A child needs a mother and a father. If an irresponsible guy won't stand up and be a father to his child, then it is neglect. I don't think it's a good idea to let gay couples buy children, but that's my opinion, which is what was asked in this thread. I don't agree with abortion either, but I don't worry about things out of my control. If a child is raised by a gay couple and is happy, good for the child. I wouldn't want that life, though.
You are wrong about this. Kids are a byproduct of sex. Heterosexuals have sex not only to have kids.
Hetersexuals who can't have kids because of medical problems adopt to become parents. You really need to differentiate the two.
You are hung up on this havng sex thing when that has nothing to do with any of this discussion.
I think you fit perfectly into that category Fester, you hate fags, admit it, you are afraid of them as well. Its obvious if you hate something or fear it you are not going to see the big picture and you are going to make whatever excuse fit into your argument of why is it wrong to be gay and marry or raise children. You are just biased! Me? I dont have a dog in this fight, I can see the big picture. I dont hate or love gays, I've met gay people that I like as a person/friend and others that I dislike.
You got me totally wrong. I don't hate gays, and I'm not afraid of them. I'm an honest person, and as I shared earlier in this thread or the gay thread in the political thread, I opened up my one bedroom apartment for a gay guy to live with me for a while, while he was out of work, and didn't have a place to live for a while.
In this thread alone you have likened gay behavior to bestiality as well as saying homosexuality should be labeled as a mental illness. Further, you have said that the gays are ruining modern day society and also thrown in some very vulgar comments aimed at belittling their sexual behaviors.
You may not be a homophobe in real life but in this thread you have done nothing to make people think otherwise.
Then why if you that honorable thing stated above are so focused on bashing them on this thread. One thing is not agreeing and another very different one humiliating. I think you are an honest person, I buy that, Ive seen you post for 7 fuckin years. I just don't get why decisions made by others in their PERSONAL life affect you so much? Is just mind-boggling. I take the libertarian Ron Paul approach and think government shouldn't be fucking with what you do with your personal life as long as it doesn't harm others. That includes gays and drug users. There is just not proof that gay parents can't be as good as normal parents, kids just want to be loved, listened and understood. Yes of course gay people have abused kids; so has straight people, married parents, school and high school teachers, priests, coaches, police officers and clowns. There's no label that defines what kind of person you are.
If you've read my posts for 7 years, than instead of writing this blather above, you would have noticed that in this thread, I said I think that gays should have "civil unions" that give them every single tax benefit that heterosexuals have. I just don't think that we should change the definition of marriage, period.
