For some insight, read this: Articles: On Gay Adoption, S.E. Cupp is Out to Lunch

This is child cruelty. It should be forbidden by law.
So you're saying that straight couples should never use a sperm donor should they need to?

Ok.

Well lets start by clearing up the notion that because you believe in the definition of marriage being the historical religious union between one man and one woman, it does not mean that you automatically "hate homosexuals".

As to the story and my pointing out that AJ Scalia correctly predicted that legally all sorts of future definitions of marriage would occur based on the SCOTUS ruling, I am not sure what you are asking of me. My statement was a factual observation.
Now if you are asking me if I approve of the government sanctioning all sorts of alternate lifestyles and calling it marriage, then the answer is no.
However my broader point is that many times people point out that action X will result in unwanted consequences people would not approve of, yet they are dismissed because people want instant gratification, and the resulting chaos be damned. So it takes those with courage to stand against the current tide and make sure people see the negative consequences todays actions will result in tomorrow.

Still want to bring life into this world after reading the posts of all these folks with their undies in a bunch over people loving each other?

You must be insane. No kids for you! :P

Ok.
Homosexuals are getting divorces in the 25% range... in time it will be just as high as hetero's.

Slightly off topic but I know a few females who claim homosexual or "bi" because men dogged them out and most of them end up with women who have the same characteristics as the guys they dated.

"I asked the audience: “Enough of gays saying they feel offended all the time. How do they think I feel when they tell me, someone raised by lesbians, I don’t have a right to my father, because of experts and their supposed research?” Applause, applause. The clock struck 10:00 PM in Italy.

“They don’t want to be told whom to love. So who are they to tell children who aren’t theirs that they have to love two gay adults and can’t love a biological parent the adults cut out of their lives?”
This is a completely false statement from someone who clearly has no idea what they are talking about. A child being raised in a loving family is the only thing that matters.

So do I. Those are crazy people. And it is 100% off topic.

A crazy person can claim to be a tyrannosaurus rex. Doesn't mean he is one or I should judge all TRex based on his example.

And you missed my point. Heteros have hardly set the shining example of good parenting. This is also way off topic, but I have LOTS of friends who have intact hetero marriages for their parents and one or both of their parents is a raging ahole or crazy person. That doesn't mean all heteros are crazy people aholes.

I have a hard time understanding why this is wrong. What exactly is unethical or immoral about polygamy?

You know it's in the Bible right?
