Don't be offended when your children have trouble making friends.
Or gets picked in for being mixed. Or gets picked on for being fat. Or gets picked on for not being smart enough. Or gets picked on for being too smart.

Do you seriously go to that anti-gay hate group's website "Americans for Truth about Homosexuality" for your "information" about gay and lesbian people and believe it's actually the "Truth"?

Try searching for intelligence closer to home instead of searching for extra-terrestrial intelligence.

It's not exactly difficult to research who that group is and what their agenda is.

Watch the video (if you dare). The Americans for Truth tried to speak and some tarter sauce in rainbow suspenders and a banana comes up and bothers him. Also, a lesbian couple walk by and try to start a fight. I'm just pointing out you should drop the title gay or lesbian when it comes to adopting or growing your own if you want the idea warm to most folks. Otherwise we connect to that angry lesbian or the banana suspenders guy.

The lesbian couple asked him a question. The guy in suspenders has as much right as they do to be talking on the street. Free speech isn't just for those you agree with.

It is funny that the anti gay protester didn't seem to know that Folsom street fair wasn't a LGBT event, but a BDSM event. I guess he is ok with the straights having a BDSM fair as long as gays don't attend too.

It was an option for my Wife and I, but I didn't want that option. Whichever way it is, one of the parents, is not a parent. We choose a partner, sometimes because we want to make babies with that partner, why have someone else's baby.

Shall I bring up nature, as opposed to nurture?

Folsom Street Fair is a fair on BDSM culture. anyway someone into BDSM does not include gay people. I lived with a straight guy who went to BDSM events with his girlfriend. People that attend are Straight, gay, lesbian and bisexual. Folsom Street Fair does not encourage kids to attend this event.

Saw this video some time ago and will say again: his parents, the women that raised him, have so much to be proud of. They did an amazing job. Hetros can learn so much from these women about child rearing and the love that created family unity. There are many, many gay men and lesbian women couples who are doing just fine raising healthy, productive children.

LOL Yeah I watched it. I laughed. The guy with the banana... Is he just a bad actor or is he trying just a little too hard to be a stereotype?

Adopted children are not biologically either parents child, but the parents love them just the same.

What about nature Vs nurture?

My children have turned out to be wonderful people. All three are excelling in every way. That is because we stressed the importance of a good education, and being compassionate human beings.

It appears that you are trying to blame gay and lesbian people for your prejudice and ignorance. The fact that you like to visit the propaganda websites of anti-gay hate groups to support your prejudice, is your problem.
