Hey, for the fact about the relationship. We're fighting for marriage!

Ladies and gentlemen,

Let me start by quoting:

Today, the government speaks to LGBT people and to couples surviving in single-sex relationships – we see you, we know you are, we want to environment you with protection and care, we want to give you safety and a sense of support, due to the fact that you live here, you live here, you choose Poland for your homeland, You want to rise children here and have families.

These words came out a fewer days ago during a press conference of the KPRM from the mouth of the minister Catherine Kotuli.

But in order to realize this statement, it is worth noting that it fell during the presentation of the draft law on the position of the nearest person, who – as the Minister praised – was just adopted by the government.

That is precisely what we have warned against for months!

Is this not a confirmation that we were right, pointing out that the adoption of any form of registration of relationships another than the formal matrimony of a female and a man will consequently lead to the eventual goal: to align LGBT couples with marriages and give them all privileges, including the right to adopt children?

At the very beginning of the government's word of office, we wrote to you, starting our newsletter with a passage of the breakfast program, in which 2 single-sex couples shared their recipe for a long-term relationship.

It's been 2 years since then.

We already observed that this was the beginning of a media run to warm the image of single-sex couples, which is connected with plans for the fresh government to push through the Law on Partnerships. This discussion on the "wedding" of 2 ladies and gentlemen was part of a long-term plan aimed at standardising single-sex marriages and gaining social approval for specified legal solutions.

Today, 2 years later, we see that the run continues and unfortunately brings results. And the Minister can now be happy to confirm that the law on the position of the closest individual concerns LGBT couples.

It would so seem that it should be clear to everyone: no, it is not simply concubines. This is not even about the "security", "support" and "care" that all cases have changed.

But it turns out that it is not obvious!

Because for speaking "coffee on the bench" about what lies behind innocently sounding "partner relationships" or "status of the nearest person", we are being mixed with mud, called names and mocked.

That is why we want to strengthen the message of the trap that the government is setting up under the appearance of the position of the closest individual and intensify the social run for the defence of marriage. We request your aid with this!

You disgust me. They would.

NO to religious fanatics.

Not for blinded by hate Rights.

I think that these fewer quotations are adequate for you to realize what I am talking about. specified comments appeared (in number of KILKUSET) under our posts on social media in which we wrote about partnerships.

The opposition to this imitation of matrimony causes an absolute rage in any Poles. And, of course, it is immediately associated with arguments derived from the Christian religion and defined by hatred.

These are the usual treatments that, in fact, we could have expected.

Today, any criticism of homosexuality (or even deficiency of appropriate approval) is called hatred, due to the fact that it is easier to attach this patch to people who express disagreement than to face up to substantive arguments.

But it's inactive worse.

You don't want partnerships, don't make them. No coercion – writes 1 of the net users.

Another commentator describes:

I've been with my partner for six years. If we formalized our relation at the office, what would truly happen? You wouldn't even notice. I besides find it hard to imagine that individual does not want to start a household due to the fact that gay people are besides allowed to get married, and this couple will not become so close to each other. I don't think that's the power of another people's decisions.

There are besides comments negating our warnings:

That's any propaganda... to get everyone to associate partnerships with homosexual unions... Really? Are you that low? It's for consecutive couples. for those who don't want to get married (because you don't gotta get married) to live happily always after... matrimony doesn't mean happy family...

First of all, no 1 wants to replace matrimony with a partnership. It's expected to be something completely different. Secondly, graphics are deliberately misleading due to the fact that this bill is not about having a child., and only about e.g. the right to inheritance, access to medical papers and the anticipation to jointly account for PiTuIs that so terrible?

A akin speech prevails from many entries: partnerships will be completely neutral to the remainder of society and in no way will it affect whether people want to marry; it is only about average concubines, about making life easier for people who do not want to get married; what adoption for homosexuals, it is only about them being able to visit hospitals!

The scale of manipulation, curses and specified ignorance in this case offends. Poles truly do not realize what matrimony is, what function it has in social order, why this community has certain circumstantial rights, and why introducing matrimony imitation into legal order is so dangerous.

And what's worse – they truly don't see what these tiny steps by the government are leading to. Or rather, they close their eyes to the facts that even the minister liable for the preparation of the bill confirms today.

The polls, which supporters of the bill boast, show how many Poles have already managed to fool. According to CBOS 2 months ago, The introduction of partnerships supports more than 60% of respondents.

Yes, I repeat, it's a scale of social momentum to self-destruction.

A fewer months ago I wrote about this, but present I would like to remind you of any facts. I think that they will explain well where our firm opposition to bringing any form of matrimony into legal order comes from.

Countries that legalise partnerships – regardless of whether indirect solutions may be the first step, which do not give full alleged matrimony equality – always follow the same path, in time reaching the granting of specified couples, including homosexual couples, all rights due to marriage, including the right to adopt children.

This was in Austria, Malta, Ireland and Estonia, France, Norway...

And we cannot have any illusions that in Poland it will happen differently. The minister liable for preparing the bill is officially speaking about this at the press conference!

However, it is inactive common to think that "it is only about visiting hospitals and jointly settling taxes." Nothing more wrong! It's about full matrimony equality, which politicians and activists admit.

Let's open our eyes!

And there will inactive be any who will mock us, ironic as 1 of the net users in the discussion under our post:

If someone's matrimony is destroyed due to the fact that there's a couple surviving under 3 in a partnership... I don't think there's anything to comment on.

And yet – let me comment.

In countries where specified solutions have already been recognised many years ago, it is clear that in this case, the saying "bad money pushes distant good" is perfect. In time, the number of married couples is decreasing. Why?

The answer is simple: Why take on greater obligations erstwhile you can easy get the same privileges without being held accountable?

But matrimony and social partnerships are not 2 equally good options.

To prove this, it is adequate to compare 2 records, 1 from the current household and Care Code, and the another from the draft Act on the position of the nearest individual and the common life. Look at this:

Article 23 Married couples have equal rights and obligations in marriage. They are obliged to live together, to aid each another and to be faithful, and to cooperate for the benefit of the household they have established through their relationship.

It's from the code. The bill states:

Article 8(1). Through the agreement, the parties undertake to respect each other, loyalty, assistance, care and cooperation for the common good.

Have you noticed what disappeared from the Act on the position of the nearest person?

Yeah, she's gone... family.

This is the core of the social function of marriage: it is simply a form of commitment of 2 spouses that they will form a family, rise children, and then make efforts for years to meet their improvement and life needs. Therefore, it is so crucial that matrimony is as permanent as possible – due to the fact that only a permanent relation between parents is the best warrant that the household will execute its functions.

The function of the state is to support the establishment of families and the sustainability of relationships, and thus to encourage citizens to make commitments that are beneficial to society as a whole.

In this equation, the state is not a good aunt who gives out laws like candy to anyone who wants to! In the meantime, the ruling organization wants this: to give privileges to those who want to avoid commitments.

This is their overarching goal, which they have been pursuing since the beginning of their word of office. Today, the work is intensifying again, although the partnerships have officially been abandoned, submitting a draft law on the position of the nearest individual under the Sejm work.

Let us not, however, let us not let ourselves be blinded by this change-- In fact, it's just an effort to smuggle almost the same records in a seemingly milder, harmless form..

Unfortunately, as I mentioned – and as you could see from these comments – the social climate is changing to our disadvantage. And frankly, I'm not surprised.

The government has immense media on its side, eagerly making propaganda tubes, gigantic scope and immense money.

An example is simply a conversation from the breakfast program I mentioned at the beginning. And what we warned against at the time – that specified a program is not an "accident at work", but a full intended strategy of warming the image and normalizing of monosexual relationships – is fulfilled as to the jota.

The media transmission is oversaturated with propaganda aimed at promoting monosexual compounds, and the government regularly bombards public opinion with further projects, hoping that 1 will yet succeed. On the another hand, the atmosphere besides heats The European Union, trying in various ways to force Poland to adopt appropriate legislation.

Unfortunately – and I say it with sadness – It is frequently in vain to search a substantive counter to this antimarital message. And the effects can be seen in discussions specified as the 1 that started under our social media entries.

Poles do not realize what matrimony is and how crucial it is to keep a well-functioning society. With the increase in divorce rates, the approval to break the marital knot besides increases, and thus the institution of matrimony loses its importance to the public.

In place of a devalued form of life, therefore, there are inexpensive substitutes in the form of partnerships, without obligations, but with rights equal to marriage.

I think you will agree with me that, in this situation, our consequence should not only be strong opposition to any legal changes that introduce specified imitations into social life. We request more here.

It is essential to remind what matrimony is, what functions it is and why the function of this community is so crucial to maintaining social order. Explanations of the increasing myths and stereotypes, a clear, substantive presentation of facts: matrimony institutions cannot be replaced by a Tomb in the form of partnerships.

As you can see, this needs to be done especially in the net space, where fact intertwins with lies and where the most fierce discussions take place. However, this case requires not only a defense, but besides a affirmative message that matrimony is not an experience, but inactive the best and most beautiful way of surviving together.

Our Facebook profile watches over 66,000 users – but in order to scope them effectively as well as gain fresh ones – we request financial support to cover promotion costs.

We besides want to make a tool that will aid to scope the public with this fact – a guide in which we will remind you of the importance of marriage, both individually and socially.

We want it to be, on the 1 hand, a position rich in substance, but on the another – accessible. This way, our guide will be more than just excellent origin of knowledgebut of a kind argument guide for usage in regular discussions.

And here we request your help: in order to actually influence the social perception of marriage, we request to scope out to a truly wide scope of recipients.

Our matrimony publication we would like make available in electronic form for anyone who wants to get to know her and usage her content. But we besides want to produce a printed version that will go to your homes and locations. It can be an excellent formation material, but it can besides be helpful in everyday discussions.

However, our plans depend on your support. This initiative entails circumstantial costs, starting with the expenditure active in writing specified a publication, followed by printing and promotion. However, these expenses are essential if we want our message of the value of matrimony to truly exceed the social narrative.

Ladies and gentlemen,

We have repeatedly observed that we have found ourselves in a time erstwhile fact can no longer defend itself. There's no way to fight media propaganda, a government driven by lobbyists' demands, or a device of influence from abroad.

This is besides what the fact about the institution of matrimony has required of us, for decades of dilapidated and depraved divorce propaganda.

Because matrimony is not just a paper. This is the beginning of a common history, the beginning of a “new way of life” that frequently leads in hard terrain, but leads in the right direction. matrimony is not only 1 of the possible, equally good options, among which we can choose as in the supermarket – I want rights, but I do not want responsibility.

Marriage is the only good base on which we can build families. This is an equation in which 1+1=3, and sometimes more. Not only does the care of a common household grow out of marital love, but above all, the desire for a real good for our spouse, extending to children who want to receive and raise, and a lasting, loving matrimony is the best environment.

That's the kind of matrimony we gotta fight for.

Because matrimony is more than a way of individual happiness.

It is simply a pillar that carries a civilizational order, and which we can cut and devastate so easily, striking it with a ram made of inexpensive substitutes.

Greetings.
