Videos Tackle Issue of 'Gay Marriage'
by AFA Journal
December 8, 2006
(AgapePress) - - Two videos take different approaches to the controversial subject of same-sex "marriage" -- and both hit a home run.
Focus on the Family's Ten Persuasive Answers to the Question: Why Not Gay Marriage? features Glenn T. Stanton, a veteran of the culture wars and Focus' senior research analyst for marriage and sexuality.
The video is a nuts-and-bolts approach to the issue, providing the viewer with well-reasoned responses to the sometimes thorny arguments raised by homosexual activists in support of homosexual marriage. Presented in a lecture format, the DVD version is organized to allow viewers access to any of the 10 issues discussed.
Clear and concise, Why Not Gay Marriage? also includes most of Stanton's arguments in an accompanying booklet, providing Christians with an important resource in the ongoing cultural debate.
C-38: The Search for Marriage is a less clinical approach to the subject and gives equal time to the passionate voices to be heard on both sides of the same-sex marriage debate.
Canada legalized homosexual marriage in June 2005 with the passage of Bill C-38, and this compelling DVD tracks the various arguments via interviews with experts as well as man-on-the-street interviews.
Well-balanced, C-38: The Search for Marriage makes for riveting viewing. It covers all the hot-button topics that define the same-sex marriage debate, such as the importance of marriage, gender roles, and the demands of equality as well as religious freedom.
Why Not Gay Marriage? is available through the online resources websites of Focus on the Family and the American Family Association, at AFA's Online Products website, while C-38: The Search for Marriage can be purchased at C38themovie.com.
