MORAL REALISM AND SAME SEX MARRIAGE DEBATE

Abstract

This paper reflects on the obnoxious act creeping into the world today and gaining more grounds. This obnoxious practice is called same sex marriage. Conscious of the fact that there are always mind-independent moral facts in the world, and people can make statements about them which are true or false, it will never negate the fact that procreation is natural and sacred and must not be ridiculed. This paper stands against the immoral act called same sex marriage noting that the two major aims of marriage which are companionship and procreation are lacking in it. It also noted that from the ethical standpoint of the moral realist, that same sex marriage is intolerable and as such is both morally and logically unacceptable. It violates the natural order of life. The paper uses expository and historical method to communicate its findings. Having found out that same sex marriage is not beneficial to man in any way, it recommends outright abolishment of it, since there is nothing beneficial about it.
