There are other children who wrote the justices of the Supreme Court expressing similar feelings and concerns. Like this young woman, they were ignored.

No circumstance, no purpose, no law whatsoever can ever make licit an act which is intrinsically illicit, since it is contrary to the Law of God which is written in every human heart, knowable by reason itself, and proclaimed by the Church.

Wait until polygamy, polyandry and incest are options.

Kids will be permanently screwed up.

As a young man growing up, I didn’t have to deal with this. None the less, while reading this, I did have flash-backs to my youth.

This young woman mentions how they tried to act as if the two moms were just as good as a mom and dad, and that they didn’t need a man in their lives.

What I recall was being in situations with middle aged women who would sit there and trash men incessantly. It was their cause in live, or they just drew something out of this talk that gave them some satisfaction. As a young man, this was very disturbing to me.

I don’t mean that it caused me damage or anything like that, but it told me some very interesting things about what they thought about men just 15 years my senior.

Here I was listening two women who would soon hate me.

I would ask any women or men who venture off into conversations that might come under this category in some manner to please think before you say things in front of kids.

They may not say anything, but they’ll be listening and the thoughts they have won’t be in your favor.

How sad. With the doctrines and demanded sex changes from our sex masters, it is always the children who take it in the shorts.

I feel so sad for the boys of this age. Their parents don’t even try to protect them from the perverts preying on their bodies and minds in public schools.

It only gets worse for each generation. Sooner or later the radical will gloriously collapse and enslave America. : (

I knew a girl in high school whose parents divorced. In her final year of school, she had to choose between living in a nice house with mom and mom's new girlfriend, or living in a crappy little sailboat with dad down at the marina.

She learned a lot about boats and marina life that year.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the children. Same sex and to some extent conventional relationships want a ‘toy’. Many treat their pets better than the children.

It’s all about what they want, status symbol, whatever. Beyond selfish attitude as this has repercussions for the child the rest of their lives.

Hey, Sheila: THEY DON’T CARE.

They don’t care about you or your well-being, just about themselves and their personal desires.

When asked with of the lesbian moms was the biological parent, both said that they were. This bit of information was critical for determining if the child, a boy, had a genetic disorder. The moms insisted and refused. Clearly their agenda is more important than the safety of their child.

Try as they might the faggots cannot undo five million years of human evolution. A child needs a mother and a father. The older I get the more thankful I am that I had a loving mother and father and that my generation didn’t have to deal with this sh!t. In ten or twenty years there are going to be A LOT of screwed up kids.

Here in Seattle my young son (9 yrs old) has many friends. 3 of his friends have same-sex ‘parents’, 1 with 2 fathers, and 2 with 2 mothers.

I used to have the view that a child with parents that cared was a child better off than those with parents or caretakers that didn’t care. I tried to be accepting in the interests of the child. But upon getting closer I saw some things that gave pause.

The same-sex parents in each case seem in public to be nice people, educated, clean, not queer in looks or conduct. But the spirits of the kids are a different matter. I would say their spirits, their non-verbal behaviors, they act as if something important is missing; something is not right.

I am a single dad as we lost my wife/his mother years ago to illness. So it’s not like I show up with a female partner to make the contrast glaring. If anything my single status seems to make us more invited into their lives. We meet via school or soccer and then progress to play dates.

Within the same-sex parent arrangement of these 3 boys, at least one in each couple is a genetic parent.

I also have neighbors, two women, married who go to ‘church’, episcopal I think; don’t know, don’t care. One of the women had fertility treatments years ago and gave birth to two non-identical twin boys who are now 5 years old. The women are again educated, clean but there is a tension with the one parent, the one that did not give birth. the ‘man’ of the relationship.

Yeah I know it seems like I am surrounded here but this is central Seattle in fairly exclusive neighborhoods. Most neighbors and parents are like me, traditional and they leave politics out of the discussion.

But these kids are growing up and they seem to detect a difference in their lives or at least I see them hiding their true feelings. That’s it, they are hiding something inside them. I don’t see that in other kids.

It’s not my place to interfere here but my view has swung around where I am no longer a live-and-let-live hand waver of same-sex households for children. I think these kids should have a voice; perhaps professionals should be called in to study if these arrangements are in the best interest of the children. I am mixed on all this.

On the other hand one of the parents in each case I know of is a genetic parent. So I’m left confused because I think foster care must be worse.

This is a problem. But I think fortunately statistically it is a small problem but apparently not for the individual children involved.

Vexing problems for me leave only prayer as a means to cope.

I am pulling my son out of school next year and enrolling him in a Christian school. I’m happy with the choice as the academics are quite good. I want him to have a classical education so that if one day he is reading Shakespeare and there is a quote or allegory related to scripture, he will know where it was taken from.

When he gets a little older we will talk about some of his friends who are from same-sex households. He sees it now but it’s a little too early to sort it out. Again it seems like this is really prevalent but it’s not, it’s just where I live in leafy neighborhoods that are old and very nice, very traditional. For those of you familiar with Seattle, it’s the north end of Capitol Hill although we now live 3 miles away near a shoreline. And the mayor here is homosexual. So far no hostility to Christian businesses that I know of.

I think this fad of homosexuality will play its course into irrelevance but only after the issue of religious liberty comes to a head. I give the homosexual fad about 8 years and then it’s old news, at least I hope so. I hope to see in the meantime an Article V Amendment that gives states rights with teeth so that they can quash Supreme Court rulings and other egregious federal actions.

Here’s my shameless pump for my Article V post again:

A PERMANENT ANSWER TO SUPREME COURT AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ABUSES
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3304160/posts

I am sooooo sick of these federal government types and their self-importance. It’s got to stop. I grew up in DC and I know how the culture there has changed. I want to see 50% of federal government employees gone or early retired with no funding for replacements. Believe me we wouldn’t notice them gone. I’d even vote to fund their relocation just to be rid of them.

I didn’t grow up with gay parents but I know what she is saying. My father died when I was 8 and it left an emptiness inside of me that continues to this day. Children need a Mother and a Father. My heart aches for these children.

Just like the beheadable millenials enjoy sticking it to all generations before them, the next generation will utterly destroy the beheadable millenials.

I’m not sure how this next generation will do it, either by returning to normalcy or by going further into the deviancy set forth by the beheadable millenials, but they will destroy.

The next generation may actually be the ones who behead the millenials.
