A child can have two mothers, but I was just reponding about the two fathers. There's nothing wrong with having two of the same sexes for a parent. Regarding that the parents give love and support for the child(ren).

Peace,

Also, to add something to what you were saying. A single mother can raise a child on her own, why not let the child have two mothers?

There are hundreds and thousands of children around the world who is up for adoption, so gay and les shouldn't be punished for adopting a child. If you have saw Two and a half men, it shows in that movie/series that two men can actually raise a child, by themselves.

I would also love to see that, because sexual orientation shouldn't have an effect of raising a child. A single father could raise a child on his own, why can't the child have two fathers?

I have to agree with iamastar.

Sexual orientation should have nothing to do with raising a child. And besides, i would love to see proof on how a straight couple would raise a child better than a homosexual couple.

And besides, a child could possibly be saved.


So why not?

Raising a child shouldn't be about the sexual orientation of the parents. Being gay never hurt anyone, not even a child. In fact, I think that by being raised by gay parents could help a child, not hinder them.

There is no proof that homosecuals are not capable of being better parents than a straight couple. I was previously reading an aritical in "Teen People" and it was about a girl who was expelled from her school because she had two moms. Please tell me why this young girl should be punished for a parents desision? What does it matter? Things like that really make me wonder.

or maybe you could, like not outlaw the marraige.

try that.

Heh, maybe just outlaw their marriage. That might hurt worse. Or even better, re-write the Bible the cool way and tell them it came straight from God.

good point, yogore. but a good way to voice your disagreement would be to send them an email telling them exactly how you feel. personally, i would like to spoon out each and every one of there eyes, pop them in a blender, and press the puree button. thats just me though.

Don't visit godhatesfags.com etc. That only boosts their counter and makes them think that people agree with them.

ps: those people who made that website can bite me

okay, whoever voted that it is wrong, please explain to me how straight people can raise a child any better than gay people. there is no difference between the two. last year, some stupid rednecks came to my town, mytown, to protest gays. tell me if you agree with them

real nice people

I don't see why not.

If there willing to adopt a needy child,

Let Them!

If both parents are willing and stable (both financially and emotionally) then yeah why not let a same sex couple adopt a child? As someone already said, there are many kids who truly need homes. Gay/Lesbian couples are really no different from straight . . . well sort of (lol). As long as the child their adopting is put first then nothing else really matters.

As long as the homossexual couple dose not do sexual acts around the children and raise them right, there is no problem.

thats a bit prejudicial, dont you think? NO one should be performing sexual acts around their children, becasue it is not appropriate regardless of their sexuak orientation. however, it is not also not fair to say that gay couples should have to refrain from any sign of affection when their kids ar around. it is perfectly fine for kids to see mommy and daddy (or mom and mom/dad and dad) hugging and expressing affection in normal ways.

no its not bad and i too think that any home is a home. Kids who need a home wouldn't complain as long as they get a home. As long as the homossexual couple dose not do sexual acts around the children and raise them right, there is no problem.

well, I must admit, I can't speak for all homosexuals. I have been openly gay for years now, and I do not feel any different inner desires than those of heterosexuals. I dream one day of being a father. All I want in this life is to fall in love with the man of my dreams (Whom I hope I have found ^_^) and raise a child. I never really understood the whole issue when i was younger, but I must be maturing. My heart races when I daydream of living in a cozy home with my husband and son or daughter. To have a child, to show them the joys of life, to teach them the ways of the world, it sets my heart racing to know I could be responsible for the upbringing of another beautiful life. The only saddening part is that my choice of whom i love will stop me from having my OWN child, creating a human life of my own flesh and blood.

gah, i need to cuddle with my boy now; getting out my feelings about this subject made me so warm and fuzzy inside. hehe

My aunt and her wife adopted kids. They adopted the kids no one wanted and helped them turn their lives around and get the help they needed.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with homosexuals adopting kids. To me, what really matters is that they care about their child, love him or her more than anything else and that they act like any other parent.

One parent is less likely to be able to raise a child effectively, not because the child will be missing a father or a mother only, but because of the time that needs to be spent with a child is difficult to achieve if the single parent has to work in order to pay the bills.

It sounds as if you just contradicted yourself. You say the problem with single parent families is there is not enough time for the child, but you say the problem with homosexual parents is that there aren't both genders raising the children.

Single parent families are raising fine children and anything you say to the contrary is BS.

I think that in both types of family situations there are needed elements missing.
