1. The union between same sex

- Mr. President:
The truth is that homosexuals can marry. They can also go to college, get the driver's license, shopping in a supermarket, access to public office and all kinds of things that one can think of.
But to do any of these things, must meet the relevant requirements: to go to college have to sign up to get the card to take the exam, to make purchases must be paid and to get married, do it with someone the opposite sex. Can not be expected under the pretext of discrimination, the nature of things (other separate discussion will be whether homosexual behavior is natural or not).
Those in favor of "marriage" between homosexuals, believe that only being recognized rights, without harming anyone. But with that argument, masons require the right to be architects, students will be approved and men to join women's associations [2] . is not a question of recognizing rights for nothing.
Marriage is the or opinions of men and women agreed with certain rituals and formalities legal . Beyond what the dictionary says, heterosexuality of the parties is definitional: without it there can be no marriage.
Everyone can live with anyone, but not all unions are a marriage. If one wants to live with three women and a dog, you can, but you can not pretend to marry them. It is valid to coexist with a same sex, and there are even ways to register their union, but marriage is something else.
However, it is an institution incompatible with what they want. Just as Boca and River. Yes, as well.
From the fact that today to approve the modification discussed in the Congress of the Nation (replaced by "spouses" the words "man and woman" in the Civil Code), may derive a waterfall negative consequences:
- If a man has the right to marry another man and a woman to do so with another woman, how can we deny the same right to two brothers? Or a father with his daughter? Or a man with his dog? The term "contracting" means "get" ... it seems too wide ... at least in Spain says "spouses", but also agree with the solution you have there,
- If two cohabitants of the same sex can marry mainly to enjoy the benefits that marriage seems to have (paradoxically, homosexuals are the only ones who want to marry), what prevents two elderly women who live together (and are not a couple in the emotional sense of the word) or three students who share an apartment enjoy the same benefits ?;
- In schools should explain that it is a natural situation, it is good to have two dads or two moms, with the risk suggest that everyone should experiment and determine sexual orientation want to have;
marriage can not exist - without changing its essence, is becoming something else - be extended beyond two limits very clear: (1) two and (2) of the opposite sex.
However, I think it is necessary a figure that includes the case of spouses of the same sex. No matter discrimination claim two separate offenses, but what happens is that they are different things.
In the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires governing "civil unions", which enables access to social work, get a loan together and receive state pensions. In this union there is no marital property, or any kind of community of property, and to dissolve, only to notify the other party ... none of the cumbersome procedures that demand a contested divorce (the only way to dissolve the marriage).
What should aim for is a similar institution, probably the most studied (allowing the claim of moral damage for example), but they are many heterosexuals who if given the choice, would prefer the scheme before the marriage .
2. homoparentality
Reasonably, the issue of adoption by homosexual couples (note that otherwise can not have children), has generated a major point of controversy.
is that when children are involved, any discussion of this type is loaded with the highest ethical voltage (thankfully), which should always be sought as famous interests child .
has been reported that the marriage is not a license to have sex, or for benefits or to be socially recognized, it is a license to have children [3] . Has an important social function.
is a reality (rather than arbitrary on them in spite of many) that the only natural method of having children, is in a heterosexual relationship. There is another possibility to "create" (breed: propagate the species itself) new individuals, at least naturally (also deserves a separate discussion item fertilization in vitro , although in this case the child may be one of only two).
complementary sexual organs of man and woman were created for the reproduction of the species. The result is that anyone can be a child of two men or two women.
Notes sharply Diana Cohen Agrest that:
" If the human order, social and symbolic gives individuals a double descent, male and female, not the feelings that can link parents with each other or by the desires that animate or pleasure produced, is due to the gendered condition of human existence and the heterogeneity of a race whose culture has sought to preserve the model " [4]
should also consider called right to know the origins [5] , which is foreseen by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), so in Argentina has constitutional standing.
probably a homosexual can be a good parent, but can not in any way, neither he nor his partner may be a good mother. When children are raised in this way are denied the sexual difference, and there are many opportunities to grow with big questions about their sexual identity [6] .
The truth is that today there are many children adopted by gay couples ... they can take. What they do is arrange the adoption by one only of the "fathers" and live with the two (the Civil Code only accepts the plurality of adopters in the case of marriage, with some requirements.)
However, even though in practice there are some cases should not be allowed to get used to this and other general types of families. In real life case that new family forms (assembled, single parents, etc. homo.) Increase in exorbitant amounts. It is true, but it is not healthy for a society reach a point of habituation as to distort the founding institutions and essential, just because there are some cases of alignment. Would be tantamount to legalizing the use of weapons because a large group of people use them, regardless of the ends.
As previously stated, no support the initiative amending the Civil Code. Voting in the negative. Thank you very much Mr. Chairman. -
