and i thought my parents were gay! (gay meaning lame in this sentence)

"Lesbian Soccer Moms" sounds like a porn video.

The fragility of these families was recently brought home on a story line of the television show "ER" in which a female doctor and a female firefighter have a baby together. When the firefighter dies, her parents -- the biological grandparents -- refuse to hand over the infant boy to his other mother.

"The story line is very significant in my own life," said "ER" executive producer Dee Johnson, who has two sons with her female partner of 10 years.

I'm so glad I stopped watching ER! 'His other mother'? How the heck does that work?

Got one in my office. She adopted a child from China. She lied on the application in doing it. Answered a question about her marital status by saying she was single, but was not opposed to marriage in the future. What she forgot to state was that said marriage would be when she could marry her female partner. But, of course, the Chinese did not care, they wanted the money and rid of a female child.

The first step for lesbian would-be parents is choosing a sperm donor.

Like David Crosby.

Using artificial insemination to get pregnant, lesbians are four times more likely to have children than gay men.

So gay men, using artificial insemination, have one-fourth as good a chance of bearing children? Wow, the technology has progressed more than I thought.

This reminds me of a story my niece and nephew would just as soon forget...
My sister had a friend over at the same time my niece had her boyfriend to visit. My nephew suggested that they buy some Dairy Queen. My niece, the boyfriend and my nephew took the order and left for the store. When they got back, my sister was on the floor, topless with her "friend". My nieces boyfriend had the good grace never to mention it again.
My nephew no longer speaks to his mother.

Oh yeah, this is really psychologically helpful to a child. /sarcasm off/

[livius]

Totally ridiculous. History is full of women (sisters, mothers and grandmothers, friends, etc.) bringing up children alone because the children's fathers had died or left the family to go to war, or even because they were away at sea for decades.

It is normal for children to be brought up by women. In traditional Christian and Jewish practice, it is also normal for a man to be part of this, but as a providing parent rather than a nuturing parent.

I am not saying there is anything wrong with a male parent who is more involved in the life of his kids. What I am saying is that these gay "activists" are trying to take a biological predisposition (women bring up children) and turn it into something sexual, which it is not and never had been.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Now we must endorse child abuse too.

Real lesbians are ugly anyway.

Studies show lesbian parents are doing a good job. "Absolutely, these kids do fine," said Dr. Nanette Gartrell, a psychiatrist at the University of California, San Francisco, who is in the 18th year of a study on lesbian families created by donor insemination.

An excerpt from "Are children of gay parents worse off?"

"Are children raised by gay parents worse off than other children? As same sex couples line up for marriage licenses in Massachusetts, the question achieves greater urgency.

Two researchers answered when they reviewed the available scholarly literature in the American Sociological Review three years ago. What makes their essay intriguing is that both professors Judith Stacey and Timothy J. Biblarz are emphatically in favor of gay marriage and child-rearing. Being honest scholars, though, they could not accept the tendentious spin that others in their field have put on the available research. They deny that the studies show "no difference" between children raised in gay and lesbian homes and those raised in heterosexual homes...

Biblarz and Stacey examined 21 studies of "lesbigay" couples' children compared with heterosexual parents' children. While all of the researchers had claimed to find "no difference" in outcomes between the two groups, Biblarz and Stacey disagree. There are statistically significant differences in gender identity, sexual experimentation and promiscuity...

More children being denied fathers, things are only going to get worse. These people make me sick, they're so incredibly selfish.

[bereanway]

"some 9 million children in America have at least one gay parent"

I would call that a highly dubious claim at best. Sounds like more gay propaganda, or, being more of an artsy bunch they really do have problems with math.

[L.N. Smithee]

Chalk up another slice of evidence backing up the Pew Research Center study about media bias.

[beckett]

In my view it's gay parenting that has the strongest potential to bring gay marriage and the gay family down, but it will take a few decades for meaningful data, and, perhaps more importantly, meaningful anecdotal evidence, to percolate through the culture. The kids/guinea pigs in the great gay experiment are going to have a lot to say once they reach adulthood, and a goodly portion of them will be talking about identity crisis, confusion, pain, anger and shame.

The pollyannas who claim "no difference" today are difficult to refute. They control the research money. The population they claim to speak for is still usually quite young and certainly still quite small. But in a few decades pollyanna researchers will be replaced by a large population of adult "children" of gays who will speak for themselves. It will be very interesting to hear what they have to say.

Many lesbian couples also consider their children's well-being before they conceive, including the impact of not having a male role model in the home.

THIS IS PURE BRAVO SIERRA!!! The only thing these selfish, sexually depraved people think about is THEMSELVES!! They want to prove so badly that they can be "normal" that they will mess up the lives of children (who are nothing more than window dressing!)!

Couples also worry that their children would be teased at school or the playground.

Right! If they really cared about that, these sexual psychopaths wouldn't have the children! This wouldn't be an issue if they could bear their OWN children (without the use of a THIRD PARTY like they MUST do!)!

[searchandrecovery]

Can't wait till these little freaks (the children of gay "couples") grow up and start tellin' their maladjusted tales. Ain't enough Ritalin in the world to keep the truth from coming out, and it ain't gonna be pretty.

CHOOSING A DONOR

I heard of a scam in the Asheville area several years ago. Some homosexual women would seduce a man with a well paying job and get pregnant, then they would sock him for child support to support the homosexual "couple" raising the child.
