same-sex marriage.
This document defines marriage and discusses types of marriage and important legal matters related to marriage. It defines marriage as a contract between a man and a woman to form a family and have children. There are two types of marriage discussed - monogamy between one man and one woman, and polygamy which allows multiple spouses. Important legal matters for marriage include requirements for legal capacity to marry, consent from parents, a valid license, and processes for annulment, legal separation, and divorce.
Same-sex Marriage Lecture 2. In a marriage redefined society - fidelity - an ...FamilyMan2
Redefining marriage brings about social change. A small part of this change is positive, but it also brings about a lot of negative social outcomes too. In this lecture we look at the core value of fidelity - an essential building block of heterosexual marriage. We find that in a marriage redefined society this value becomes ever-more weakened. Without this core value in place as a social expectation fewer heterosexuals marry and more end up divorcing. More children suffer a childhood without the love of both biological parents - and future society struggles even more with social decay.
The document discusses the definition and nature of marriage and family. It defines marriage as a social institution that establishes the family unit and regulates sexual behavior. The family provides for children's socialization and needs. Marriage involves legal, religious, social, and personal aspects. The document also discusses theories of the family, types of family structures, factors in choosing a marriage partner, and norms regarding marriage and family across cultures.
The document discusses a debate around same-sex marriage. It argues that allowing same-sex marriage would fundamentally change the traditional definition of marriage and could lead to further attempts to broaden the definition, such as allowing polygamous marriages. It asserts that marriage is based on the complementary nature of men and women and that redefining it could have negative social consequences.
Should Society Accept Same Sex Marriage - A reportSamuel pongen
The document discusses arguments for and against allowing same-sex marriage in society. It notes that while some argue legalizing same-sex marriage could weaken the institution of marriage, deny procreation as its purpose, and send the wrong message, others argue that denying homosexuals the right to marry denies them basic rights. Research shows homosexuality is not a choice but likely influenced by genetic factors. Legalizing same-sex marriage could provide benefits to same-sex couples like heterosexual married couples receive. The document concludes that human rights should apply to all and same-sex couples deserve the same legal rights and benefits as opposite-sex couples through a system that does not degrade religious views of marriage.
Edward Westermark. “Marriage is a relation of one or more men to one or more women which is recognised by custom or law and involves certain rights and duties both in the case of the parties entering the union and in the case of the children born of it.
As B. Malinowski defines, “Marriage is a contract for the production and maintenance of children”.
According H.M. Johnson, “Marriage is a stable relationship in which a man and a woman are socially permitted without loss of standing in community, to have children”.
Ira L. Reiss writes, “Marriage is a socially accepted union of individuals in husband and wife roles, with the key function of legitimating of parenthood”.
This document discusses definitions of the family and different types of family structures. It begins by defining the family as a social unit that is usually linked by blood, marriage, cohabitation, child-rearing responsibilities and economic cooperation. It then describes nuclear families, extended families, blended families, and binuclear families. The document also covers kinship networks, marriage, courtship and mate selection, functions of the family, and alternative family forms including cohabitation and single-parent households. It discusses perspectives on the family from functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism.
This document discusses how legalizing same-sex marriage may negatively impact society by changing the definition of marriage. It argues that defining marriage only as a union between a man and woman directs appropriate social behavior, while making it more inclusive could decrease marriage rates and increase out-of-wedlock births. It also claims that legalizing same-sex marriage may reduce the importance placed on monogamy and financial obligations between spouses. Overall, the document contends that redefining marriage could undermine the traditional family structure and the social and financial benefits it provides.
The document discusses how family influences gender roles. It notes that children begin developing their gender identity between ages 2-3 and learn gender roles through observing their family. Gender roles are defined by the social and cultural norms of society. The family plays a key role in socializing children into gender roles through parental modeling and parent-child interactions. While media historically portrayed the nuclear family as the norm, modern media now shows more diverse family structures. The document examines how various social institutions like politics, work, religion, and media intersect with and influence the family system.
The document summarizes the history of same-sex marriage rights in Washington D.C. from 2009 to 2013. By late 2009, many D.C. residents supported same-sex marriage rights despite opposition from some religious groups. In 2009, clergy from different faiths came together to support marriage equality. In 2010, D.C. began allowing same-sex marriage after the City Council passed legislation legalizing it. The first same-sex marriage in D.C. took place in March 2010. Over the following years, support for same-sex marriage rights grew both in D.C. and nationwide as public figures including President Obama voiced support.
The Impact of Same-Sex Marriage Laws on Health Insurance Coverage: Evidence f...soder145
This document analyzes the impact of same-sex marriage laws on health insurance coverage using data from five states. It finds that when states legalized same-sex marriage, health insurance coverage through employers increased for same-sex couples. In states that transitioned from no recognition to marriage, coverage increased 3.6-4.5 percentage points for same-sex partners. In states that replaced civil unions with marriage, coverage increased 0.4-1.8 percentage points. The findings suggest that same-sex marriage laws provide some protections for LGBT workers by allowing them to add partners to employer-sponsored insurance plans.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document discusses a study examining contraceptive attitudes and use among female college students. It found that the most commonly used methods were male condoms, birth control pills, withdrawal, and implants/patches. Students were grouped as uninterrupted, intermittent, or non-users of contraception. Contraceptive attitude scores were generally positive and higher among uninterrupted users. While demographic factors did not influence contraceptive use in this homogeneous sample, evidence-based practices to reduce unintended pregnancy include improved education and access to effective long-acting reversible contraceptives.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. We ve Been Here Before,
If That Is Any Comfort
The Mormon polygamy controversy in the
United States, 1845-1895
3. [C]ertainly no legislation can be
supposed more wholesome and
necessary in the founding of a free,
self-governing commonwealth, fit to
take rank as one of the co-ordinate
States of the Union, that which seeks
to establish it on the basis of the idea
of the family, as consisting in and
springing from the union for life of
one man & one woman in the holy
estate of matrimony; the sure
foundation of all that is stable and
noble in our civilization; the best
guaranty of that reverent morality
which is the source of all beneficent
progress in social & political
improvement.
Murphy v. Ramsey, 114 U.S. 15, 45 (1885)
4. Purpose of Marriage Amendment:
To Prevent State Courts
from Invalidating the State Marriage Statute
Based on the State Constitution.
State courts in nine states have invalidated their
states marriage laws based on the state
constitutions, with Minnesota case possible # 10:
California, Hawaii and Alaska: Voters overturned
court decisions with constitutional amendments.
Maryland, New York and Washington: State
appellate courts overturned lower court decisions
invalidating state marriage laws.
Connecticut, Iowa and Massachusetts – state law
invalidated by state supreme court.
5. Fighting for Marriage and Helping the Poor
Why Marriage Matters: Twenty-One Conclusions from the
Social Sciences, Institute for American Values (2002)
updated second edition 2005.
Marriage fights poverty -
Research shows that divorce and unmarried
childbearing increase the economic vulnerability of
children and mothers…
Marriage builds wealth –
Married couples build more wealth on average
than do otherwise similar singles or cohabiting
couples, even after controlling for income.
6. Marriage helps children -
Parental divorce increases children s risk of school
failure and reduces the likelihood that they will
graduate from college.
Children who live with their own two married
parents enjoy better physical health and less infant
mortality than do children in other family forms.
Marriage is associated with reduced rates of alcohol
and substance abuse for both adults and teens.
7. Marriage reduces domestic violence, child abuse and
other crime -
Married woman experience less domestic violence
than women in cohabiting or dating relationships.
A child not living with his or her own married
parents is at greater risk for child abuse.
Boys raised in single parent homes are about twice
as likely (and boys raised in stepfamilies are three
times as likely) to have committed a crime that leads
to incarceration by the time they reach their early
thirties.
8. What is the State s Interest in Marriage?
Why does the government license marriages but not
friendships? Aren t they loving relationships, too?
Is a marriage license the government s confirmation
that two people really love each other?
Did societies develop marriage as a delivery
mechanism for government benefits?
Did societies develop marriage as a way for people to
save money through pooled resources?
So why do societies regulate marriage?
9. A consensus of world cultures from the dawn of
time, separated by centuries and continents, agree
that they must create and sustain a public institution
called marriage, that they uniformly define as one
man and one woman:
The family – based on a union, more or less durable,
but socially approved, of two individuals of the
opposite sexes who establish a household and bear
and raise children – appears to be a practically
universal phenomenon, present in every type of
society.
Anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss,
The View From Afar, pp. 40-41 (1985).
10. Nations from the dawn of history have regulated
marriage. The consensus of world cultures from
their collective experience is that:
- The interaction of men and women will
inevitably produce children. Society must deal
with that reality and has an interest in making
sure that children, the next generation of citizens,
are raised in the best way.
- Children are best raised by their own father and
mother, so society must develop ways to ensure
that happens.
11. Nations from the beginning of history have regulated
marriage. The consensus of world cultures from
their collective experience is that:
- Societies have learned from their collective
experience that if they allow everyone to do
whatever they want in terms of family and sexual
behavior, societies get…
- irresponsible men
- exploited women
- neglected and undisciplined children
12. Same-sex couples do not implicate this interest to
promote marriage because:
1. Same-sex couples cannot produce children
except for some sort of planned heterosexual
intervention.
2. Same-sex couples do not have a father and a
mother, so it is not the optimal environment
for raising children from society s standpoint.
Who is not necessary to raise the child, the
father or the mother?
13. Barack Obama made a similar point in a speech given June 15,
2008, the day before California started granting same sex
marriage licenses:
We are called to recognize and honor how
critical every father is to th[e] foundation
of the family. They are mentors and role
models… But if we are honest with ourselves,
we ll admit that what many fathers also are
is missing – missing from too many lives and
too many homes….We know the statistics – that children who grow
up without a father are 5 times more likely to live in poverty and
commit crime; 9 times more likely to drop out of schools and 20
times more likely to end up in prison… We need [fathers] to realize
that responsibility does not end at conception. We need them to
realize that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child
– it s the courage to raise one.
14. Same-sex couples do not implicate this interest to
promote marriage because:
3. Advocates of same-sex marriage are not pro-
marriage but pro-personal choice.
Marriage is an option that should be open but
is not a superior choice from society s
standpoint. That sounds too much like the
discredited anything goes – personal choice
philosophy that creates immense social
problems for societies.
Story of Pierre who called me on a San Francisco
public radio show in 2004.
15. Harm #1
Redefining marriage changes its foundation from a Procreation
model to a Self-Satisfaction/Self-Autonomy model.
Adopting gay marriage would contribute significantly to changing
the public meaning of marriage from a structured social form to a
private relationship, from an institution with defined social
purposes to a right of personal expression.
David Blankenhorn, The Future of Marriage (2007) at 205.
. . . It is at moments like this that we realize that marriage itself
has changed. . . . From being a means to bringing up children, it
has become primarily a way in which two adults affirm their
emotional commitment to one another.
Andrew Sullivan, Introduction to Same-Sex Marriage, A Reader: Pro and Con, (1997), n.
82 at xix.
16. Example: Contrast Tiger Woods response to adultery
with that of same-sex marriage advocates:
The same boundaries that apply
to everyone apply to me. I brought
this shame on myself. I hurt my
wife, my kids, my mother…
Tiger Woods - Feb. 19, 2010
Openly homosexual author Andrew Sullivan has admitted
that most homosexuals understanding of the sexual
commitment in a marriage is considerably broader that what
nearly all heterosexual couples would tolerate. He added
that homosexuals have a need for extramarital outlets.
17.
18. Harm #2
It will increase attempts to legalize polygamy.
• Mormon polygamists in British Columbia are arguing in
court that the Canadian court decisions legalizing same-
sex marriage should also legalize polygamy.
• If same-sex orientation becomes a legitimate grounding
for same-sex marriage, it is likely that bisexual orientation
could become a legitimate grounding for group marriage.
David Blankenhorn, The Future of Marriage (2007) at 207.
• Growing Muslim populations in Europe will agitate for
legalized polygamy.
19. Harm #3
Religious liberty and the freedom of conscience will suffer
for people or institutions that believe in marriage.
• Business owners sued for discrimination
• Speakers sued for hate speech
• Counselors and social workers losing their professional
licenses
• Religious colleges losing their accreditation or sued for
discrimination
• Religious institutions losing their tax exemptions
20. Harm #4
People will increasingly be converted into commodities
by being paid to use their bodies to serve the reproductive
choices of others.
Is this progress or human trafficking?
In 2011, a male Spanish
couple showed their twins
carried by the impoverished
Indian woman they paid for
surrogacy services .
21. Typical Arguments Raised for Same-Sex
Marriage
1. Marriage is a fundamental right, so regular
marriage laws violate the human rights of
same-sex couples.
The right to marry is a right to enter into a
marriage consisting of a man and a woman, not a
right to redefine marriage to include anyone(s).
This is not marriage equality, but marriage
deconstruction. No society can have a common,
uniform definition of marriage – it is all radical
self-autonomy based in self-fulfillment.
22. Typical Arguments Raised for Same-Sex
Marriage
2. Marriage has changed over the centuries.
Women used to be their husband s chattel, and
some states banned interracial marriages.
This argument confuses the dynamics of marriage
with the definition of marriage. Two marriages
both consisting of one man and one woman, can
be totally different in the social dynamics between
the husband and wife – well educated husband and
wife living in condo in the big city contrasted with
Amish couple living on a farm.
23. 3. Marriage laws banning same-sex marriage are
morally wrong like old laws prohibiting
interracial marriage – Loving v. Virginia (1967).
- Race is not an inherent part of marriage – the
interracial couple sought to enter into marriage as
traditionally defined – one man and one woman
- But sex is an inherent part of marriage – only a
man and a woman together can produce a child,
and they can be of any racial background.
- American miscegenation laws prohibited only
white people from having an interracial marriage.
For example, Asians could legally marry blacks and
whites could marry Indians in certain circumstances.
24. 4. The law allows infertile couples and old couples
to marry, so society should permit infertile
same-sex couples to marry.
- Most opposite sex marriages do produce children.
- Only a man and a woman marriage can produce
children. A same-sex couple cannot produce
children, absent third party heterosexual help.
- The infertility of many couples is temporary.
- An infertile couple still can do something no
same-sex couple can ever do – raise a child with a
mother and a father.
25. Same-Sex Marriage is not Inevitable
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh.
Is there anything too difficult for me?
Jeremiah 32:27
Oh give us help against the adversary,
For deliverance by man is in vain.
Through God we will do valiantly, And it is He
who shall tread down our adversaries.
Psalm 108:12-13
