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..
A load of bull, that is all you wrote. Gay parents start a family for the sake of the family, for the children, they do not have accidents, they plan on it. Many straight people also plan on having children, often not biological, your premises fail and always will, they are biased based on ones sexual orientation. It does not take being straight to be a parent, nor to have a child biologically.

People adopt because they need to fill a longing in their lives. The desire to be a parent is usually biological in nature. Nowadays, there are many who never have children, but they often keep pets to fill that longing. A child, of course, is not a pet. Any couple wanting to adopt needs to think long and hard about what is best for the child and also the stability of their relationship. There are many couples who adopt only to go and get a divorce soon after. Actions like that show a disregard for the well being of the child.
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, she`s probably just looking for some sort of approval unlike the unselfish and dedicated same-sex parents who just want what is best for every child.
After all, if one father is good, two fathers must be great!
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.
The alternative to her mother leaving her father for her lesbian sex partner was her mother not leaving her father for her lesbian sex partner.
Some do say if a boy has abusive father/fathers they are always seeking the good father and find it by being gay, not saying that would be all cases but some gays say they missed having a good father figure when they were growing up.
So do some heterosexuals who did not have a good father figure present when growing. Curiously, they're still straight, though...
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.
Well, it all depends on whether or not the two "loving" parents actually love the child or simply believe they have found a way to remove the stigma of homosexuality by pretending to be just like heterosexuals, baby and all.
Too often what is called love is actually manipulation of one sort or another and this is certainly the case when actions conflict with stated purpose as it does when same-sex couples adopt children to complete their all for show family units.
There should be a band on Gay couples adapting kids. Besides are we only speaking only a very small portion of gay people who rally want to raise kids? Besides, it would interrupt their Gay Life Style.!
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?My=It just does not happen that way!:thi nk:
A multitude of issues may arise when children become aware that they have been adopted, even by heterosexual couples.
My older brother has a good friend who was adopted by a white couple from Vietnam in year 1972 (might be 1978) I don't remember the exact year. He had attempted suicide when he was a teenager because he had troubles bonding with the parents and their own biological children. The pain of semi-open adoption, especially for interracial adoption is rather intense. He told my brother and I several times that he has always struggled with abandonment issue although his adopted parents treated him very well and he loved them very much.
You have to know that we are not living in a perfect world. My guess is that close to 100% these adopted children would feel some level of grief over the loss of a relationship with their birthparents and the loss of the cultural and family connections that would have existed with those parents.
Many people adopt to give the unfortunate children fulfilling lives. If I remember this correctly, the adoption home study is required in each adoption. The study is an overview of the couple's criminal background checks, finances, and even their personal relationships. Gay couples go through the same procedures in order to be qualified to adopt a child.
The point is simple - homosexual marriages would have to kill kids by the truckload to catch up to the kids and wifes killed or abused within hetrosexual marriages.
its not even close
hetrosexual marriages are far more destructive, based on sheer numbers

You see it all over the place - "it's never okay to hit a woman", news reports that feel they must specifically mention if women were hurt or killed in a crime or accident, crimes against women being shown as especially heinous in movies and television, it being seen as a good thing that men get raped in prison on a regular basis, domestic violence shelters and treatment programs accepting only women, etc. I know this wasn't the subject of this thread, but that actually reinforces my point - even in a political satire, it's stated as a given how much more terrible it is for a woman to get hurt than a man. It even extends to female criminals, who consistently receive far lighter sentences for the same crime as men. So women are supposed to be equal to men, unless that equality would negatively impact women, in which case we're supposed to reverse things and consider women to be special victims.
