I saw this statement on a Chinese platform one day, “Two lesbians can have four children if they are married to two men by following the marriage law, but if a gay marriage were to be legal, then there would be no possibility of them having any children; therefore, it is constitutional that same-sex marriage is illegal because it can prevent the decrease of fertility rate in a country.”
Would you agree with this view by any sense? In my opinion drawn from facts and reasonings, these are the circumstances with these cases happening in China these days:
1. A lesbian is forced to marry and have a children with a straight man under social pressure.
On the outside, this case seems to align with China’s demand of “fertility level”, but let us think for a moment. Is this not encouraging marriage fraud? Will such a family be happy? Does this concept fit in with morality and law?
2. Two gay couples (one female and one male) are married for many reasons.
First of all, it is very difficult to form such a marriage because most will not go farther enough unless facing extreme pressures. Secondly, it is still in question whether this type of marriage will produce children because both partners are more than likely to be abstinent. Moreover, if a lesbian were to have sex with a gay, it is considered to be a malformed sexual behavior, despite its apparent conforming and following of the so-called “societal fertility demand” in China. This is not to mention the countless undesirable outcomes of this type of marriage.
3. Two lesbians choose not to get married and instead choose to just accompany each other as “friends”. People in marriages without legal protection generally find it harder to want children, defying again the claim of “decreasing fertility rates.”
4. Two lesbians break up, but they do not marry though still engage in homosexuality. This makes it harder to have children.
The initial point of view is based on the fact that homosexuality can be “straightened” or “corrected”, and it often includes the brainwashing of how “disgusting” gay marriage is coupled with social oppression.
Furthermore, “straightening” a homosexual means the same thing as “bending” a straight person. Have you ever thought about how ridiculous that sounds? Have you thought about how painful it must be for one to be straightened when one does not identify with that title? Think about how hard it would be to make yourself like the same sex or forced into a same-sex marriage? Are you willing to let others do this to you? Two homosexuals should be legally allowed to marry. They deserve the same type of right as the counter.
Not only do heterosexuals want children, but also do some homosexuals without being looked upon as “disgusting.” However, homosexuals could not be legally married in China and still are afraid to kiss in public or appear on public platforms. They have dispersed their attention so much on confronting social pressure and family oppression that the intention for them to have children will only be counterproductive at the end because they will have even less energy to have children (adoption or by other means). After all, two loved couples can’t be together simply because of their genders.
