They say that children adopted by two people of the same sex are very happy. A child may be for a couple of years but when the child reaches the age of reason, when he grows up and becomes young adult, how tragic it will be for him to let his friends know that his "parents" are two women or two men?

Marriage has to be presented as something precious, something that will help bring happiness and fulfillment to a person, as couples undertake a life-long project of mutual, exclusive, total, irrevocable and sincere self-giving. The fact that families and youth are oftentimes misinformed and given false security should not be tolerated any longer. There is no such thing then as a 100% protection from HIV/AIDS or other STD's through condom use today. This data should not remain unnoticed, since many users, including youth, think that the condom provides total protection.
