Poland’s push for homosexual ‘unions’ will erode marriage and the family– www.lifesitenews.com

STORY-AT-A-GLANCE

1. The proposal to institutionalize informal relationships in Poland would not solve any real social problem – all the necessary legal instruments for such relationships already exist.
2. In Western countries, interest in same-sex civil partnerships is extremely low, which proves that it does not stem from a genuine social need but from an ideological agenda.
3. Granting unmarried couples marital privileges constitutes an injustice toward married couples who raise children and bear the social costs of procreation.
4. The goal of the draft bill announced by the governing coalition is not so much “protecting relationships” as the weakening and relativization of the institutions of marriage and the family.
5. Introducing an alternative to marriage leads to a further decline in the birth rate and a blurring of the concept of the family.
6. This is only the first step toward granting same-sex couples the right to adopt children, and then toward recognizing all forms of cohabitation, including “multi-parent” families, where a child may have, for example, three “fathers.”
