I know! I have a really hard time condemning this. If two people are this committed to raising children, how can that be bad? I know they need a mother...but many women are not this involved with their kids.

Being gay is a sin, I don't have a problem condemning it.

Hope you're wearing a 10X flame suit for evemn saying you have a hard time condemning this. Frankly I could care less whether two competant,loving gay men or women adopt children. It's all good. There are plenty of kids to adopt around the world, so all those who don't like it can go adopt their own. Africa and Haiti has LOTS of orphans to adopt BUT I don't see anyone tripping over themselves to go adopt over there.

Gay men having children is nothing but child abuse, which will create some pretty messed up kids. I pity these children.

How can you NOT have a hard time condemning “this?” Are you that ill-informed or unable to exercise critical thought? Beyond exposing innocent children to the moral degeneracy of the “gay lifestyle,” there are significant health risks to the child, both physical and psychological.
We have laws requiring children to be strapped into an appropriate child safety seat in the rear of a car for their health. Most states prohibit the sale of alcohol and tobacco to children for the child’s moral and physical heath. Some states have laws concerning second hand smoke around children for health reasons. All states prohibit unrestricted child labor for the child’s health and safety. It is complete idiocy, or perhaps, more appropriately, the ultimate hypocrisy, to create these and other laws for the safety of children and then expose them to the risks of the “gay lifestyle.”
According to scientific studies, the median age of death for homosexuals is virtually the same nationwide--and, overall, less than 2% survive to old age. If AIDS is the cause of death, the median age is 39. For those gays who die of something other than AIDS, the median age of death is 42, and 9% die old.
Two and eight-tenths percent (2.8%) of gays die violently. They are 116 times more apt to be murdered; 24 times more apt to commit suicide; and have a traffic-accident death-rate 18 times the rate of comparably-aged white males. Heart attacks, cancer and liver failure are exceptionally common. Twenty percent of lesbians die of murder, suicide, or accident--a rate 487 times higher than that of white females aged 25-44. The age distribution of samples of homosexuals in the scientific literature from 1989 to 1992 suggests a similarly shortened life-span. The risk of leaving these children as orphans with all of the attendant psychological trauma that entails is highly significant.

Beyond the risk of making these children orphans, those who are housed with AIDS patients are also at risk. Dr. Max Essex, chair of the Harvard AIDS Institute, warned congress in 1992 that "AIDS has already led to other kinds of dangerous epidemics...If AIDS is not eliminated, other new lethal microbes will emerge, and neither safe sex nor drug free practices will prevent them."

AIDS has not been eliminated, nor is there any vaccine or cure on the immediate horizon. More than 80% of all AIDS cases in this country are homosexuals. How can you not condemn exposing innocent children to this potential threat?

I know several people committed to raising kids. Unfortunately, they don't set a very good example for the kids.
