Queen Ure on same-sex union

FOLLOWING the ruling of the United State’s Supreme Court legalising same-sex marriage, the discourse about its legality or otherwise has been on. However, Nigerian songstress, Ure Okezie, aka Queen Ure, has a different train of thought on the issue.

Taking to her Facebook page, the artiste argued that one way or the other, we have all contributed to making the world what it is today. In her words, parents are the architects of the society as their kids want to emulate their actions.

In that light, the rising incidences of divorce, broken relationships and unhappy marriages have led to the collapse of marriages.

“There can never be a vacuum in nature. When the real deal fails, something must replace it. Slowly and gradually, for decades, people were choosing differently from what God designed but with this complete devaluing of the proper marriage, gayism came to the fore,” she wrote.

However, she said, “it will still fail because it is unnatural. Life must have the ying and the yang, the masculinity and the ‘feminity’ so it is a failure already but if we must change the fast growing perversion, we must endeavour to honour the marriage institution.”

The divorced singer rounds off her post by calling on married men to love their wives and treat them right.

“Your kids are watching, your nieces and nephews are watching. If the divorce rate continues the way it’s going, the next generation will do abominable things. In your own little corner, be the light, show the way, let those around you appreciate marriage because of you. A fulfilled wife speaks volumes, a truly happily married man speaks volumes,” she concludes
