My opinion and I am sticking to it.

We happen to have a "gay couple" kid ( One of the gays had this one while being married before finding out they were gay ) in my younger childs class and the kid is totally confused about life and asks the other kids what is it like to have a daddy?

The child actually emotionally is a mess and is being forced to believe that it is ok to have two moms.

It is easy to see the kid is a total emotional mess caused by two people who have themselves first and the child second.

If I were a judge I would take the child away from this couple and see if the Dad has a better family and home life for it before they are scarred for life with this crap.
Hmmm. You ASUME his an emotional mess. He's probably better off emotionally than most kids. Many kids don't dads for reasons...Are they curious..yes. If the parents are truthful and open, the kid won't be left out in the dark wondering stuff...lol. Stop it!

Kids need love, support, encourgagement. They need to feel protected. And Gay parents can provide that as far as I know. I know kids that grew up with Mom and Dad and are really screwed up. My friend Natalie grew up with 2 lesbian moms, and she it the coolest person. She is so loving and caring. So open-minded and non-judgmental. I asked her if she wish she had her dad..she said "I rather have NO dad, than an alcoholic, abusive one". She's so strong. So I'm like, OK...these Lesbians did a pretty good job!

Just more anti-gay crap. Jump into the 21th century someday.

Gays do not 'choose' to be gay. One either is gay or they are not. The only 'choice' involved is whether to openly live as a gay person or spend one's life in denial.

There are a hell of a lot more children out there, then there are adults wanting to adopt them. I believe that a child would be in a better situation if they were in a loving homosexual home, rather then living in foster homes and/or their abusive family homes.

Many people would rather have a child live in different foster homes then with homosexual parents. It is a religious thing.

you dont know why it is that this child is supposedly unstable. it can be many other issues. like other kids pickin on him for having two mommys. whos got the issue then? the kids taught to be bigots ro the young boy?

but either way there is a lot of research that goes against what you said. and the field of gay parenting is expanding. there is a new crop, a new generation of kids from gay families and they are as american pie as the next family.

your idea of these confused vagabond children of gays is a myth. its a stereotype and it is ignorant. get with the APA on this one. you will see that you are really WRONG.

let kids go to loving homes. thats what matters.
