    Marriage is a union between man and a woman and better known as Holy
    Matrinomy, one of the most sacred sacraments. Couple engaged in a wedding because
    they love each other, want to start a family and marry for companionship, being content
    in spending time with another as long as they live. In Philippine context we all know
    that the acceptable married partners are a man and woman. However, the clamor for
    recognizing the marriage between gay and lesbian couples in the legal system has been
    ongoing for years. Same sex marriage is deemed as controversial and radical issue
    because it steps on the concepts of traditional family setup that is both acceptable to
    society and major religions.

    The concept of same sex marriage distort the meaning of marriage and that
    people would be confused of the purpose of marriage and lessens the protection for
    unborn children which true marriage provides. It will deny the child tax credits and
    assistance and right to share privileges such as social security, medicare, family and
    medical leave and other benefits. For me, same sex marriage do not last because more
    homosexuals would rather have extra marital affairs or relationships or they prefer to
    live alone. Children who will be raised with a family composed of same sex couple are
    more likely to experience gender and sexual disorders, they may free daughters and sons
    from a broad but uneven range of traditional gender prescriptions. Institutionalizing
    same sex marriage would take yet another step down the road of de-gendering marriage.
    They will use gender-neutral language and will create a pressure in moral and cultural
    aspect. In addition, same sex married couples offer each other something different, they
    share biological intimacy and sexual-risk taking that will exposed them to disease.

    After all, same sex marriage here in the Philippines will cause a big impact to our
    status quo and merely illegal and unconstitutional, it will isolate marriage from its
    procreative purpose and disrespect marriage as the holy matrimony. Same sex couples
    are unable to procreate thus, there is no compelling interest to subsidize their
    marriages. Citizens should promote awareness relating to the concept of same sex
    marriage and to give ideas whats really happening to our country. The Philippine
    society adheres to Catholic teachings and not yet ready to embrace the so called same
    sex marriage.
