Why homosexuals should not adopt or teach children

I did, however, attempt to cheat on my wife one time. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get past Ms. Coulter’s bodyguard.

OMG! The exast same thing happened to me! Small world.

You'd think it was commons sense NOT to have homos as role models or near kids. GEESH!

[ClearCase_guy]

I now realize that the American Psychological Association was right when it previously classified homosexuality as a mental illness in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.

Adams is great. His further point that there is nothing wrong with discriminating against people with a mental illness is right on. Crazy people can (perhaps) hold a lot of different jobs. Teaching children is not one of them.

Does anyone have a cite to the 11th Distric Court opinion regarding upholding the ban on homosexuals adopting children?

[nmh]

"There is nothing wrong with discriminating against a class of people who are afflicted with an emotional or mental illness that is relevant to the completion of a given task – especially if that task is crucial to the well-being of the society at large. That is why I am opposed to the idea of gays adopting or teaching our children."

They are very EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED and ACT out this EMOTIONAL CONFUSION through SEX and their relationships. To be "gay" is to be VERY ANGRY, TOUCHY and UNHAPPY. They are vicious people to an extreme when criticized in any form.

Hmmm,

Should schools be LEGALLY REQUIRED to disclose if their child is being exposed to homosexuals?

[Free Baptist]

Who is this that has announced their bid for the U.S. Presidency?

[xenophiles]

...And now you realize why I am opposed to gays adopting or teaching our children.

Umm... because some of them made foul threats against you? Because they used to be considered mentally ill?

If I wrote essays opposing Judaism, or stating that black people should not be allowed to adopt white children, or that women aren't fit to serve on juries, I would most likely get some pretty vicious hate mail from Jewish, black and female readers, respectively. That wouldn't prove much, even though various authorities have stated in the past that Jews are evil, blacks are violent and women are hysterical.

You'll have to come up with a better argument than "because I've succeeded in pissing them off".

Almost the same thing happened to me...fortunately, Ann's bodyguard stopped her from getting too close, while I told her, "sorry Ann...I can't accept your offers. Stay in touch, though...we can still be friends."

[LiteKeeper]

I have been reading Mike Adams for a couple of years...he is great!

[Antoninus]

Excellent column. Anyone who has criticized the homo-promo movement in a public way knows exactly what this guy is talking about. They'll try to ruin your life any way they can and have absolutely no compunction about it.

Regardless of what APA has to say, same-sex attraction is a mental disorder--and a symptom of a cluster of other conditions. Such individuals should be absolutely disqualified from teaching children and/or adopting.

See, you are using a fallacy of logic to justify your position. Being of Jewish decent is NOT an option. Being black is NOT an option. Being gay IS an option. I can prove it by showing many examples of gay people going back to healthy relationships. Other than Michael Jackson, have you ever seen a black man change colors? A jewish person can denounce his religion, but by blood they are still Jewish, like it or not.

Next in line....sex with animals because they truely love thier dog and they are being denied the RIGHT to enjoy their dog sexually.

Go ahead, bring on the "I was born this way" and "God made me this way" tripe. Every person has their crosses to bear. God made everyone, but their choices to follow their "Free Will Sins" move them closer or further from him. It is CLEAR from every society known to mankind...this is a filthy position to try to justify all in the name of being PC.

All that is their choice, just don't expect special consideration and exceptions because of their unhealthy faults. The sexual disease rate among gays is much, much higher than general population. The casual sex, multiple partners is also way out of whack with the norm.

Flame away

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

I do not agree with this article. In particular, I don't think gays should be banned from teaching. Let me first state that I am not gay. It is wrong to consider all gay persons as pedophiles. Also, many pedophiles are not gay.
I had teachers in High School and College that never came out and said they were gay, but they were not married, and all appearances were pointing in that direction. These were excellent teachers, and I doubt seriously if they ever tried to abuse any child.

Ban pedophiles, not gays.

As for adoption, that is more complicated. I would be more concerned about that, but in my state, only one person would be able to adopt (no gay couple). In some cases, it might be better than the foster home shuffle.

[BJClinton]

While what you said is technically correct, you're equivocating a religion, ethnicity and gender with where one wants to stick their willie. Hardly the same.

[ivyleaguebrat]

No.. you're using a fallacy of logic. His point had nothing to do with the level of mutability of the attributes involved. It also had nothing to do with whether being gay is just an "unhealthy fault."

His point was that the author makes no real arguments in favor of his position, except "because I've succeeded in pissing them off."

Whether or not you agree with his arguments, you can still call him on his stunted writing and juvenile reasoning.

[ivyleaguebrat]

For clarity.. in my first and second paragraphs the pronoun "his" refers to xenophiles, in the third it refers to the author of the column.

[jack_napier]

UNC-Greensboro is very gay. Literally something like 50% of the male students are homosexual.

However, if you're a straight young man, you can be ugly and dumb and still have a harem, since 70% of the student population is female. Even after accounting for lesbians, you've got about 4:1 odds. I used to know a smoking hot young lady from my hometown who went there who always complained about not having a boyfriend.

Mike Adams is a very sarcastic writer. Look a little deeper into what he wrote please. The "because I've succeeded in pissing them off." is a good place to start.

Oh yeah, just a minor thing to think about. Everyone knows when you "piss off" a liberal....you're on to something good.
