"content": "Secondly, this issue of homosexuality brings about embarrassment. Think about a situation where a man marries a man! I do not know how they will get children. Is it through fostering or through other means? Children will grow to say both their parents are male, and they will not know who their mothers are. This will bring about embarrassment especially in school settings, where other children will be talking of their mothers and fathers. How will children born by two women behave in the community? It is a total embarrassment and it will affect their growth and development. Hon. Temporary Speaker, in my opinion, same sex genders sleeping together is not normal. It is a mental disorder, sexual deviation and a social disorder in this country, and those individuals should first go to a mental hospital for assessment. There will come a time when that is normalized, but this is not normal. I have seen conversations around the same on the media, school meetings, during rallies and visiting days where Hon. Members are standing in front of children discussing LGBTQ. We are already trying to inform our children that it is normal to discuss. Some are against the discussion, printing and distribution of those materials, but we cannot justify this on the basis that the Constitution provides for freedom of speech. We cannot discuss, print and distribute something that the Constitution has already prohibited. For that reason, I really oppose this and we should stop the discussion, printing and distribution of tholse materials. This should be silent so that our children will not be aware of the existence of homosexuality. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.
