I already responded to all this, and you (for some reason that is actually far from unknown) have chosen not to reply directly to it. A majority of psychologists, experts on what truly constitutes a sick mind, have pointed out exactly the opposite of what you're saying. Not only are gay parents comparable to "straight" parents in terms of how well the children they raise turn out, but there are studies indicating that they might actually be better.

So the real question is, what kind of sick mind thinks we heteros should raise children? Lesbian parents in particular are doing a much better job. Why do you want to deny children the best sort of parenting out there?

Thank goodness that some places still exist - there may be some hope yet.

Ever heard the phrase "no man is an island". People's actions affect society as a whole - and in this case it harms children - which everyoine should be concerned about protecting.

Homosexual activists are shoving their agenda on the rest of us because they want forced acceptance of their deviant and unnatural lifestyle. That is why they want people to believe the myth that their "raising" kids is a good thing - it is not.

Children need the influence of both a male and female parent figure in order to develop properly. This was never questioned until the homosexuals began pushing their lifestyle and demanding acceptance - and it has not changed.
I think people who raise children in overly religious households are abusing their children. In fact, there have been MANY children who have died at the hands of their overly religious parents. Perhaps I should try and BAN religious parents from having children or adopting. Personally, I think it's disgusting and immoral to raise children in an environment where they're told they're going to hell and that they're sinners and that there's some imaginary dude in the sky somewhere watching them all the time. I've known quite a few people growing up that were completely screwed up for life because of their religious upbringing.

Again, not everyone believes they live a deviant and unnatural lifestyle...I certainly don't. And again, what about single parents? Should they have their children taken away because they will only be raised by one gender? I know gay parents that are currently raising amazing little children. I also know quite a few people my age (late 20s) that were raised by gay parents and are perfectly well adjusted and wonderful people.

Trying to ban thousands of people from adopting children because you think it's icky that people are gay is kind of messed up. I don't go around trying to ban evangelicals from raising children...yet.

Then move there. Be surrounded by people you want to be surrounded by. Leave the people who think gays should be able to marry and adopt alone. Don't ban it for everyone just because you don't like it.

Well, good lord, with so many straight married households with children, breaking up you ought to be a hell of a lot more concened about that awful problem in society. A number of straight single parents have to struggle along raising children the best they can because they can't get child support. With so few gays actually adopting or having children it should pale in your concern. It's quite obvious you have very misplaced priorities.

And what is this how you feel homosexuals are forcing you to accept what you say is their deviant and unnatural lifestyle? Have you been having a hard time walking out your door without a homosexual coming on to you to have sex?

Framing homosexual parenting as child abuse isn't a very convincing argument to me, because I don't like children.

I'm not currently a member of this "brigade" you're talking about, but would be willing to join up if they've got matching jackets. Matching jackets are cool.
