United States hearings on gay marriage

Dear Editor,

The whole issue of same-sex marriage is really about the normalisation of homosexuality rather than marriage.

Sexuality has an intrinsic meaning and direction which is not homosexual. The meaning and direction of sexuality is to bring about the union of man and woman, and in this way give humanity posterity, children, future.

This is the determination internal to the essence of sexuality. Everything else is against sexuality's intrinsic meaning and direction. This is a point we need to hold firm, even if it is not pleasing to our age.

Homosexuality is not innate. Behaviours are changeable. There are serious medical and psychiatric illnesses, and risks, of the homosexual lifestyle. Pediatricians, mental health professionals, physicians, nurses, school counsellors, parents, politicians, and the media have a clear legal and moral responsibility to inform the public of this, and that homosexuality is ultimately not an acceptable lifestyle.

Let us hope that the US Supreme Court will recognise the obvious and act swiftly to condemn same-sex marriage.
