[Grem] same-sex relationships are HARMFUL and are NOT acts of love

*The most popular and convincing argument for the redefinition of marriage
strikes at the most powerful motivation on earth: love.* “*If two men
loving each other, why can’t they get married,” the rhetorical question
goes.*  Unless the love argument is responded to with love, the response
will lose.

The best motivation for opposing same-sex “marriage” is love and concern
for those with same-sex attraction, even when it’s socially difficult—to
point to the fact that *gay sex is harmful to health and wellness.*

*There is only one sexual lifestyle that is actually healthy for the human
body and mind—one man and one woman, freely and totally, faithfully and
fruitfully united. *Apart from all the STIs which accompany sex with
multiple partners—heterosexual or homosexual—there is the life-long
psychological and emotional union that forms with one’s very first sexual
partner.

In addition to the mental health of our fellow man, *gay sex harms the
physical health of men. While sleeping around is bad for anyone’s physical
health, the harm of gay sex is astounding. * Just 2 percent to 4 percent of
men say they have same-sex attractions, yet *the Centers for Disease
Control finds that nearly two-thirds of new HIV/AIDS cases every year are
in the homosexual male community*—and a similar percentage of
HIV/AIDS-afflicted people are gay men.

Often, gay activists rebut the above facts by claiming that studies are
biased, or that somehow the Obama administration’s bureaucrats are anti-gay
researchers. However, they should at least listen to one of their own—Gens
Hellquist, who prior to his death was the Executive Director of the
Canadian Rainbow Health Coalition.

In 2006, one year after same-sex “marriage” was legalized in Canada,
Hellquist gave a powerful testimony demanding more health-care dollars for
the LGBT community.

In his testimony, Hellquist said that “We have one of the poorest health
statuses in this country … *Health issues affecting queer Canadians include
lower life expectancy than the average Canadian, suicide, higher rates of
substance abuse, depression, inadequate access to care and HIV/AIDS*.”

“There are all kinds of health issues that are endemic to our community,”
he added. “*We have higher rates of anal cancer in the gay male community,
lesbians have higher rates of breast cancer….”*

He concluded this most powerful testimony by saying, “now that we can get
married everyone assumes that we don’t have any issues any more. A lot of
the deaths that occur in our community are hidden, we don’t see them. Those
of us who are working on the front lines see them and* I’m tired of
watching my community die.”*

In many of the federal court decisions overturning state laws on marriage,
activist judges have said that federalism doesn’t apply because “animus” is
not a valid reason to make laws. However, these judges are, whether on
purpose or by accident, misjudging where that animus is aimed.

It is not aimed at homosexuals, who are all children of God and equal to
anyone else. They are aimed at the *chosen sexual actions *of homosexuals,
which cause grievous harm to their bodies, minds and souls.

This fight is also about children. *A*s bisexual Professor Robert Oscar
Lopez and five other people raised by same-sex parents argued in amicus
briefs last month, *same-sex “marriage” turns children from valued
creations of love to mere cattle, bought and sold on the market.* Of
specific note are procedures opposed by the Catholic Church, such as use of
IVF and other procedures to create children for homosexual couples—which
cannot naturally create children.

*True love* isn’t just emotional—it *includes the willingness to stand for
what’s right and just *for another person, even and perhaps especially when
it’s unpopular. While some opposed to same-sex “marriage” have erred in
their actions, by acting hateful or by shunning their same-sex-attracted
brothers and sisters, the vast majority of people who have supported
traditional marriage do so out of a love far greater than judges,
politicians, and gay activists realize.

Again, *what better way is there to express love than by informing friends,
relatives, and loved ones that their** lifestyles are harmful?*  Such a
position does not come from hate—rather, it comes from a love great enough
to bear the labels of “hater” and “bigot” in order to fight for the
spiritual and physical health of all people.
