Kate Playground Topless
Part IV.
temporarily detour I
the subject of the origins of homophobia to comment on the subject of marriage between same-sex couples in Puerto Rico.
FOR NOW, Puerto Rico, the state does not recognize and therefore does not issue marriage licenses to couples of the same genus because the Puerto Rican legislature has not passed any law that recognizes marriage between persons of the same gender for fear of losing the votes of people who are predominantly homophobic because of the cultural heritage of traditional religion which maintains its position that the practice of homosexuality is a sin .
However, wedding ceremonies between members of the same gender can not prohibit anyone in Puerto Rico.
If a same-sex couples would not want outsiders trying to interfere in important decisions of their life together in the event of serious illness and death if they can sign a legal document in which mutual heirs and representatives declare mutual if any of them can not use for yourself physically and mentally.
have been cases where a family member of a same gender couple who died are left with all incleyendo the house and money in bank accounts, leaving the widowed partner @ in the street.
gay marriages already are a reality in Spain, Holland and other European Union nations are the countries with the highest levels of quality of life on the planet even better than in the United States.
Although the vast majority of people in Puerto Rico are still sexist and homophobic mentality, there is a growing sector of our country that has been illuminating with respect to the human rights of the GLBT community through new scientific information related to homosexuality and seeing social events in other countries and that is the lighted sector must educate others so that the day comes that Puerto Rico will join the other civilized countries and leaves behind his collective mentality savage homophobic share some Third World countries ruled by theocracies homophobic.
When Spain legalized marriage between same-sex couples, the Ayatollahs yard Christians rioted and began to climb into account stage, radio and television forum and pulpit had at its disposal to spew their venom laden with homophobic hate the four points cardinal of all creation on God's original intentions have created male and female beings and the need to protect the institution of the family against the dangers of legalizing gay marriage ..
Little did these fools believe that experts in the interpretation of sacred texts without knowing how to read, write and speak the original languages \u200b\u200bof the Bible that gay marriage rites in the Christian church are nothing new.
Ironically, the words that are often part of religious ceremonies of marriage between a man and a woman are drawn from the Bible and were said by one woman to another woman. Lean
Ruth 1: 16-17: "... Do not urge me to leave you or me except you, because wherever you go I will go, and where you lodge, I will live. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there will be buried. It makes me Lord and I still add that only the death part you and I ... "
According epigraphic evidence: The Old Churches
Gay married
The "link" cyber http://www.geocities.com/pharsea/tradition.html # more% 20in% 20spirit% 20in% 20than% 20flesh provides original English translation of an ancient Greek Orthodox Church rite of the 13 th century to the union of a same-genre known as the text of Sinai 966 (my translation from English):
"SINAI 966" [XIII Century: Greig]
Those intending to be joined come before the priest. Lay his hand on the gospel and the second on the first hand.
Lord our God and ruler who commissioned the union of the holy martyrs Serge and Bacchus: concedles to these your servants grace to love each other and share without hate and not be cause of scandal all the days of their lives.
Concedles fidelity without shame, true love.
now Accept these your servants N and N to be united in spirit and faith to flourish in virtue and justice and love sincere.
them be joined together more in spirit than in the flesh. And they shall kiss the Holy Gospel and each other and will be closed.
This liturgy is particularly important for his sentence to two men are united "more in spirit than in the flesh." ... This request is exactly what one would expect if the liturgy was a celebration sexual union among Christians, for whom physical union
important spiritual union But still ... "
