Sebazz1 2 #29 March 26, 2002 Another good point!! Damn now I am really confused."Mommy Mommy I am scared can I sleep with you?"In life you have to take the good with the bad in any situation.Good gay parents vs, bad hetro/single parentsrich unhappy vs. poor very happy Too many unanserable questions. Overall we should let people adapt though. Let it happen in time it will be all good!SEBAZZ....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freebird 0 #30 March 26, 2002 I do not hate gays. I just think this country needs to needs to set strandards and values for our children. When they are adults they can form their opinoins based on what they have learned through the traditional man and woman rearing method...........That is still ok I hope.......

rhino 0 #33 March 26, 2002 I would still rather a child grew up with homosexual parents who wanted him or her enough to adopt, than a heterosexual couple with an "accidental" kid they didn't want. Pretty broad statement... But o.k. So what you're saying is that they are like every other kid out there. Much much worse and a hell of allot more confused.. >Some only know that as their way of life so they thing it is normal.Unless they are living on the island-of-only-gay-parents, I would think that unusual.

No in fact there are many kids today with parents that conceived them who don't know any different than to have same sex parents. They don't understand why other kids ask them such questions? Yes they do think it is normal.. And the majority of them "I'm sure" have a very hard time with it..Rhino Semper Fi ..... http:// www.aahit.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TequilaGirl 0 #34 March 26, 2002 I think gay marriages should be recognized by each individual state before we start adopting children out to gay couples........what happens if a gay couples adopts a child and then breaks up or divorces......what happens to the child??????

skymedic 0 #35 March 26, 2002 Quote have talked to kids raised by Gay parents in the past. They tend to be jaded. Some are some aren't. Some only know that as their way of life so they thing it is normal. I'm jaded and I had straight parents....so I dont agree with the above.....and i think Gay couples should be allowed to adopt...and also to get married....that I think is Way more important than being allowed to adopt....marcBSBD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhino 0 #36 March 26, 2002 You read my mind...Instead of a child hurting because mom and dad are apart..Now we have a child where dad and dad are apart or mom's don't get along?!?!? Now we have pain and even more confusion added to the mix.. Just doesn't seem like a wise move to me... Not a good idea... The penis was made for the vagina. It should stay there...

bbarnhouse 0 #37 March 26, 2002 I have to point out that children's opinions are formed and reached long before they reach adulthood.The youth of today are much more knowledgeable and tolerant of all kinds of things than my generation. As a parent, the best I can do is try to give my kids a good foundation to draw from, lots of love, understanding and enough freedom to allow them to make their own choices. With those choices there maybe some consequences for which they will have to take responsibility. The other point here is that we can be the best parent in the world, but it doesn't ensure that we are going to end up with good kids, nor does it ensure that our own kid might turn out to be gay. Do we love them any less? Do we truly have their best interest at heart? Isn't it our fondest desire to see our own children ultimately happy? Yes I prefer men and women together, but if it means providing a loving home for a child that otherwise would stay in the system, I'm all for PEOPLE adopting homeless children.It only takes a little pixie dust......

billvon 3,116 #41 March 26, 2002 >what happens if a gay couples adopts a child and then breaks up or> divorces......what happens to the child??????Same thing as happens when a hetero couple breaks up or divorces. A messy court case and custody battles. This problem is not unique to homosexuals, and marriages (at least here in CA) are no assurance that a couple will be together for any length of time. And again, I think that a couple that makes the decision to spend the time and money on adoption are more likely to make the commitement to stay together and raise him/her than a couple that has an accidental child. In that way, a homosexual couple that adopts a child is _more_ likely to give them a good, stable home than an unmarried hetero couple who discovers a baby in their future one day.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JDBoston 0 #45 March 26, 2002 To me it's kind of like asking 50 years ago whether people think interracial couples should be allowed to have kids. Yeah, the kids would probably get some shit about it from ignorant people growing up, but that didn't mean the parents were doing anything wrong by having and raising them. If anything, these kids grow up more balanced and sensitive because they have 2 sets of cultures & backgrounds & perspectives to understand. As far as the whole "family values" line against gay parents, which seems pretty common, IMHO that's a total load of shit. Family values means loving, supportive parents who spend time with their kids, and a stable, safe home. That's how you raise grounded kids with a sense of morals. It doesn't matter if the parents are white, black, gay, straight, or Martian. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhino 0 #48 March 26, 2002 The youth of today are much more knowledgeable and tolerant of all kinds of things than my generation. Because we as parents are subjecting them to that unnecessary stress. That is our mistake. As a parent, the best I can do is try to give my kids a good foundation to draw from, lots of love, understanding and enough freedom to allow them to make their own choices. True.. But it's our job as parents to raise our children according to our belief system. If my son comes home with another man and says he loves him he is in BIG trouble. I will uphold my belief system where my children are concerned. I will do just that because I believe my belief system is the right one. That is a gift that we have as parents. The gift to shape and mold these little people into better people than our parents did us. The other point here is that we can be the best parent in the world, but it doesn't ensure that we are going to end up with good kids, nor does it ensure that our own kid might turn out to be gay. I don't agree at all.. I think it is all in the parenting.. Too many parents are letting TV, Daycare, and School raise their kids and not running with the responsibility and honor of doing it themselves. Do we truly have their best interest at heart? I do.. That is why I will set the example and hold my ground. That is what a parent does. Sets the example.. Yes I prefer men and women together, but if it means providing a loving home for a child that otherwise would stay in the system, I'm all for PEOPLE adopting homeless children. I do wish all children had good homes.. But some are far better off in the system than bouncing from gay couple to gay couple. The system provides consistency and stability in some cases.Rhino Semper Fi ..... http:// www.aahit.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TequilaGirl 0 #50 March 26, 2002 The reason I brought up gay marriages is b/c you can't have a messy divorce or custody battle if the State you live in doesn't recognize your union........My opinion is gay marriages should be addressed before gay couples have the right to adopt children. I don't have anything against gay marriages. I am just trying to point out the obvious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
