You're not very smart, are you? Now, just why do you think there is a statistic that says the Netherlands has a high divorce rate with gays? Duh!!!! It's because it's LEGAL for gays to get married there. So OF COURSE there will be numbers that include gay divorces if you have gay marriage, just like you have numbers for divorces amongst heterosexuals because it's legal for heterosexuals to get married. Do you even THINK about things before you post???

Talking humble themself

I do not feel the gay people should be told they can't do this are that . How ever I do feel they much fight there own fight and not try to pull the world in it And most Gay people seen to be so unkind for what I do not know, but anyway I feel they need to humble themself and learn more of God before they run from him, and if they are she he's, or he she's who cares they can be what ever they went to be but please be kind and nice You will get more people to gfight with you when they see you are worth fighting for

I'm a quiet homo.
I have had neighbors at our neighborhood watch meetings jokingly ask me to move on to their block. My " straight neighbors across from me and behind me said " you can't have him, he's ours". I watch out for all my neighbors, straight, gay, old and young.

It is really hard to pin down a gay lifestyle. I have known gays that look like straight laced business people, and I have known gays who talk with a lisp and dress like they are going to a disco, some gays are republican some are democrats, some are really touchy about their sexuality and fly off the handle and assume everything is about homophobia. Others are very open to intelligent discussion. Some live a construction worker type lifestyle, and some work in flower shops.

While some are a walking stereotype, others you would have to hide in thier bedroom closet to find out they are gay.

He hasn't had any surgery, but he does want to be seen as a woman.

Physically he's still a man, who likes men
he's gay!

It's interesting you say that your gay friends are "as bitchy as women". Did you know that gay male brains resemble straight women's brains? It's true!

The news came out a few months ago, but I still find it fascinating. It certainly gives credence to the argument that being gay is not a choice.

Brains of gay men show similarities to those of heterosexual women, study says - Los Angeles Times

So would you say children would be better off growing up with two well adjusted, self aware, loving, supportive moms with lots of male relatives and friends involved in their lives or with a dysfunctional abusive heterosexual couple?

By the way, our daughters are straight and have no problems relating to the opposite sex. I look forward to seeing them marrying intelligent, caring men one day.
I disagree with you. In my view (in relating to children's early stages of sexual development), good parents of both sexes are of utmost importance, and any deviation from it creates confusion in their young minds. However, I agree with you in relation to having good role models in the family, friends, etc. The ideal family would be one where there is a good male and a good female parent raising their children, not abusive parents. Early age is the best time for children to assimilate and learn from their environment, parents, friends, etc., and the time when their individualities form in their minds. That is the time when all their experiences become "their norm."
