Survey Summary


In this question, 57.89% of people are aware that a ward in Tokyo established a domestic partner regulation. On the other hand, 42.11% of people aren't.
This means more than half people recognize but this is not major.
 In this question, 64.71% of people answered that  both a mother and a father are needed to raise babies.
 Reasons

・Because I think raising children by both of a mother and a father creates a good relationship as family.
・Because declining birthrate has been a problem.


Mother and father have role each other.




If a child's parents are same sex, he or she will be confused.

On the other hand, 35.29% of people don't think so.

reasons
・Because there are many single mothers and fathers.

・Because there are many children raised happily with a single parent.
・It's more important for the children to be loved by parents.

Lastly, we ask people that"Do you support same-sex marriage?"
We introduce some answers.
Agree. It's their freedom to get married with who they want to.
・Yes I support their marriage because it is a right of everyone to love someone you love. It's natural to marry with him/her if they love each other even if they are same-sex.
・I support same sex marriage. I have seen a child who has two mothers instead of father and she was really nice girl. 

After all, most people accept same-sex marriage!

Feedback

Good Point

Many people referred to our power point and video. Both were good. We guess that they said so because we used some “animation” in power point and tried to make classmates be interested in. Moreover, we could state our NGO’s stance, goal, strategy and activity clearly.

 

Bad Point

Many people pointed out that we didn’t go the extra mile to promote our NGO by creating a website, social networking site, or mailing list. Moreover, we couldn’t be confident with our presentation and we did presentation in a small voice. Next semester, we want to try better.

We regarded this site as a bad site. Firstly, we can't trust these information because we can't define who wrote these. Everyone can post and see. Secondly, it's rarely renewed. So, there may be old information. We need latest information.
http://www.ncsl.org/research/human-services/same-sex-marriage-laws.aspx

We regard this site as a good site for our research for these three reason.
First, it has 'org' in the URL, and which means that the owner of this site is not a normal people but a big organization.
Second, it has a lot of resources and contact information on the bottom of the site.
Finally, the copyright of this site is made in 2015, so it gives us the latest information.

Agreement

    I am a lesbian and I have a girlfriend who I really want to marry. Now we are live together in Yokohama. In Yokohama, marriage between the same sex is prohibited, because the law of this country don't admit same sex marriage, and there are no exception in here.  

    I often take part in parade for us, sexual minority, so I and my partner have a lot of friends who are also bothered by their sexuality. Not all, but many of them have partner like us, live together, and hope to marry. But we can't because of the rule of Japan. 

    However, in this May, Shibuya made regulation for sexual minority to be able to make partnership with their lovers. It is not marriage, but it is big progress for us. In this partnership regulation, we have to pay some money to make certification for it, and it is not enough compering to system for heterosexual marriage. But it is true that we really longer for such a rule. It was a big news between us, and a gay couple of my friend in Shibuya came true to become partner legally.

    But then, I and my partner live outside of Shibuya can't make partnership. Why is there a big gap between us, even we are all Japanese? It is not easy for us to move to Shibuya immediately and if we move there, maybe we lose something that we are receiving in here as a member of Yokohama city. It is very different where we live for us, like this regulation for same sex partnership.

    We really envy those who fortunately have been living in Shibuya. Making such rules from small region will make it possible for large area to be spread them. But until when we have to wait for them?

disagreement


 I don’t agree to same-sex marriage. There are many reasons why I think so.

 

Firstly, they can’t have a baby. Recently, the number of children has been decreasing and it’s becoming a problem. This problem has been discussed in many situations and from many angles. For example, we will be lack of the workforce in the near future. And when we get older, it will have been more and more difficult for young generations to support older generations. There won’t be enough pensions which will be paid for the aged people. What is more, if same-sex marriage is accepted legally, this problem will be more serious.

 

Secondly, even if they can have a baby by using a foster care system or adoption, they have either motherhood or paternity. When you rear babies, both of them may be necessary. Motherhood will accept and admit the baby faithfully and give the baby absolute relief. On the other hand, paternity has a power of teaching the baby rules or manners. They teach good and wrong with making a clear distinction. Babies grow and shape their characters by balanced receiving both motherhood and paternity.

 

Thirdly, in Christianity, same-sex marriage can’t be allowed because it goes against spontaneous providence. Moreover, same-sex marriage can be seen as a sexual deviation and a religious sin. Marriage is regarded as a sacrament which is one of the graces of God. Then in Christianity or in church, same-sex marriage is regarded as taboo.

 

And it’s said that same-sex marriage means the essentials of life are changed by human. It is also said that marriage is for man and woman, not for man and man or woman and woman.

 

In conclusion, when I consider future generations, child care of same sexualities and religious views, I can’t agree to same-sex marriage.
