Gay couples’ children oppose same-sex marriage, tell of unpleasant upbringings
washington times ^ | january 8, 2015 | Cheryl Wetzstein

Most of the children of gays and lesbians who have filed court briefs in same-sex marriage cases say their parents’ inability to marry has deprived them of legal protections and hampered them from living their otherwise typical lives.

But four adult children of gay parents — acting as a “quartet of truth” — have submitted briefs to the 5th U.S. CircuitCourt of Appeals opposing same-sex marriages, with several saying that growing up under the rainbow was neither normal nor pleasant. The court, which is considering whether to uphold the man-woman marriage laws in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, will hear arguments in New Orleans on Friday.

I tutored a 12 year old girl who was completely ashamed and embarrassed by her mother and the “partner”. Poor girl kept her head down, and was very uncomfortable when speaking. I felt so sorry for her.

I find it odd that they use the rainbow - the reminder that God will never destroy the earth with a flood again.

These "parents" frequently have sex toys and paraphernalia lying about the house, in addition to hosting other "partners" for you-know-what.

Yet the "it's for the children" crowd conveniently ignores this.

Homosexual so-called marriage was all about adoption by homosexuals. There will be many more such victims thanks to senseless progressives.

“I find it odd that they use the rainbow - the reminder that God will never destroy the earth with a flood again.”

And that the next time will be by fire.

Commandeering the rainbow from the Christians was absolutely intentional and a mockery of its symbolism.

Children have a right to a relationship with their mother and with their father, not father’s “partner” or mother’s “partner”

Just to show there is a wide bit of variety, I knew a whiffy gay man in his 60’s. He was an accountant in the defense company where I worked and he was open and obvious. He had a younger live-in mate in a one bedroom house. During the fall of Viet Nam in the mid-seventies he was an employee at the US embassy. A Vietnamese officer begged him to take his young son to safety in the US. He did and raised the boy as his own. During the time the boy lived with him he was so discrete the boy had no idea what was going on. He sent the boy to college and the boy married and moved across the country to California. Then, the old man had a heart attack. The boy flew to his side and stayed in the living room of the old man’s house. The second day he asked where “Luke” was staying. The old man told him “in the bedroom with me.” It was apparently the first the Vietnamese knew about the old man’s habits. I believe the story as he was, despite being a flamer, decent to the bone. But, he came from a time when gays were discrete. Now, they seem to be in-your-face even when it’s totally unnecessary. (Which is MOST of the time.)

My observation is that when there is a gay couple raising kids, the girls turn out to be “daddy deprived” and of the 3 cases that I know, they are either working the pole or tattooed bed warmers. The boys tend to be effeminate unless they have strong male figures in their lives.

For much of human history about 12 or 13 is when girls became marriageable women.

Last year I had to go to a first birthday party for my next door neighbor’s kid,and the kid’s mom has a sister that bats for the other side,and she and her girlfriend are raising two kids...a boy and a girl. From what I observed,the girl,who is about 7,was all over every man there...including myself,who she didn’t know from a hole in the wall...just starving for any attention from a male figure.The boy,who was about 5,spent the afternoon walking around with his head hanging down and with an expression on his face like all he wanted was for someone to put him out of his misery.

The homosexuals in the US are hypocrites. They talk about letting people choose their own sexual identity, but then force their own lifestyle on children who aren’t interested.

We have a friend who believes that marriage is for procreation and therefore is totally not interested in “marrying” his partner. They are both in their 60s so I’m guessing not a lot going on anyway. Certainly not looking to adopt.
