    Did you choose your parents?

    Take a look around ...all those heterosexuals have created a really screwed up, dysfunctional and hateful society.

    Well all I can say is this, my experiences growing up were less than peachy. 2 people that you thought would have made great parents together, hated each other behind the scenes.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is that I know many gay people who would make much better parents than some parents I have encountered. We try to teach children to accept people for who they are and embrace people's differences. Just because someone is gay, does not mean that they will discuss their sex lives openly with their kids or encourage them to be gay. You are either gay or your not.

    I don't see how that should even be an issue. Any couple that can provide a caring, loving home to a child should be allowed to raise one.

    I have been a Social Worker for many years. Gay adoption is not legal here in Florida....yet. I would truly like children to live in a loving environment whether it be hetero or gay. So many people disagree with me on this....but I stick to my beliefs.....Loving homes versus abusive homes. So many children are removed temporarily while their parents try to get their lives in order. Children sometimes find stability in Foster care - only to be returned to the chaos of their parents. How does this benefit any child?
    I don't believe that a child raised by gays makes the child gay. There is a long process to adopting...doesn't happen overnight. I want Florida to allow loving gay people to be able to adopt children in order to provide much needed stability and loving homes.

    And you think that abusive homosexual households do not exist?

    This is an excuse, not a reason. Look around society and let me know how many model parents are walking around who are embarrassments and terrible examples for their children. Yet because in this instance, it's based on sexual preference, you claim this is ok? I call nonsense.

    Be afraid Godfather! wasnt it you that said the other day that sex will always need to be between a man and a woman to propagate our species? ;)

    "Science fiction authors and scientists themselves have speculated for generations that the human male is unnecessary, and that genetic material could just as well be exchanged between women, eliminating the male sex altogether. If that sounds far-fetched, keep in mind that this feat has already been achieved, and reproduced multiple times, in mice."

    can wait til your lesbian daughter brings home her lover and child.


    im speaking hypothetically of course at this point but dont say it wont/cant happen, cause you dont know... but you should at least be open minded enough to consider theres a chance it might. there are gay people everywhere and many many more yet to be born.... so look out cause you just might find yourself living with one... or two. ;)8-)

    So being male and female gives you the right to have children seems to be the only requirement to bring a child into this world.
