Chung Yuan Christian University in Taoyuan yesterday issued a statement opposing the legalization of

same-sex marriage.

Marriage, by its holy nature, should consist of one man and one woman; one husband and one wife, adhering to “nature’s rule of ethics,” the university said in the statement.

A family put together by a father and a mother is a value that should be protected, as it forms the bedrock of family ethics, it said.

Based on the Christian doctrine of holy matrimony and “gender equality,” the university does not approve of same-sex marriage and is against amending laws governing marriage, it said.

With respect to the needs of same-sex couples, the university is in favor of formulating separate laws to protect their rights, it said.    [FULL  STORY]
