soon2be momma d (1241.5 days ago) I am going to try to be calm in my response - but ignorance and judgmental opinions really upset me... I too am a very active Christan and fully support 2 same sex parents! I also support same sex marriage if anyone cares. My husband and I were friends with individual gay people and still are and some have gotten married. I say that to let you know we have close friendships with homosexual couples. I would like to SING FROM THE ROOFTOPS that they do NOT choose their lifestyle! One of my dearest friends was raised as I was in a strict Christan home and the church and his family refused to accept that he was gay (after it took him years to accept it himself) and he was prepared to try and live without a companion of any gender to remain `pure` for God and honor his family, yet he couldn`t change what he was. He became so depressed and met someone and immediately he was happier - every human needs companionship and love! His family disowned him and he felt his life fell apart and he ended up committing suicide because of all these judgmental ignorant people! People cannot help who they are attracted too or who they fall in love with. We CANNOT hold homosexuals to a different standard than we do ourselves... it makes me cringe when I think of being with another woman in a sexual way - but I didn`t choose to be that way, I AM that way. Also, if a couple is committed to each other and wants to give a child a loving and supportive home - why not!?!?!?!? Think of all these poor children who need homes, why deny them because someone is narrow-minded. Same sex homes can provide just as as stable environment as opposite sex couples can - perhaps even more so. Look at all these children being removed from dangerous environments where the parent is single, doing drugs, can`t keep a job - I would prefer the child be in a same sex home being loved and provided for then in a situation like that! Sexual preference doesn`t impact parenting abilities. Ask yourself this: if I like to be tied up during sex or if I like anal sex does that affect how I parent and love my children? HELL NO it doesn`t!
PrOuDaRmYwIfE (1241.7 days ago) I am def for it. My mother has raised me and has done an excellent job. She did not choose to be gay and neither did my gay uncle. You cant choose who you love, it just happens. I loved the way I was raised, I wouldn`t have wanted it any other way! As long as they can provide for their children, and love them, then they will be great parents no matter what their sexual preference. :-)
Poppy~Ella~Rae (1242.8 days ago) u cant choose to be gay god some ppl are crazy. straight ppl dont choose to be straight its just who u fancy and are atracted to, a gay paerson cant be physically attracted to the opposite sex they dont wake up one day and think ooo im going to be gay from now on. personally i think gay people would make great parents probably better then some of the stuck in there ways ppl iv hear and met.
ibaheir2dathrone (1243.3 days ago) Mamamia-- hello to you too! lol, I am not naive. I have gay people in my family and I love them. However I don`t condone what they are doing. By the way, yes you do choose. I have been told that (by gay people) So no I am not naive just stating what I have been told by those who are living the life. My eyes are open, My Bible has everything to do with what I believe in. I will not apologize for believing in God or his word and all that comes with it. (by the way, I worked with and know boys who were what society would call feminine. Does not mean they will be gay. Just because they don't run around like little brutes doesn't mean they will sleep with Ken instead of Barbie) Have a good day.
shootinstarzzz (1243.4 days ago) I feel that if a same sex couple can provide a loving home for a child then yes they should....I dont see anything wrong in them raising a child and in fact have a few friends who are same sex couples and thier kids are happy, well adjusted, caring children and one even has a daughter who is older and she turned out to be a wonderful person who does alot of good in her community.
I feel that if that couple can provide a loving home for a child then they should have that same chance another couple would have and not be judged because there`s two dads or two mom`s instead of a mother and father.
I feel that if there`s a child that needs a home, needs someone to love and take care of them then if a same sex couple wants to raise that child and can raise them then why not? why should taht child be denied a adoptive home?
I am also a Christian, I am straight , I am a woman who prefers men and am with a man if anyone would like to know. I dont judge others, if they do something or live a way I personally would not live then who I am to say they are wrong, it`s thier choice, we all have different preferances.
sadielady (1243.4 days ago) the bible is outdated. honestly, ughhh im not even gonna get started.
mamamia76 (1243.5 days ago) People do not CHOOSE to be gay. I grew up with a little boy that lived behind me and we always knew, from about the time he was 3, that he was gay. Did you choose to be straight? No, that is how you were born. But you ARE choosing to be naive. That`s MHO. OPen your eyes, there is a whole big world out there that has NOTHING to do with the bible.
ibaheir2dathrone (1243.5 days ago) Spencer-- I am against both. (yes I know people will say something. It is mho. and she asked!) It is different, imo gay is wrong. I am a Christian and I also believe that sex before marraige is wrong. Now, i have friends who had children before marriage I don`t condem them the Sin isn`t in the Child it was in the act. As far as gay, you make that choice. You can choose what you want. It isn`t like your race, you had no choice in your skin color you do in who you lay with. I know gay folks, they chose that. They like what they like. I don`t judge them I know what my Bible says, and it`s wrong.
GreekGoddess26 (1243.5 days ago) I am for it all the way. who am i to judge!!! I love the gay community
spencerbaby1 (1243.6 days ago) one cannot help who they fall in love with. people say having two loving parents are better than one, so why are people so against same sex couples and are okay with and fully support single mothers or fathers.
tto (1243.6 days ago) Homosexuality isn`t contagious. Although I don`t agree with the choice of choosing a same sex partner, I don`t think it impacts a person`s ability to parent.
