In question 2 out of 10 respondents, 60% of the respondents agree that same-sex marriage is

same-sex marriage is still prohibited in our country.

between one man and one woman.

In question 4 out of 10 respondents, 60% of the respondents agree that marriage is for men and
women. The institution of marriage as a union of a man and women, uniquely involving the procreation and
learning of children within a family, is as old as the book of Genesrs (Baker V. Nelson,

In above all respondents answer majority say that same-sex marriage shouldn’t be legalized in the
Philippines, because it will lose the original meaning of marriage. There were things that we cannot
immediately push through; sometimes we just need to wait until the process is done.

● SOP 1: What are the positive and negative views of society in terms of religious and constitutional
issues about marriage equality in the Philippines?
- The positive effect is people are aware that they existed and a lot of people giving them the
equality that they deserve while the negative effects is that our constitutional, religious beliefs
are getting against

 SOP 2: Does LGBTQIA+ couples make a good parent?

- Yes, throughout the world, same-sex couples form and build long-lasting families. Many same
sex couples have children, some couples and individuals have used assisted reproduction in
order to conceive a child. Other LGBTQ+ people are raising children from previous opposite-sex
relationship on their own or with their new partners. As people become more educated and
society’s attitudes continue to change, adoption of children by LGBTQ+ couples is becoming
more common.(Litchman, Owen, Sasse, 2019)

 SOP3: Is there any significant relationship between religious beliefs, constitutional issues and
society's perspective?
- Yes, there is significant relationship between religious beliefs, constitutional issues and society's
perspective.

 SOP4: What recommendation would be used based on the findings?

- Humanity need to view that same sex marriage is not impure to our morals instead we need to
see this as pure freedom of expression between a person. If we society consider same sex
marriage maybe it will help us every individual to unite and build a powerful future for the next
generations.
