Same Sex Marriage

 

Sample Letters to choose from when writing to your Federal Member of Parliament – 3 sample letters to mix and match

Sample 1:

Marriage defines the relationship between me, my wife and our children in a special way.

That special way is exclusive to this relationship, and to broaden the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples leaves me and my wife without our true identity.

Please don’t give your support to Same Sex Marriage.

The argument that the Marriage Act 1961 is discriminatory and unequal is WRONG.

Inequality, by definition, means two things that are the same are treated differently.

A black man and a white man are both members of the human race. If the black man gets preferential treatment at a Hotel bar and the white man is ignored, than this is what we call INEQUALITY.

The marital union between a man and a woman is called marriage. The union between a same sex couple cannot be defined as marriage, because the same sex couple is totally different and totally not the same as a heterosexual couple.

So because the “same sex couple” is not the same as a “heterosexual couple” the concept of INEQUALITY does not apply.

So, by definition, and by my vote, I am asking you to oppose any changes to the Marriage Act.

Sample 2:

Date

Name and Address of MP

Dear ………….

I am writing to you to express my opposition to the proposal for Same Sex Marriage.

I understand that homosexual people want acceptance in our society. This has been granted with superannuation and the adoption of children and decriminalisation etc.

However, you need to understand that the issue at hand here is not one of Inequality.

Inequality occurs when two things (that are both the same) are treated differently.

A Same Sex couple and a Heterosexual couple are 2 completely different things.

The Marriage Act 1961 defines the relationship between me and my spouse, and nobody else. I am sorry but I cannot see the Marriage Act accomodating Same Sex couples as they are not Heterosexual couples. Simple!

Please do not vote for any changes to the Marriage Act.

Thank you

Your Name
Address etc

Sample 3:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I think that legalizing “same sex marriage” would not be a good idea.

Family is everything. All good in the society comes through the family. Families begin with marriage. To attempt to change the definition of marriage would be a disaster for society. Leave the concept of marriage as it is.

To allow a full flourishing of the potential of a child who grows up to be an adult citizen a stable family is the most effective instrument. Gay marriages would destroy the concept of family, and thus destroy society.

“Gay marriages” do not form families. It seems to be only a way of seeking “public” approval for a non natural and selfish behavior!

Marriage is something “sacred” and considered as such by all cultures. While homosexual acts, which “gay marriages” are trying to have considered as something wholesome go against the natural law that is the way we are! How could you possibly put the two concepts on the same level.

Marriage  is an “public’ institution, something that allows civilization to go forward. Something which allows individuals to develop as human beings. It is a “natural contract” which means it something that is designed and desired by God!

Marriage has been already been weakened, by forgetting the “essence” of marriage! Marriage is a place where sexual activity is a way of expressing love and should be open to life.

So I ask you:

Would not it be better to promote family and marriage as a way of promoting a better society rather than giving a few individuals “official approval” of their activity at the high cost of destroying authentic marriage, and therefore the family which is the source of all goodness in the world?

So called “same sex marriages” are merely wrapping something perverse in a beautiful wrapping. Keep the word and the concept “marriage” as it is now, where it serves the great good of society. Please don’t wreck families and therefore society.

Sample 4:

I am writing to you to express my opposition to same sex marriage.

I believe that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. I do not support any change to the Commonwealth law that could diminish the institution of marriage and that would alter the current status of marriage.

I am committed to respect for all Australians. Same sex relationships now enjoy recent changes in superannuation, tax and social security. However, the marriage relationship is unique only to a heterosexual couple, and should always be specially recognised.

Thank you,
