Quote by: whoracle honestly, jerk, i'd say that's a noble cause. i'd also regretfully say that the reason most people have been and are against it but won't admit to is that they know those children will be chided and mistreated in school and/or other situations. adolescense is hard enough without any added flaws (whether said flaws are imagined or not). does a child deserve to carry that weight for no reason other than its circumstance?
i'm not saying i's right. i'm saying its reality.
at the same time, any family no matter what it's core components, is perfectly capable of rearing children. the question is - until our society is more tolerant - do we trade the mental wellbeing of an innocent for the politically correct rights of a couple who cannot breed?
there was a time not so long ago that coming from a broken home was enough to classify a child as an outcast. and as i'm sure you're all aware, that's no longer the case. i'm sure the same will be true of this. in time. until then it is a sad dilemma because there is a large segment of people who will never *stop worrying about sexual preferences*. that will take a few more generations.
my honest belief is that a gay couple who often wait years for a child they desperately desire are often better parents than heteros. the problem is, that it doesn't change the opinion of the general population. and judging by the way they shot down gay marriage i'd say their opinion is pretty clear. |
I guess it depends what you're trying to raise- a high school prom king or a future success in the real world. But I totally see your point that could ruin the future success if such emotional breaks occur due to the homosexual parent teasing.
