While it may not be a glamorous or enjoyable position to take in the public spectrum, the National Party strongly believe that marriage should be continued to be defined as between one man and one woman in the United States of America. Rather than the instant religious bigotry label which the mainstream enjoy tossing around to describe this position, our party comes to this ground only after considering the health and social effects which the legalization of homosexual marriage would have on the concreteness of the American way of life.
To start, it must be entirely clear that we are in full support of the benefits which come from marriage unions both financially and socially to couples. An attempt to strip away or void these life important aspects would be not only imprudent, but cruel and unfair to members of the homosexual community.
That made evident, our position on the issue involves a two part formula of nationwide unity and understanding. First, the social slope that legalization would have on culture, and second, the intensely toxic conditions it would thrust upon the American health status.
At some point in time, each of us were young; and with a little thought, we can recall moments when our parents told us not to commit certain acts or disobey their orders. We matured, and began learning both right and wrong, as well as the behaviors which would bolster our quality of life, and those that would subtract from it. With this mindset, we must understand the danger that a legalization of homosexual marriage for the gay movement would cause on the next generation.
Today, homosexuality is in its best place because it does not force itself upon anyone; getting involved into a committed relationship is a decision for homosexuals, and not an established social norm. Because it allows people to choose their way of life, we avoid unnecessary travelers down roads with given and evident personal detriments.
Legalizing gay marriage would be a critical mistake because doing so turns something that does not presently have a great grip on society into a mainstream and accepted life choice. In other words, children and teens no longer choose: they are forced to accept and rejoice over the gay community's lifestyle.
Once a government legalizes gay marriage, the next phase will come into the present: inserting it into the education system. Perhaps some would be quick to decry this as unlikely, but within 20-30 years, it is inevitable. How can something that is legal and accepted by adults not receive the same attention and respect by children? If a parent places a massive pile of desserts in front of a child, and then says "don't eat any, but if you do, nothing will happen to you," then the child sees nothing wrong with taking a bite. Thus our country will have more teenagers taking this lifestyle path as they mature and enter their own careers.
Were it only a personal choice, it would be fully acceptable, but the medical issues which such legalization would cause warrants excessive caution when approaching it. In the modern world, we know that STDs such as AIDs and HIV are sparsely common in homosexuals, something which everyone, no matter their views, wishes to avoid having affect a larger section of the population. As a separate section of society, this is not a major issue for consenting adults, but to make it mainstream would be a disaster medically for the United States of America.
Finally, in spite of the regular attack of the gay community accusing their detractors of oppression, it is at least fair to apply the same label to the most immovable members of the homosexual crowd. They are by and large a well educated group, and likely understand the full situation of this issue better than many of the less studied flock who they have attracted as supporters. Full and well is the bridge of their knowledge of the negative impacts which such a move would have, yet the oppressively force their lifestyle on other peoples as if they make up a universally pure and righteous corner of society. Homosexual couples deserve the benefits which marriage contracts entail, but not at the expense of dismantling the delicate thread and structural builder of culture that traditional marriage has always been.
