Necessity :
Negative Side
1. Homosexual relations/relationships are not biologically natural. Same-sex couples cannot
naturally produce children through their union.
2. It would weaken the definition and respect for the institution of marriage.
3. It would further weaken the traditional family values essential to our society.
4. It confuses children about gender roles and expectations of society knowing that only a
man and a woman can pro-create.
5. The gay lifestyle is not something to be encouraged, as a lot of research shows it leads to
a much lower life expectancy, psychological disorders, and other problems.
Positive side
1. Homosexuality is an accepted lifestyle nowadays with most evidence strongly supporting
biological causation.
2. It doesn't hurt society or anyone in particular. Therefore, denying these marriages is a
form of minority discrimination.
3. Legalizing same sex marriage will be a big help for orphanages since same sex partners
cannot pro-create which would probably brought them to adopting orphans.
4. The only thing that should matter in marriage is love.
5. The same financial benefits that apply to man-woman marriages apply to same-sex
marriages.
Practicability
Positive :
There are at least 1 million LGBT people contribute daily to Filipino life inside and outside the
country in a multitude of ways culturally, socially, financially, politically, vocationally, and spiritually.
These contributions can be realized only by legalization of the same-sex marriage. These people
should be treated equally regardless of sex, religion, and everything according to the law.
