Well if a gay couple want kids, adoption is pretty much the primary way to do it.
Yeah there are other ways but then a third person is involved and has a bigger stake in the game (sperm or egg or carrying to birth).

I'm surprised it's ONLY 40%.

I'm on your side on this issue, but Israel was actually founded by socialists. I mean real socialists, not Glenn Beck's idea of socialists.

Well, the gays have been around forever and nothing's happened at all, and there are plenty of other more-accepting countries not named the United States, and nothing has happened to those countries either, in terms of God's wrath, whatever that would entail. So I think we are fine.

This is what teens are exposed to that I was not exposed to as a teenager.

'Pop That' Video: Drake, French Montana, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne Have An NSFW Pool Party

This is what young culture says is O.K. and in my opinion, it's not o.k.

The video is an advertisement for Ciroc vodka and lesbians.
OK, you think it's not OK. Is that supposed to mean anything? Does your opinion hold any weight with younger people, youth society? No. With that being said, if you think all or even most young people would listen to and like this song, then you're sadly mistaken.

It's destructive to society.

Uh, this is what happens when someone is forced to suppress their true nature:

Larry Craig scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ted Haggard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rep. Foley Quits In Page Scandal

LiveLeak.com - Republican Bob Allen Found Guilty of Soliciting Gay Sex In Public Bathroom

Indiana Perv Busted for Heading Young Republicans

I suspect that 40% will grow as LGBT couples gain more acceptance, both socially and legally.
At least someone is adopting all these kids.

So Homosexual couples in MA have proven they favour a settled, long term commitment to one another as well as wanting to offer a home to orphans and love them as their own ?! Wow I can see how utterly evil and immoral this could be.



A kid who so far has had a really crappy deal in life, abandoned by hetero parents, who seemingly nobody loved and wanted enough to keep , is embraced and welcome into the folds of a stable, loving and accepting family. That must be truly , truly appalling.

I don't know how those people can sleep at night with such a guilty conscience and such crimes of thoughtlessness, selfisness and deviant behaviour.... The sheer nerve of wanting to offer a good decent home to children who have nothing...


Children need stability and love. Whether it is provided by loving parents, grand-parents, single parents, adoptive parents, straght parents, gay parents, white parents, black parents, purple parents with blue spots, foster parents what truly matters is having people who love, respect and encourage you in life. People who see you through the tough times, who nudge you to be your best, who are there for you no matter what and will educate, challenge and root for you.

I could not care less whether what form that package takes straight or gay. Love is Love. Respect is Respect. Period.

Anyone could cannot see this is simply being willfully obtuse and too bigoted to care .

It's still too early to tell..but eventually the divorce statistics and single LGBT parent numbers will grow.
Our society is like that and LGBT couples will most likely follow those statistics.

What, you think unrepentant brazen homosexuals have just popped up out of nowhere?

You don't think they existed when this nation was "blessed"?

Sorry your God up and forsook you, dude, but that's your problem, not mine.
