Why shouldn't a child be allowed to be raised in a home with two loving parents? If the gay couple loves and takes good care of the child, what's the problem?
And from what I see in the news anymore, there are a lot of homes where there is a hetero couple raising a child and subjecting them to all kinds of abuse.
I would add that in the case of surrogacy, the couples have to cough up around $100K for the entire process, so these babies are going to well-off homes as well. Not that that guarantees good parents, but most will have advantages over the average child.
Well he didn't feel he was making a great defense of gay rights. He just knows for a fact that some kids have two moms or two dads. He sees them in church, they come to his birthday parties, etc. He and I talked about it and not once did he put it as an issue of gay rights, he just knew he was being told he was wrong when he was right. To me that's even better. He didn't view any of this as opinion, just as fact.
Yah, but for him to say what he knows as truth to a teacher who has authority over him and says the opposite is not something every kid would do! (It's not something that every parent would value either, but I do!)
Gays cannot marry because logic states they cannot reproduce. Now, you can legitimize anything to suit your emotions. And you can work around what is natural to cheat life. But gays cannot have marriage because it is only a piece of paper and they are disqualified from the institution because they were not made to reproduce. Period. Have a nice day.
That's a very close minded way to think. I am a conservative, Christian republican in most of my views. I believe in the REAL idea behind Jesus, everybody should be loved. I don't even go to church anymore because so called "Christians" usually bash anybody that doesn't agree with them. I am a straight married man with a kid. But what if I was sterile or my wife was sterile? Would that mean I couldn't be married simply because we couldn't conceive a child? That is ignorant.
gay people come from straight parents...and God made me...so did he make a mistake? I certainly hope not.
