this is going back to the gay marriage post a few days ago...

but how do you guys feel about gay couples who want children and adopt, surrogate mother, sperm banks, etc...?

Why should gay parents be allowed to raise children in the first place?..... I with my strong religious belief, I belive that's corrupting a childs mind... but whatever. everything's Ok in today's society

If stupid people are allowed to raise kids why not guy people.

Firstly, there is no scientific support that say if a gay couple raise a child that the child will turn out gay or have a corrupted mind. Having siad that, I believe it can be a good thing if they adopt. Not having one by the sperm bank method but adopt. There are so many children living in foster homes that would love to be given a permanent home, regardless of the sex of the parents.

I have different points of view on this. First, I believe that everyone has a right to live their life the way that they want to. Some people say that people are born gay others say that it is a lifestyle of choice. I am not gay, so I don't know. I don't pass judgement on people because of their homosexuality and I definitely never use religion as justification for homosexuality being "wrong" because dem priest bullin little boys just as much as any child molester out there. So they're not only going against their Christian faith, but they are also committing a crime.

I think that gay people should have the right to have children just like anyone else as long as they are able to provide a child with the proper guidance that they need in life. On the other hand, I think that maybe it can cause confusion for a child but again, I am not gay and I don't have gay parents so I don't know what it would be like. You see gay couples on TV all the time talking about raising children and you see their children and they seem happy, have well-rounded lives and obviously have no problems with having gay parents. But that is only what I see on TV, I don't know what it is like for all children that have gay parents.

again, aren't they ppl too. why shouldn't they be able to live life like everyone else? why shouldn't they enjoy family life; getting married, adopting children, etc. like said befor, there is no proof that children become gay from being brought up by gay couples. personally i think ppl are born that way. but that is just my opinion. whether born that way, or taught that way, or whatever, everyone has to live. u bring ur children up the way u want to. u teach them what u want them to learn. to each his own. respect.

i agree with you guys.....everybody should be able to live their lives as they please and regardless of sexual orientation, a couple should be able to adopt a child if it can provide and nuturing and loving home.

i'm sure some issues may be raised, but society is changing and things that were taboo or abnormal are accepted today than they were ten years or even 5 years ago...

I dont agree with it at all.

Gay adults have straight parents right? I actually have problems with so many men raping their daughters, not wheter two men want and can care for a child.

People who have a problem with gays adopting are so busy protesting children being able to have a home and a decent life, the priests are raping off the boys and girls........

By the way, I have a dad and a step-dad, yeah they dont live in the same house, but the concept of two parents is not so foreign?

this I really don't get, i don't really agree with it. The wolrd has gotten so corrupt now and will continue to

...but here's a rebuff for some of the arguments we might raise.

I don't agree with it.

You want to live a gay life, that's your "choice"....when you make that "choice" you make sacrifices. It is all good when a couple adopts a child and provides them with a home and opportunities the child wouldn't otherwise have, but when that home consists of two people of the same sex in a relationship together.....what effect is such an environment going to have on the child? When that child goes to school and is asked to draw a picture of his/her parents and he draws two men/women, how will he/she deal with the snickering/taunting from the other kids? How will the gay parents explain their relationship to the child? Why should the child even be exposed to this at such a young age? I just don't think it is right.

Let lovin' humans care for other humans that need love and have love to give. Love people. People. Not gay not straight, not black nor white. My gay white mail co-worker adopted an 8th grader from our school, after the young man's graduation he was delighted to have father and he was a loving and kind person before he was a gay white man.

Agreed.

Gay people are people too they are humans that deserve to be treated so. But raising children is not something that I feel they should have the right to do.. If they want to get married and live together thats their damn business but dont bring young innocent minds into alreadyF#*@ed up world...into that type of environment. We live in a society where if you keep doing something and accepting it, it becomes the norm. When I was young they rarely said #################### on TV...Now its like watching soft porn. Gays have already been accpeted, they have rights, parades, neighbohoods, flags, restaurants, stores etc.. I think it is just too much for a child to deal with and it is not fair to the child who already is being put in a prediciment by being adopted in the first place.
