These testimonies of adult children raised by homosexual parents reveal the likelihood of more related problems, if courts push marriage redefined to include homosexuality.
“I wasn’t surrounded by average heterosexual couples,” she says in her court brief. “Dad’s partners slept and ate in our home, and they took me along to meeting places in the LGBT communities. I was exposed to overt sexual activities like sodomy, nudity, pornography, group sex, sadomasochism and the ilk.” “There was no guarantee that any of my Dad’s partners would be around for long, and yet I often had to obey them,” she said. “My rights and innocence were violated.” “As children, we are not allowed to express our disagreement, pain and confusion,” Stefanowicz explained. “Most adult children from gay households do not feel safe or free to publicly express their stories and life-long challenges; they fear losing professional licenses, not obtaining employment in their chosen field, being cut off from some family members or losing whatever relationship they have with their gay parent(s). Some gay parents have threatened to leave no inheritance, if the children don’t accept their parent’s partner du jour.”
“I grew up with a parent and her partner[s] in an atmosphere in which gay ideology was used as a tool of repression, retribution and abuse,” B.N. Klein wrote of her experience with a lesbian mother. “I have seen that children in gay households often become props to be publicly displayed to prove that gay families are just like heterosexual ones.” Klein said she was taught that “some Jews and most Christians were stupid and hated gays and were violent,” and that homosexuals were “much more creative and artistic” because they were not repressed and were naturally more ‘feeling.’” “At the same time I was given the message that if I did not agree (which I did not), I was stupid and damned to a life of punishing hostility from my mother and her partner,” she recounts. “They did this with the encouragement of all their gay friends in the community and they were like a cheering squad. I was only allowed out of my room to go to school. This could go on for weeks.” “I was supposed to hate everyone based on what they thought of my mother and her partner,” said Klein. “People’s accomplishments did not matter, their personal struggles did not matter, and their own histories were of no consequence. The only thing that mattered was what they thought of gays.”
There you go again, Supersoul. Starting yet another thread about your fear of butt sex. You will post things that you think are facts but really aren't, get corrected repeatedly, give up, and start another similar thread later.
Wow! Two testimonies.
We could create a Denial of Service event on CityData if we all posted at the same time about the thousands and thousands of kids that were brought up by lousy heterosexual parents.

This. Many kids will always blame their parents for raising them incorrectly in one way or another. This article you're reposting is STILL not proof same sex couples shouldn't be parents. Move along, nothing to see here

The four people mentioned are Brittany Newmark Klein (a.k.a. Rivka Edelman), Robert Oscar Lopez, Dawn Stefanowicz and Katy Faust. All are Right-Wing columnists/commentators and activists for various Right Wing causes other than opposition to same-sex marriage.
Judging from their websites and various columns and reports each has appeared multiple times in various states testifying in one capacity or another against same-sex marriage, and as a corollary to that in opposition to same-sex couples raising children in the U.S. and elsewhere. Just as there are Left-leaning pop-up experts and testifiers, this quartet appear to be the Right Wing side of the coin.
Their writings on the net are certainly sizzling agit-prop if you have the time and inclination; and Mr. Lopez is also now writing steamy anti-gay gay novels, which is not an encouragement to venture into soft-core porn or to enrich Amazon et al.

These problems have nothing to do with being gay. It's just another prejudice of those "adults". It's about human nature. And these issues could happen in any kind of a group or couple.
And it's also human nature to blame problems on some issue not related to the problems. Human mind (when in pain) looks around to see if it can find a scape goat, someone to blame. And it settles on something. And, generally speaking, this something is not actually to blame.
Maybe I should start a thread called: "kids raised by bad parents complain that parents are allowed to raise kids".
Bravo OP for bringing light to an issue that people and the mainstream media will ignore.
It is not that they ignore it, but refuse to manufacture news where none actually exists. The OP is alas well known on this forum for blowing tiny things out of proportion to serve his anti homosexuality agendas, and where and when that fails he is also prone to simply making stuff up too.
4 anecdotes is insignificant. Extremely so. There is simply nothing impressive about managing to weed out 4 people from the many 1000s out there to speak out against SSM. In fact it has the opposite effect on me. That they could only find 4 people to trot out to serve their agenda is actually proof positive that the issues exist only in their imagination.
Further the dishonesty of this becomes blatant when you read the first "testimony". What the person is describing is actually not SSM at all. She describes a guardian who was highly sexual active, with multiple partners, and willingly exposed the child to this. How has that got anything to do with marriage? It has nothing at all to do with it. Even a little.
So no, no one is shedding light on an issue here. They are manufacturing one out of nothing, often with misrepresentation and twisting, and you blindly shout Bravo for this.

That is very sad. Those poor children.

That seems to be the crux of it all.
Thanks.
