Adult Children Speak Out About Same-Sex Parents

Oh,then an occasional beating is okay? What about mental abuse?

There IS "reasoned" thinking here;it's just NOT coming from you.

You're the one,after all,who suggested that 15 year olds should marry and be mothers,with no chance of divorce.You're the one who claimed that most of us had grandmothers,who married and had kids at 15.I bet that I'm a lot older than you are and my beloved maternal grandmother,who was born in 1895 got married less than a month and a 1/2 shy of her 21 birthday,was in the NORMAL age range for that time period.It was her mother,born in 1869 who married at 23,who married a wee bit later than was "normal" for her time.

But do run away...you can't win this debate with your weird protestations.

He's starting to remind me of the "fundamentalist" insurance cheat in Washington with the barefoot wife and daughters.

[nopardons]

You just nailed it! LOL

And he highjacked the thread to boot.

I agree, that homosexual couples who adopt children are absolutely selfish. IMHO they are trying to make themselves "normal".

Kids have it hard enough with peer pressure, much less being adopted and having to explain by no choice of their own that they have two same-sex parents.

One travisty that happened in my niece's school to one of these poor kids, was not only were the "parents" same-sex, but the one guy was a cross-dresser. He showed up dressed in full drag as a volunteer for the class field-trip. The school was taken off-guard and I am sure the poor kid, by no choice of his own, will never quite be the same.

Children need to be protected, and this is the worse kind of child abuse an innocent can experience in life.

Yes but we don't always get what we wish for. That is my point. She's already born and grown up.

I have a cousin like that. Her father died six months before she was born and her twin brother was stillborn. She just cannot seem to get past it. It's an awful sad thing to deal with, but at some point you have to say, "It happened. Ok. Now I move on."

She seems stuck on, "But it REALLY sucks!" And it does, no doubt about it. There just is no answer for "Why?" But staying there, asking, "why?" forever doesn't move you forward.

Predatory sperm clinics ...

I think this can be classified as an oxymoron.

And why is the visual I keep getting of Monica Lewinsky? (2d time tonight - between berets and Predatory sperm clinics I should probably turn-in)

I have a Liberal friend that sympathizes with the gays, but he is not gay. We go round and round on this all the time. He says that he prefers the gays to be out in the open with their gayness (out of the closet, everyone knows). I tell him I would prefer NOT to know - stay in the closet. What they do in their own homes is their business, I suppose. But when they come out and try to IMPOSE the lifestyle on society is when I get bent out of shape. It's the "IN YOUR FACE" Gay Activism that I oppose vehemently. These "Gay Parades", insisting on the granting of Gay Marriage on society, and all that BS. Yeah, I guess I'm "intolerant", too.

I am opposed to Gay Marriage. If they want the same rights as being married, they can do that. It is called a "power of attorney". And it's cheap enough. Marriage is between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN !

"I agree, that homosexual couples who adopt children are absolutely selfish. IMHO they are trying to make themselves "normal"."


True, isn't it odd that the "play house" queers want to ingratiate themselves into the hetero image when it is they who rail against heteros so often. Often insulting refering to heteros as "breeders". Seem they are envious and jealous. Me thinks they doth protest too much.



"Queers, UNnatural and they always need a third party"
... or an all out orgie (blech) complete with plenty of sperm mixers and swizzle sticks. Lord deliver us from evil.

[Happy2BMe]

Thanks Meek, and I only have ONE question:

When is God GOING TO APOLOGIZE TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH?

[Smartass]

Sickening...

Cassidy's story is not science. It's just her own feelings.

Show's how far "science" has penetrated.

[Gabz]

Actually, my gay accountant is a Republican and she and her partner feel the same way this woman does about gays having children.

Every gay person, male or female, I know feels the same way as your accountant and this woman.

OTOH there are gay parent activists who claim they are better parents and role models for their children than my husband and I.....all because we happen to smoke cigarettes.

I'm danged glad I got divorced when I did.............I would probably be dead now if I hadn't.

"What God has joined together, let no man put asunder."

That only goes so far. And I sure as heck wished he had been banging the secretary, insteading of banging on my face.

I had never believed in divorce and grew up believing it was wrong. When I got married in 1984 I firmly believed in "Until do us part"....by 1988 I decided I didn't want it to be my death.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

[Gabz]

You know me well enough to know I am heterosexual as can be, however I do have a number of gay friends. The interesting thing about them all is that someone had to tell me they were gay because not a one of them is the "in your face" type.

And while most are in long term, monogomous relationships, they all oppose "gay marriage" and despise the "in your face" activists which they consider to be giving them a bad name.

[ValerieUSA]

I'm curious if there was a big age difference between Cassidy's mother and Pat.

[ValerieUSA]

DYI - do yourself it?

CS Lewis married a divorced woman and raised her son, who admired him greatly.
I think staying in a marriage when the covenant has been broken and is continually mocked is a travesty and dishonorable. I find nothing to admire about the Clinton's marriage - it is more damaging to the institution than a divorce would be, because a divorce would show some respect for the vows, and the seriousness of breaking them.
