She said herself that her father "wasn't a great guy". We all know that many parents hide the really dirty stuff from their kids. If she know that her dad wasn't a great guy, then who know how much more was under the surface that was hidden from her to protect her?

Do you have anything to back this up?
Are there any stats on this hole theory you have that compares the hole in children of homosexual VS the children of heterosexuals?

So she joined some happy-clappy bible thumping "church" and now disrespects the happy family she grew up in? She sounds like a brat who is forgetting that she would have grown up in a single-parent home as the alternative.

It's 2015, anyone with a single bit of intelligence realizes that a loving family, whatever the make up, is the best thing for a child.

Raising kids is serious business. To put a child into a situation like that would be more confusing in child development.

The question should be poised, "what is Child development will look like in 50 years?" Will have a culture totally void of any moral standards?

The are important questions. Not left up to the a Flavor of the day, because of some sense that Gays want it all?
It just does not happen that way!:thi nk:

The Churches are responding to the Community. Have every hear of the Catholic Charities? We have people every year adapting kids from around the world. The Non Domination Churches have Ministries to help Kids.

The child in a proper foster parents and eventual a real home is the up concern of the God Fearing Community.

This post has to be a joke. So you are insinuating a child is better off in foster care than with 2 loving parents? Wow! How very "Christian" of you to judge others.

I agree with her. Parents are best with both a Father and Mother.
Who cares? It's just one person's opinion formed by her personal experience, and now she's just looking for attention. Is any rational person, who thinks gay people and straight people should be treated equally, suddenly going to rally for inequality because someone wrote a letter? No. She's a non-factor. She's only doing it for attention, anyway. Don't give it to her.

Yes, divorce deprives a child of a parent, but who said I was in favor of divorce?

Who said I was in favor of single parenting?

When those who create a family do so for the benefit of adults rather than children, as is the case in same-sex marriage, they are deliberately creating a family that by its very design cannot provide optimal care for children and have already proven themselves to be unfit parents..

Yes if it involves a SSC. Loving, ? That is a good question what sort of home and moral up bring will this child be subjected to. We are not judging you just identified a fallen life style that could corrupt kids that all kinds of love is good.

For the record there is a whole community of Believers whom have the same point of view.

I and others would be the first to report any suspicious behavior to child services.

It just does not happen that way!:thi nk:
You seem to think morality is only present in heterosexuals. It does not take being straight to be moral or to be a good parent. The confusion that children in same sex parent households have is why the other kids are so hateful and disrespectful, why they say what their parents tell them. Raising kids takes devotion and love, that does not take being heterosexual. I know many many heterosexuals that do not have the time for their kids because their lifestyle gets in the way. And there is not a gay lifestyle. What is a gay lifestyle, just being gay?
