| Maryjane,
Your conclusion that because I was not tempted into homosexuality in my 20's and therefore gays adopting would not turn children gay is flawed for two reasons.
1. Just because I was not tempted does not mean that others might not be. This is perhaps how bisexual people become bisexual. They are probably weaker in their ability to resist certain things. Like some people might not steal unless encouraged by someone else.
2. Children are much more influencable than adults. They are learning right from wrong and that sense can be warped or damaged by influences during their formative years. It is a statistical fact ( and every parent knows this by experience) that if you as a parent do not want a child to do a certain behavior, like smoking for example, then the parents should not do that behavior. Parents must set the example by their own behavior because children have a natural tendency to emulate the behavior of their parents. Since homosexuality is a behavior then that behavior becomes more likely to occur among children with openly gay guardians. |
