In this society where being gay is shunned upon (and for good reason), how do you expect a child to be raised by gay parents? The answer is: poorly. Stephen Nock, scholar of marriage at the University of Virginia, writes that every study on the subject of gay parenting "contained at least one fatal flaw," and "not a single one was conducted according to generally accepted standards of scientific research." Well well well, God did create Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, didn't he? Other studies show that children raised by homosexuals were more dissatisfied with their own gender, had homosexual experiences more frequently, and suffered a greater rate of molestation by members of their families (Adolescence, 1996; Archives of Sexual Behavior, 1986; American Sociological Review, 2001). So why the hell should we allow gays to be parents? So we can nurture more fucked up children and create a vicious cycle of dissatisfied gay members of society? I'd hate to be around for that.

    I agree with you ddodd you make a good point on how it could hurt the child's feelings for his own gender and i could see how he would feel discomforted with having gay parents i know i would feel akward having gay parents. Trying to have some friends over and everyone else has a mom or dad well i guess you would still but being raised without them and having two dads?? That just doesn't seem right and shouldn't be that way. I feel two males can have feelings for eachother but thats were it should stay at you shouldn't have to raise a kid to feel like a family can you produce a kids with two guys i don't think so! So why should two males be able to raise one?

    FINALLY, someone who is living in reality. Thank you caribu121. I'm sick of people saying gays are equal, like it's a race. Well it's not. It's a choice, and when you choose to be that way, then you have to accept all of the crap that goes with the territory. If the world was meant to be gay, and gays can't procreate, then the world wouldn't exist, would it?

    "If the world was meant to be gay, and gays can't procreate, then the world wouldn't exist, would it?" What if the world was meant to be a mixture of gay and straight with most people being straight. Sort of like eye colors. The world still exists and everyone would be happy. Note, this is how it is in nature. There are lots of accounts of gay animals. I guess it was the immoral squirrel culture that made the gay squirrel ;)

    You've got to be kidding me ddodd. I know so many fucked up heterosexual people in this world. Parenting is just the way it is, and it doesn't matter what the orientation of the parents are. You're either a good or a bad parent, and that's that.

    "There are lots of accounts of gay animals." Yes, there are SOME. But almost all observed occurences occur in a stressed ecological environment - over-populated and/or under-resourced. In a well-balance, spacious, food-plentiful environment animals remain Hetero. Consider that for a mo', will you?
  • literati said on May 30, 2006....
    ross121, you get it. ddodd, you don't. It is far more important to teach your children about acceptance. And to teach your children about the many facets of life and the joy of following your heart. As a teacher to many troubled teens, I can tell you that good parenting has nothing to do with sexual preferences. You should attempt to cite similar statistics regarding straight parents. You would be shocked. Be awakened.
  • BULL said on Jun 02, 2006....
    Just like literati said(sexual preferences)not biological,not hereditary,but that is what you choose to do with your sexual organ..These people CHOOSE this lifestyle.So do child molesters,and rapists.So when will the law change where an adult can be sexually active with a 6 year old child? Dont they have the same rights as a lesbian,or gay man? They should,they should have the right to do what they want with their sexual organ just like every gay person does. I believe they should all have the right to be imprisoned.Teaching acceptance is one thing,and teaching un-natural practices is another.Children only see the truth,until their taught to believe the lies.The most important thing here is that most people with these type's of sexual practices are mentally ill.Its like trying to show the blind the fireworks display on the 4th of July.They just cant comprehend it.And I believe they will spead this illness to the unfortunate children in their care.Some will be ok,but most will not.

    A person like you should just die. It's been 16 days since your last post and I truly hope that this means you've died in some terrible fashion. I think from your fixation on homosexuality means that you were badly abused by a male member of your family which left scarred for life. It twisted you into this ugly bitter man who wants to fuck older men who remind you of who did that to do. You were raised to believe homosexuailty was wrong and instead of questioning it you accepted it and fear it. I hope you get gang raped by a group of large black men who'll make you do the things you secretly want to do. You're going to burn in Hell you insignificant little bug. Fuck you and have a nice day asshole.

    why would anyone choose to be gay? to garner the hatred from people like you ddodd? wow, that is really my goal in life. make a difficult decision to accept my sexuality so i can be persecuted by ignorant, probably gay, assholes. thanks for making me feel smarter because you are the dumbest piece of shit i've ever had occasion to read.

  • anonymous said on Feb 13, 2007....
    It's the funniest thing when a straight person asks "Why would anyone choose to be gay?" Well why do you choose to be straight? (In the case of a guy) "Uh, cause I like girls. They're hot." Well! Why the hell can't I think a girl is attractive? If you have the 'brains' to know that the chick is "HOT" then I do too. I didn't choose to start looking at girls in a "sexual" way... it happened to me just like it happened to any other guy (or les/bi) out there. When people start comparing gays to criminals... it does NOTHING for the anti-gay's case, all it does is makes you look like you dropped out of school. I have friends who have gay parents. The kid of the Les couple I know is now going to UCLA and well heck... I know friends with straight parents who also go there. Teaching your children morals and values have nothing to do with the sexual preference of the parents. I'm sure that you can't trace your Morals back to the gender of your parents. Kid: "I don't want to sex until I'm married" Friend: "Why?" Kid: "Cause the Male parent of mine taught me that?" - Seriously now. Oh and the "fact" about children of gays being more likely to experiment in homosexual activities is probably true... but at least they'll figure out their sexual preference and be more tolerant of others. -Nothing of harm comes from to mutual adults loving eachother- and Hate gets us nowhere. Falsefaith
  • anonymous said on Jul 30, 2007....
    Many, many prestigious scientific journals have shown that the gender and sexual orientation of parents has no significant impact on a child's upbringing (i.e. gay parenting is fine) and ONE researcher (presumably with his own self-serving agenda) reports otherwise - I know who I'd rather believe.

    See my blog for just a few examples of the many studies in favour of gay parenting: http://donorhunt.blogspot.com/2007/07/psychological-evidence-supporting-same.html

    "Oh and the 'fact' about children of gays being more likely to experiment in homosexual activities is probably true... but at least they'll figure out their sexual preference and be more tolerant of others."
    I appreciate your willingness to admit this. It should be starred and highlighted as far as any of us are concerned. Now it is important to discover what is truly meant by "figuring out their sexual preference". The fact that the gay population has increased significantly over the past fifty years can mean only one of two things. Tell me what you believe:
    1. It means that the gay genes have become mysteriously more numerous in the past ten years than they ever have been in the past two hundred+ years, or
    2. It means that being gay is a choice.
    Either way, let's come back to "figuring out one's sexual preference". What does this entail? Is it like studying up on the different religions to see which you believe is most correct? Or is it like finding out which foods you like best? When did sexual preference become something so arbitrary as to be effected by such petty types of decisions?
    Gay is a choice. I am willing to be flexible in this statement with saying that some people may have gay tendencies that are too difficult to reverse because I do not wish to be unfair. However, even in this situation, labeling oneself ‘gay' is a choice, which can lead to longer lasting consequences of practice, etc.
    In conclusion to these thoughts, I would like to ask a question.
    The discussion above contains derogatory comments from pro-gay individuals against Christian individuals.
    Why do gays oppose Christian beliefs?
    What does the Christian belief set contain that could be ruinous to the desires of a gay individual, or detrimental to their goals for the gay community?
  • anonymous said on Oct 07, 2008....
    ...Or it means that more people believe that it is safer to come out now than it was in the past. The media has since embraced the gay culture (Will & Grace, The L word, Queer eye). People are also speaking out publicly on being gay. With high profile people that have came out, more people are starting to have tolerance because they realize that sexual orientation doesn't mean shit. Look at Ellen, most of her fan-base are straight females. Angelina Jolie is loved by many for her humanitarian work, and she's bisexual. Elton John, his music career did not suffer because he came out. Lance Bass, Megan Fox, Madonna... etc. With so many "loved" people coming out, there is a feeling of ease for closeted gays to come out NOW. (Though the world isn't as accepting as it seems to those that are just the general public). Also, not all "gays" oppose Christian beliefs. And not all Christians hate or condemn gays. As a bisexual, I choose to be labeled "lesbian," and I chose to date my girlfriend (when I came out a long time ago). I however, did not choose to fall madly in love with her and I did not choose to feel the connection I have with her. That is why being gay is not a choice. Because if it was, the gays who kill themselves from the abuse that they may unfortunately have endured, they would still be living and they would be living a happy straight life.

    ddodd u r the man. i agree with you a hundred and ten percent. they are not equal in any way. I have no hate for any kind of race, gender, religion yet when it comes to homos i hate them intensely. it is a choice and there is no scientific proof to disprove it. gay people have always said that it is genetic mutation but they r all idiots. there is no proof and there never will be because there is no such thing as the gay gene. and all you gay people can you explain to me this, there are some people who are born straight, turn gay at age 15 and then turn straight again all of a sudden at age 23. that is why being gay is a choice not genetic malfunction. also benign123 u r a idiot because the so called "gay gene" increase, its that in our society today as said as it is, being gay is more widely accepted than ever before. there was once a time where being gay was looked at in the same level as being a rapist and so if we are accepting gay people today, whats next drug dealers!?
  • anonymous said on Jan 23, 2009....
    I feel slightly offended at this concept, that the GLBTQ community should be so removed from the concept of marriage and parenting. The concept of the Gay Gene and it's falsehood creates the same kind of prosecution that Blacks received nearly fifty years ago. Do you want to consider yourself among the ranks of other extremists such as the Nazi's or the KKK? They justified their hatred in the same way as you have yours. There remains no scientific evidence that any GLBTQ individual is genetically different, nor that same-sex couples make better or worse parents. One is not necessarily born Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, or any of the other multiple of terms that has arisen over the years. While they may feel outsiders for years until finding their niche, the same can be said of any individual ignoring their sexual orientation. It remains a choice, one that is prosecuted primarily because of religion. Not all GLTBQ are opposed to Christianity, and many have found ways to continue to be active in the church. However, as some of the church's biggest names such as Rick Warren and other big-name pastors and religious leaders continue to discriminate against the GLBTQ community, many do not feel welcome by the church, and often turn to other religions, or atheist/agnostic beliefs instead. To add to this feeling of nonacceptance is the continual use of the term 'gay' to mean stupid or dumb. Not only is that offensive and grammatically incorrect, but it is a continual reminder that most of society is ignorant, or simply does not care. Being Gay or Lesbian is not a bad thing. If someone chooses to live this lifestyle, there is nothing that allows anyone to stop them. It makes them no better than racial extremists who hate because someone is different. If we were teaching children to be accepting towards others differences 20 years ago, no matter their race, are we going to tell them to be accepting of the color of their skin, but not if they have two mothers/fathers? We can't choose to accept one person over someone else based on their choices. We can disagree, but we can't continue to prosecute. If I said that I hate straight people because they all believe that I am a sin against god, I am generalizing a particular group of individuals. If it works this way, whose to say that it doesn't work in the reverse? Often, that is exactly their reasoning. What remains most offensive, however, is the following quotations: "I'm sick of people saying gays are equal, like it's a race." "You were raised to believe homosexuailty was wrong and instead of questioning it you accepted it and fear it. I hope you get gang raped by a group of large black men who'll make you do the things you secretly want to do. You're going to burn in Hell you insignificant little bug. Fuck you and have a nice day asshole." And people wonder why we fight for equal rights.
  • anonymous said on May 07, 2009....
    I'm sorry but everyone on here is FUCKED UP. "Scientists at the Karolinska Institute studied brain scans of 90 gay and straight men and women, and found that the size of the two symmetrical halves of the brains of gay men more closely resembled those of straight women than they did straight men. In heterosexual women, the two halves of the brain are more or less the same size. In heterosexual men, the right hemisphere is slightly larger. Scans of the brains of gay men in the study, however, showed that their hemispheres were relatively symmetrical, like those of straight women, while the brains of homosexual women were asymmetrical like those of straight men. The number of nerves connecting the two sides of the brains of gay men were also more like the number in heterosexual women than in straight men." quoted straight from the reporters website dont fucking tell me that beng gay is a choice. And as for anyone on here saying gays and lesbians and bisexuals and heterosexuals are fucked up, well I dont see new's reports and articles on some fucking gay guy brutally torturing a straight one just because of difference in sexual oriention. being gay is a natural thing, and it's something happening everywhere your not going to fucking stop it, unless you try to kill them off, then you'll get killed yourself. So honestly pull your arrogant heads out of your even more arrogant asses, do some research and stop being so stupid about this fucking subject. Theydo nothing to you, and I dont see them trying to take your rights away so let them live their life the way they want.

    This is ludicrous! My very best friend's parents are gay! They are absoulutely normal in every way, except they are gay. They have a pool, friends ( including straight men, gay men, and straight women. No lesbian women, there aren't any in our community), and an adorable labrador dog. One of their sons is gay (15), one of them is straight (21), and their daughter is straight (12). They indulge in no sexual activity with anyone except with eachother, and they have never flirted with anyone but eachother (Only mildly in front of us, I don't know about in the bedroom, obviously.) and they love their children. Just because the Bible says it is wrong, it doesn't mean it is true. Those are YOUR beliefs, and I respect that. However, it is not your place to decide. It is their place to do so. My motto is "Live and let live". Them being gay does not negatively affect me at all, nor anyone else. It doesn't hurt you for them to be gay. ~A caring neighbor
  • patrick144000 said on May 28, 2009....
    Most of the people responding simply do not know anyone gay -- or at least not that they are aware of. If they did, they'd know how ludicrous their ideas are. Dr. Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, assured me by email that sexual orientation is caused by a *combination* of genetic *and* in-utero hormonal events. In other words, we are born gay, straight, or bisexual. Claims to the contrary are simply bigoted responses by people who refuse to accept what real gay and lesbian people actually tell them. By the way, I am a great parent -- and I am gay. Get over it.

AND HOW DARE ANYONE SAY ITS A LIFE STYLE CHOICE your born that way ok you dumb straight people just cant exept the fact that things are diffrent. we all need to learn to come together and live eaqually. because dening two men or women to not have a child is discrimmintation and thats not fair to the gay sociaty

    Your a dumbass fuck do some of you people seriously think that people "choose" to be gay,no they dont,most of them are born that way,love is love,no matter what gender,no matter if you have 2 dads 2 moms,mom and dad,they give the same love,plus if a child has a dad and dad,and his friends have a problem with it,then they should understand that if there friends are negative to them because they have to fathers then those are not there real friends,most of the homophobic people are the ones that were raised wrong, led to believe that love can't be found in anyone from anyone,your the ones who need the real help,start over and get to understand love more bitches.
