hades! how does gay marriege have anything to do with responsibility? i know several gay couples, and one that has adopted 3 kids. they are hard working responsible people just like anyone else. there relationships are "institutional" just like any other marriage. it is sad to see that in this country, civil rights are STILL an issue. man!

lets take a gay couple for example. lets say they adopt a girl. that girl one day has her first period. being that she only has male parents there wont be anyone close to her that knows what she is going through. noone that can truly understand her. sure a gynaecologist could but its not the same as talking about it with her mom is it? and thats just one example there are numerous others.


One of her fathers could be a gynaecologist. *or* if they are 2 men, and assuming they have a brain, might adopt a *son*. ::MUTUAL GASP::.

I was told as a child by many people i considerd smart and educated that sitting close to the TV would ruin my eyes. I then asked my optomologist, optometrist, and optician and they all had the same response: it's a myth.


thats funny. my eyes deteriorated from +1.0 to -1.1 because of watching tv very closely when I was a kid. (or so my eyedoctors said. yep not one)
damn I never knew my eye-glasses were just a myth


Well, your professional doctors told you what they did. My professional doctors told me what they did.

So whose right?

My point still stands. I had a concept underneath the example. u tried to discount the example. Assuming u had discounted the example, u have still the concept to discout.

Terrou, Simple Question: Do you think a kid would be more likely to turn out homosexual if his parents were straight or gay?


considering how many people have "turned out" to be gay who were from straight parents, this is a silly question. it also implies, that turning out to be gay is wrong. who cares if they turn out to be gay? as a parent, my job has nothing to do with my childrens sexual orientation, i dont see why gay parents would be any differant.

u speak of reality?

When things go good, its gods gift to man. If things go bad, its mans own fault and sin. right, thats really balanced. Really 'real'.

Oh well, this is (hopefully) my last response to you. Go worship ur magic man on a cloud.


because balance between good and evil is very real a bit naive there are we?

btw applause for you keeping it cool again


If the only flaw u can find in my arguement is that im losing my cool, than u have lost the arguement.

im 18, and a victim of much hate. Im young, and struggling to understand why so many people can hate me without ever even knowing my name. They hate me because i am different, and for no other reason.

I would argue that i am not losing my cool. I retaliate with agression and precision. The moment i lose my cool is when logic goes out the window, and mindless flaming takes place.

Ok, i did lose my cool in a few posts, forgive my homosexual inferiority, i will try to work on it . (note the space-period)

Since every single homosexual i know came from heterosexual parents, i would say it has no fucking effect at all.

Whats wrong with gay couples adopting kids?


My reasoning being, first off I don't think I could survive so I can't say im ok with someone else going through it, but than again I am already raised a certain way which makes it seem to awkward. Secondly although there are 2 parents its as if the child only receives parenting from one parent in this case only one sex. How is that bad for the child you ask, well just look at men and women, both different on the mental and physical surfaces, so only being subjected to one sex they are deprieved of what the other sex may have to offer in the form of parenting such as insight or the sheer presence. I don't think the 2 same sex parents would be bad for them but rather the child would be missing out on something. I mean take a look at single parents, I mean its possible but is it really what you would want for a child. And please no hypotheticals such as what if the child were raised in a abusive home, because the arguement can be easily reversed.


in the form of insight and sheer presence? Yeah, thats true. And a professor of philosophy and a professor of physics will by far be able to provide more insight than a garbage man and a welfare mom.

No, you have me mistaken, What I ment was, can 2 males provide more insight on their female counterpart than a female can?

Ur right, if i raise a son, i will raise him to be just like me.

He will be tolerant, understanding, responsible, educated, honest, compassionate, and most importantly, he will be accepted for whatever fucking seuxality he is.

What do u mean by female counterpart? Tell me what a male lacks in teaching his male son, that he cant possibly provide that a female can.

And then tell me if every single women in the world has the ability to provide that.

And then tell me that that reason is enough to not allow fags to have children.

interesting.



but im not saying its a rule, im saying its a big possibility, if they pick sometimes on random targets imagine having such a "tail"...

I only know that i'd really wouldnt want to be a child raised by homosexuals.


Why? would you be ashamed of your parents? If you would, thats sad.


Having two parents of the same sex is not as optimal as having two parents of different sex. Combine that with the point that you'll get teased and it will have a lifetime effect on you, that its not widely accepted, and looked at as gross - makes me perfectly understand why he would say such a thing.

And about sad, your average parents take kids to stuff together, and kiss there for example. Imagine a person under 16 with their two male parents out, and they kiss? You'd feel really awkward, and would be ashamed. That's just the way society and the evolution of a person works in most cases?


yes, I guess it would be up to the wisdom of the gay couple to decide if they should kiss in public eh? I'm not saying gay marriage couples wouldn't have a lot more rescrictions about raising there kids, but like I said, it sure beats kids growing up without ANY parents.

People get teased for pretty much everything that people can target. Although I'm not saying its right to use this as an excuse, but a lot of kids are teased for many reasons and are able to shrug it off and they turn out fine.

I think as long as the kid doesn't wear a shirt that says 'GAY PRIDE' in junior high - it really wouldn't be as big of an issue as you make it out to be.


Well hell some kids go nuts (columbine) And they probably had straight parents, now imagine what a child would go through in our society today if his parents were gay and not to mention every gay couple won't be spectacular parents. Personally the teen suicide rate will go up because those kids will not be ready for the society we live in today.


"personally the teen suicide rate will go up". Personally? As in your person? As in ur own suicide rate will go up? Or do u mean 'personally, i think'.

Well, sir, what u 'personally think' is flawed. U say that my kid will not be ready for society because i am gay. I argue that my kid will be more equipped to handle society *because* i am gay. I will teach him that people will blindly hate, and that u must defend yourself against such people, but not hate them. I will teach that there are people who surf forums and talk out of their ass without using their brain, but that you can ignore these people. I will teach that u can be stronger than any hate directed towards you, and that u will be better for it.

You condemn me for the effects that my sexuality will have on my kid. i condemn you for encouraging those effects by perceiving them in the first place.


I have not condemn you, alot or our society has though, I am being a realist, and if you were too than you would understand that not every gay couple wanting children will not raise them the same way as you. Not all gay couples will be great parents, because ::Gasp:: they are human and that makes them fallible, So what happens to the child living with the not so great gay parents growing up in the society we live in? Do I promote the society we live in, No, but I do acknowledge it is what it is.

Once again you set yourself as some gay icon, not every gay person will be as you, what if the situation describes happens, what than? the child is basically lacking a mother, the only way she would get any insight is if she had a female friend as to whom she trusts and that's where I pity the child for being in the situation they had no choice being in.

i hate to break it to you, but many straight parents are horrible parents, and dont provide any meaningful perspective of any kind. so is it necessary to some kind of good parenting licsence? two adults who are activly seeking children and who have planed on parenthood are going to be far better parents than the average young couple who forgot to where a condom one drunken night. if the only real issue is the quality of parenting and the perspective that a parent can offer a child, than the issue is a far greater one than that of just gay couples.

Women are different from men, a man can never provide an education a woman can and viceversa...

but even so, i dont think that is a strong argument against gay adoption.


Ill repeat it, its not fair using this childs as battery rams against the world societ to open up their minds.

You also forget to take society into account, We can't magically change society in one day and as I said it is what it is, So you are more fortunate to be living with good heterosexual parents than with 2 homosexual parents, because the child will not be lacking of wisdom from either sex and they won't be singled out and attacked for having grown up with gay parents, its needless suffering that no matter how hard you try you can't prevent. I mean take a look at black people today I mean conditions have certainly improved since the 1950's but I have yet to meet one black person who hasn't been victimized by racism in one form or another.
