Neither did I. I merely pointed out that men are completely irrelevant without the women, and after the sperm is donated, the biological process that he finds so "natural" MUST take place ONLY with a woman, whether it's a lesbian or a straight woman.

It's such a silly argument he's making, I couldn't resist.

My point is they don't think it's incorrect or strange. Race and being gay is totally different.

Being gay is similar to being straight. A sexual orientation or preference. Race is totally different.

The USA is starting to feel more and more like a dictatorship.
You can say whatever you want, but there are consequences for barbaric and rude behavior. If I was to say something of a similar nature to what this player did at my job I would probably be fired. That is not a matter of free speech, it is a matter of decency.

The sexual orientation makes no difference.

Plus, there aren't enough heterosexual people willing to adopt all of the children in the system, or there wouldn't be thousands that age out of the system every year.
You can redefine the roles all you want, but the fact remains that male and females both contribute distinct roles in raising the child.

And 5% of the population (and that's assuming every gay couple would want to adopt) wouldn't make a dent in adopting all the children in the system.

My children have two parents that love them unconditionally, and a huge extended family. All of them are well adjusted, and successful. What more could having a person with a penis living in the house possibly change?

If you are parenting with your genitalia, you are doing it WRONG.

Why are there no consequences for talking trash and making fun of Christians?

Maybe it won't change anything, but I just feel a child should have a mother and a father.

Whooooosh! There go those goalposts.

First it was "Life is created only by man + woman having sex." Now it's "Raising the child is only man + woman."

Sterling isn't a slave owner. He is a billionaire who can afford to sleep with just about anyone he desires, but for whatever reason, he chose to sleep with a black women. Also, I don't think too many slave owners bought their black female slaves a 1.8M mansion, two Ferraris and a Bentley.
