Representatives of women who support same sex marriages and those against that phenomenon squared up in a no-holds-barred panel discussion on a US radio station the other day.
Both sides clearly frothed at the mouth as the verbal combatants launched into the topic in point baring a rift between supporters of normal marriages between a man and a woman as we know it today.
The woman in favour of gay marriages claimed that the “movement” was “popular” not only with Americans but also with other people on the international scene and cited David Cameron’s own support of gay couples as evidence of the movement gaining support abroad.
She also said gay marriages were in keeping with human rights and claimed that a survey conducted revealed that more Americans supported homosexuality than those who opposed it.
On the other hand, the representative of women vehemently opposed to a man marrying another man or a woman entering a conjugal relationship with another female, charged that such relationships undermined matrimony between opposite sexes as a cornerstone of family life that protected the rights of children.
She said any claim that Americans gave the thumbs-up to gay marriages was erroneous and that if, indeed, more people favoured same sex marriages, that depended on how questions were asked and not on voluntary support as such.
The women supporting homosexuality further claimed that any opposition to that practice was based on religious grounds only while their opponents claimed that this year being a presidential election year in America, President Obama was playing politics with his endorsement of same sex marriages to get more votes.
Their opponents noted that Republican party presidential candidate Mitt Romney in the November elections had declared his opposition to gay marriages, suggesting that not all Americans were in favour of that shameful practice.
In addition to the British Prime Minister, Malawi’s new President Joyce Banda is turning her country into a safe haven for people with inverted sex, contrary to the stand taken by her predecessor, the late Bingu wa Mutharika, who had declared his total opposition to homosexual relationships in his country.
Surely, in the absence of other countries declaring their openness to gay marriages, Cameron and Banda are two swallows that do not necessarily make an international summer even though the British premier now says support of people with unnatural sexual instincts will be a condition for aid being given to their countries.
In Zimbabwe, President Mugabe has stood out among African leaders as a staunch opponent of homosexual practices with a few church leaders also declaring their opposition to same sex marriages as unnatural and ungodly.
Representatives of non-governmental women’s organisations reached by this pen for comment in Harare pretended to be foggy about the furore over homosexuality in America and said they had not “engaged” their constituencies on the matter.
But even more surprising was their “unawareness” of any challenges concerning homosexuality in this country.
And as recently as last year MDC-T was accused by Copac of trying to smuggle the issue of gay rights into the new constitution of Zimbabwe that is yet to be completed.
But their tit-bit remarks suggested that the women representing non-governmental organisations did not want to “compromise” themselves vis a vis the donor funding they receive by making any bold comments about countries in the West whose societies are riven by the scourge of homosexuality culminating in same sex-marriages.
In the final analysis, homosexual relationships denote a vicious campaign by Satan to taint the sanctity of a union between a man and a woman as ordained by our Maker Himself.
For it was God who decided at the time of human creation that Adam needed a wife, God who formed Eve and presented her to Adam, and He who decided what kind of relationship the couple consummated.
That being the case, therefore, homosexuality might decide who the next president of the United States will be, with, in the meantime, the devil keeping his fingers crossed and hoping that his side triumphs.
And – who knows — the effects of the rumpus over gay marriages on the forthcoming elections in America could set a precedent for other countries where homosexuality is rearing its ugly head with impunity.
