Grown Children of Gay Couples Tell Courts Why They Support Traditional Marriage

The battle over same sex marriage has brought about many legal claims – but not all from the couples themselves. Children of same sex couples often sue for the lack of family stability and denied benefits that a non recognized marital status entails. But some grown children of gay parents are now speaking out against gay marriage – based on their negative experiences.

First, we need to muddle through all the hyperbole and understand what this debate is really about.

Award winning author and apologist Frank Turek writes in Correct, Not Politically Correct,

Activists want same sex marriage because they understand that government backed same sex marriage will validate and normalize homosexuality throughout society.

In his book, “Same-Sex Marriage–Challenges and Responses,” Greg Koukl states, “Same sex marriage is not about civil rights. It is about validation and social respect. It is a radical attempt at civil engineering using government muscle to strong-arm the people into accommodating a lifestyle many find deeply offensive, contrary to nature, socially destructive, and morally repugnant.” Same sex marriage advocate Andrew Sullivan understands this. He writes, “Including homosexuals within marriage would be a means of conferring the highest form of social approval imaginable.”

This is the real reason homosexual activists are relentlessly pushing to get the government to endorse same sex marriage…they want the social approval that same sex marriage will win them.

This argument will not likely end soon. States throughout the country have spoken to their desires for their residents, yet activist courts have sought to undo the will of many of these states.

Recently, four adult children filed a brief to the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals. In question is whether the harm they experienced was due to bad parenting or an overcompensation to normalize gay unions. In some cases, being refused access to heterosexual families left only one family type to model after.

It’s difficult to ascertain if these particular parents were simply selfish and without boundaries because they were also gay, as their children surmise. What becomes their theme is that children need and have a God-given right to a mother and a father, despite what the gay community may claim. Their stories reflect some abuse or simply neglect. One adult daughter recalls her male friends being propositioned by her dad and his gay partner. The unnatural preoccupation of sex was a theme throughout their childhoods.

The reason Christians have opposed same sex marriage so strongly is two-fold. The Bible has clear instructions regarding all sexuality, and the Biblical family is the symbol of God’s image on the earth. Removing all signs of God in current society continues to be the theme of the day, as His image is clearly under attack. Why else the vehement demand to normalize what abruptly distorts His image?

One thing is certain. Opening the legal box may provide more questions than answers, at least for the time being.

Oh, I’ll bet these grown children of gay marriage are being slammed on twitter and facebook. Being accused of disloyalty bordering on apostasy, from the radical gay’s point of view.
They are expected to ‘hush up’ about the negatives.

You're kidding, you have to be kidding. You mean children want a mother and a father, just as the God of the Bible intended? Say it isn't so!

“Gay marriage” is an oxymoron.

Burn them at the stake... Liberal judges do not want to be accused of supporting child kidnaping under false definitions of marriage

Indeed, a prerogative of appeasement to terrorism and enemies amongst liberals is to enforce sodomy and prostitution as a tool to such end, so they can keep padding their check books.

In the annals of history the perversion of ‘gay-marriage’ will not stand the test of time. This modern perverted fab will meet its Waterloo when the train derails—and it will in due season.

Sorry to say it, but one of this poor girl’s boyfriends, once they realized what was going on, should have gotten some friends together and beat the **** out of her ‘dads’ with aluminum bats.

Indeed, the children are completely brainwashed and blocked from the existence of heterosexual marriage.

Fags are sick.

Says it all right there.

“Negative experiences”? Oh my. They’re clearly homophobic.

Children of Gays are nothing but zoo animals or bait to get younger sexual partners.


One adult daughter recalls her male friends being
propositioned by her dad and his gay partner.

This is not unusual, this is the whole intent for gays. We
have yet to hear the real horror stories of these freaks.

They are sick in the head and do not deserve one ounce of respect
for their parasitical perversion, and they know it!

It is disrespectful of the OBVIOUS design of our Creator and even they know it!

My DIL who we love dearly has a crazy family. A Gay Uncle and Aunt. The Aunt and her Partner now have a child, well the partner had it. They flaunt it all over Facebook. I would like to be there some day when the kid asks where is and who is my dad. It’s just such crap that they do this to feel good about the sin that they live in. We are told hate the sin but love the sinner, that idea is crap too.

From an earlier thread

I gleaned some great verbage from McBuff;

"Our rights are endowed to us based upon our common humanity, not a particular behavior. In fact, no one has a "right" for a spouse, hetero or otherwise. We have the right to remain silent. . a right to an attorney.. .but not a right to be married. However, a child does have a right to be raised properly by the father and mother who conceived and gave birth to the child. . and it is therein where resides the confusion. "

and " The state should be removed from marriage."

" I tend to agree. Marriage derives its meaning and significance from religious precepts. Government got involved through the door of Family Law, in the interest of children, who by nature, are not able to represent their own rights and interests."

"The State now re-defining marriage, in fact, represents the State turning away from that one possible legitimate interest of Family Law. Children, and the protection of their rights to be raised by a father and mother, are the losers either way."

Anytime the ‘state’ gets involved where it doesn’t belong, it’s because there’s money and power to be had. Think of tax increases due to marriage (tax penalties)as well as social control of minors. Take them out of the home and sell them to someone else.

I’m glad these ‘kids’ (adults) are speaking up. I wonder how many more will speak out about being molested?

"Activists want same sex marriage because they understand that government backed [emphasis added] same sex marriage will validate and normalize homosexuality throughout society."

Gay activists unsurprisingly don’t understand the dual state / federal government system of our constitutional republic. Consequently, they don’t understand that because the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay agenda issues like gay marriage for example, the feds have no constitutionally enumerated gay “rights” protections to apply to the states via the 14th Amendment.

So regardless that pro-gay activist judges are wrongly using PC interpretations of 14A’s Equal Protections Clause to argue that 10th Amendment-protected state bans on gay marriage are unconstitutional, it remains that the states are free to make laws which discriminate against constitutionally unprotected gay marriage imo, as long as such laws don’t also unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
