Gay marriages uncovered in Kuwait

DUBAI - Two gay marriages have allegedly been conducted in Kuwait, local daily Arab Times reported on Saturday, citing an article in Arabic daily Al-Seyassah.

The marriages were between two Kuwaiti men in Salmiya and two women in Kheitan, the newspaper reported.

The ceremonies were conducted at traditional wedding venues, but both couples had strict security measures in place to stop unwanted guests entering the venues, the paper said.

Homosexuality is illegal in Kuwait.

Homosexuals want government recognized same-sex marriage because of tax benefits and medical benefits, etc… offered through a job for a “spouse”. Those of us who believe in either the Torah, the Injil, or the Koran agree unequivocally that it is destructive and sinful, but many homosexuals justify their relationships as acceptable to God. It is useless to debate this topic solely on the basis of religion, because we can not force religion on another and it be honestly accepted in the person’s heart. However, the facts are out there that a homosexual lifestyle is not healthy and for that reason alone it should not be supported by any government. However, the greatest reason those of us who are opposed to government approved same-sex marriage should set aside our geographical and religious differences and join hands peaceably and compassionately against this is because once same-sex marriages are approved by a government, then homosexuals will have the right to adopt children.

How about do some research on human sexuality? Homosexuality as much as heterosexuality existed since the existence of living beings. That's right, insects, mammals, humans - you name it. It's not an exclusive western "concept" as you coined it. There are far worse thing that could shock you than just gay sex - practiced by heterosexuals and religious people alike.

Well, bringing Palestine or Afghanistan represents the true picture of western countries' double standard. Truth always hurts. Doesn't it?
