This is a link to an essay I wrote on Gay Marriage as part of my degree program in Journalism. Hope you all like it.
In the eyes of many people gay marriage, much like abortion, is considered a moral issue due to the fact that most religions in the world view homosexuality as a deviance from the norm, whereas abortion the murder of innocent children. I believe that this stems from the idea established in the book of Genesis, and similar creation accounts from other sacred texts, that the primary purpose of humanity is for men and women to join together in one flesh couples and procreate. This arrangement later became referred to as marriage and is often regarded as the foundation of human civilization. Both homosexuality and abortion are in strong opposition to these absolute concepts. I also found that there are those conservative, not necessarily religious, people who view homosexuality as a mental illness or a psychological disorder and therefore oppose gay marriage on that basis.
