Well, it depends; is her newborn a male or female? If you got two girls on your hands, just embrace the outdoor calamity.
Like I said I do not hate gay people but I think being gay is something that I do not support. I dont think people are born gay but it is something that is a result of neglect on someones part. I have worked with gay people and even hung out with gay people and on a personal level they were decent people. That being said, in the back of my mind, I always thought that these people had some sort of psychological problem that was caused by some sort of neglect. I classify someone being a bigot as someone who goes around picking fights with gays and calling them obscene derogatory names. I dont do this and I respect their rights until it comes to adopting young kids. Now why is it that this concerns me so much. Well honestly it doesnt concern me at the moment because I am still young and dont have any kids of my own but one day in the future I plan to have a family and when I do, I dont want my son or daughter thinking homosexuality is a valid direction to follow. As you all can derive from my reasoning that my judgment is coming from my religious views. I think homosexuality is caused from lack of self esteem from which may be caused by failed past relationships or lack there of. It may be caused also by a myriad of circumstances.
Has anyone seen that recent 30 Days episode about gay adoption? Its really good and shows both sides of the debate. Its worth watching and seeing how gay parents actually are and treat their children instead of relying on some preconceived stereotypes about the gays.
Tell me you are still an adolescent who has yet to be exposed to higher education? You really think someone becomes gay because of neglect? I have worked around many nabused and neglected adults and children. Now some become sexual predators because of former sexual abuse but it doesn't make a consistent transition from a boys get abused and neglected boy is now gay. I have had many gay friends and have discussed this at length. If you want to consider it homosexuality a lifestyle choice then by all means do so. However then you must concede that your heterosexual lifestyle is also a choice. You could date a man if you so chose however you would not do so because you are not attracted to men. So it is for gays, they could date a woman but they are not attracted to them. Why is that so hard for people to understand?
To be honest, I think we should just let the orphans decide for themselves if they want gay parents or stay in an orphanage.
Your hatred knows no bounds. You make me sick. I have very close friends who are gay and are raising 2 children in which they adopted. They are fantastic parents raising fantastic children. They do very well in school and are very well adjusted. They give money and their time to charities. They even play sports. There is no f***ing way you can tell me that these kids were better off not being adopted by this couple.
I don't know if i can believe that about gay people. I've seen first hand people who say they used to be straight. I've seen people who bounce back and forth between sexuality. It makes it terribly hard to tell. But, it would be very ignorant to say that a homosexual couple raising children is worse than the system or no one. However, i don't see how anyone can contend against man/woman parent combination being ideal. There is a range of emotion, thought, and values that differs between genders.
I would support a lesbian couple adopting a male child if and only if they had him wear Jovan Musk everyday.
I agree whole heartedly with that statement. Which is why i can't understand why there is such a debate on the matter. It might matter if i'm raising my children and i want them to be grow to be men and women regardless of who they choose to have sex with. I was just commenting on what the previous said. It actually has zero bearing on whether or not they should take care of orphans IMO.
Who cares? Its not as if McCain is going to have a say in this anyway. States decide, and all McCain can do is talk about it.
The children I feel sorriest for are any that have to grow up with you. Talk about really growing up with twisted beliefs.
I know it's not conclusive one way or another as to whether or not one is born gay, but as one of my professors in college stated, "with all the prejudice in the world against homosexuals, why would some kid in podunk Texas 'choose' to be gay"?
