Stupid Cupid

Love is blind. Love is sweet. Love is something that can’t be stopped when felt. Once cupid strikes your heart, there’s nothing you can do but allow yourself to fall in love. As what a song goes, “Kapag tumibok ang puso, wala ka nang magagawa kundi sundin ito.” Love doesn’t choose time, place or person. That’s why sometimes; people tend to fall in love at the wrong place, at the wrong time and with the wrong person or with the wrong gender. Yes, you read it right, wrong gender.
Apart from the infamous RH Bill proposed by the administration early last year, the current regime is now preparing to instigate a new bill that would certainly convey another round of debate; the legalization of same sex marriage. In liberal countries like USA, the marriage of two same –sexed couples is permissible. However, in a country where church was reputed as a higher institution like Philippines, I doubt if people and the church itself would agree on that petition.
Since the world has been modernized and liberalized, government thinks that it’s about time that we adapt to change and imitate liberal countries in the west. The rise of third sex (gays and lesbians) had made it possible for Filipinos to accept the idea of same sex marriage or same sex relationships. In America and most of the Western countries, they allowed the marriage of two people having same gander because for them, “there’s nothing wrong with two individuals who love each other” and “if they really love each other, they can undergo marriage”.
Same-sex Marriage? Fine!
July last year, the Metropolitan Community Church, Baguio held a ceremony wherein eight pairs of individuals having same sex got married. This incident draws a lot of criticism not only from the public but also from different churches and group of pastors. According to them marriage should be between a man and woman only; this was under the law of God. January this year, Pope Benedict XVI proclaimed his resistance against the implementation of same sex marriage in the Philippines because this action might oppose the nature of a family. Same sex marriage, according to him, undermines the family, which considered as “the fundamental cell of society”.
Despite the strong disagreement of the Catholic Church to the said bill, still the government pushes this petition because they want a fair and just treatment to the people having the third sex. Ladlad party-list said in an interview that “Love is universal regardless of your sexual orientation and gender identity.” And that the implementation of this bill will only proves that the society accepts them and recognize their rights. But should the government passed this bill?
For me, no, they shouldn’t. Same sex marriage, as what the Pope has stated, will undermine the basic unit of society and will only result to different problems. Here are some problems that might occur after same sex marriage:
1. Unhappy Family
Women are the only people who can make men happy and men are the only people who can make women happy. Once that rule was broken, it will only result to unhappy married life. First, because you don’t have children, so your relationship cannot be classified as strong. Yes, you can always adopt a child but it’s different when you bore your own child. Legal wives knew that.
2. Same sex Marriage is next to divorce
Once a man or a woman realized that he /she isn’t happy with his/her partner, the tendency will always be a separation. Nowadays, men leave his wife if she can’t give him a child so what’s more when you can’t enjoy your marriage life?
3. Homosexuality is a Sin
According to the Bible, homosexuality was and will forever be a sin. God made man for women and vice versa. No man can ever break that law. If he does, then he’s doomed to punishment, eternal death.
4. Same sex marriage is Impractical
I won’t elaborate this statement because I don’t want to hurt gays or lesbians but let’s be realistic here. Same-sexed couples can’t have their own family and can’t enjoy their marriage life. In a more mature statement, same-sexed couples won’t enjoy the pleasure of sexual intercourse because they have the same sex organs.
5. The world changes but Man’s Need Don’t.
The world today might be different. We are liberated and modern. However, man’s need remains the same. We all need love but that need differs from gender to gender. As what I’ve said earlier only women can make men happy and only men can make women happy.
I have nothing against gays and lesbians. I believe that love is for everyone. However, I don’t believe that there’s really such thing as gays and lesbians. God made only two categories, man and women, Adam and Eve. According to a study, gays and lesbian are only psychological, it doesn’t exist. So whether a person is a gay or lesbian, they’re still possible to fall in love with an opposite sex.
