In many major religions, same-sex marriage has been forbidden and illegal. Additionally, in many countries across the world such as ….. Same-sex relationships and marriages are viewed as unnatural and against God's views, Canada is one of the first countries that allow same-sex relationships and same-sex marriages which opened up a portal for many social justice advocates and organizations to try and get countries across the world to follow in their steps. The three major religions Christianity, Islam and Judaism are against homosexuality and in turn disapprove of same-sex relationships and marriages
Throughout the history of Christianity as a major viewed religion in the bible, there is mention of Sodom and Gomorrah a city where homosexuals were perceived as unnatural and against God's wishes so in turn God burned down the city to punish those who committed homosexual acts which was deemed as a sin. Although it is talked about in the bible about not being natural and that it should be men and women. Certain denominations accept it with full arms open because in the bible it says we shouldn't judge on another. Others believe it’s just an agenda homosexuals are pushing.
Islam is very similar to Christianity when it comes to its views on same-sex marriage or relationships. They’re not accepted.
Similarly to Christianity, homosexuality has been viewed as an abnormality and can be capitally punished under the Torah. Many orthodox jews of course go by the first testament and they follow all of God’s many commands one being having relations in modern terms with the same sex is deemed ungodly and is frowned upon.
In Canada, because we have so many rights and because we legalized same-sex marriage I believe it makes us a great country. We’re able to protect a group of people that used to be scared to be who they are. Because we’re so open, we’re able to save a lot of people who have to seek refugee because of whom they love. And for that, I’m truly proud to be Canadian. In countries like Saudi Arabia, two men cannot be caught holding hands in public or showing any type of affection towards each other on a romantic level. But in Canada, it is perfectly normal to see two men or two women walking the street romantically showing affection.
In conclusion, same-sex marriage has come a long way and will continue to progress. I don't believe the three religions will ever fully accept it, just because it’s written that it is wrong and it’s in their sacred texts.
