I got that u didn't want Tu judge etc. From ur first post..... I was just being curious Thts y I posted the discussion in the first place... but okay thanks for commenting
I personally feel its wonderful. Anyone who has love in their heart, and can guild someone towards being a honest person, then I say go for it. I went to the gay parade last yr nd saw so many same sex couples with their children nd I was just in love. To see so many ppl support one another and the love that they have, its amazing
N the bible is too much. I'm a baptist christian, but I eat pork, got preggers outta wedlock, n I stole my besties sweat suit lst week. Bible says a lot but who really follows it to the letter.
The Bible states to "hate the sin, love the sinner" meaning no matter what sin the person is committing (be it lying, or being a homosexual... all sins are equal in Gods eyes) we are supposed to love them and respect them even if we don't agree with their choices. The whole message is truly about love anyways
I believe as long as some one is fit to be a parent they can but if its same sex I think it would be harder on the parent and the child because kids are so mean these days so it might be a little more difficult but as long as there happy and healthy anything is possible
I think its beautiful when 2 people no matter what sex love eachother enough to raise a child and share their love with that child. If its 2 females or 2 males doesnt matter as long as the child is loved and has a good home!
@mommy2_armani I don't think it would be much harder on the family, honestly. I think in most cases, by the time a same sex couple has kids, they will have settled in an area where they are (hopefully) accepted or (at least) tolerated. The teens and kids that I know see absolutely nothing wrong with homosexuality (with the exception of one fundamental family) and so wouldn't use that as fodder to pick on one of their peers. Then again, if a kid is going to be picked on it doesn't matter if they have gay or straight parents--other kids will find something to use to hurt them, that's just how it works. Kids are no more mean today than they've ever been, the difference is that we as a society have become more aware of and less tolerant of bullying, esp since technology makes it so pervasive.
I just wanted to say how happy I am with this post! I just woke up, & saw how this post went & I'm so happy! My ex husband & his in laws are christian fundamentalists & anytime I wanted good in depth convo I would get preached to. Because they truly believe the bible is the exact word of god & what it says goes, no question. Always frustrated me! Not that I disagree with it, I just think that being able to read the bible & interpret the bible are two different things. I normally take a devil advocates point of view because I love knowing how & why people think things. Y'all have just made my day!
honestly, to me it doesnt matter, if you love and support that child or children then thats all that matters. Society fears same sex parents will have a higher tendency or sexually assulting thier children, but theres no law against straight people who are sexual offenders having children. every one is equal in my eyes, same sex, straight, black, white, or any other race, religion or ethnic background. as long as you love the child, and raise them to be a respectful addition to society, then it shouldnt matter. but if your a lowlife, lazy, abusive, parent, mentally, physically, emotionally, neglectful.... to me your scum, and dont deserve the wonderful bliss of being a parent!!!
I personally think as long as you are fit to be parents then you can. Yes I've heard the expression "god made adam and eve, not adam and steve". To me its bologna. my hubby has a lesbian for an aunt (who raised him practically) and an uncle who's gay too. I love them both. God may have made some women infertile but thats because there are some children who have no home. People who cannot concieve should be able to adopt our find other ways if they so choose. just my opinion.
My mother is a lesbian so I've grown up around it my whole life. Kids are cruel, I had to change high schools because I was getting threatened and made fun of daily for it. After everything I've been through I still believe that there isn't anything wrong with it. If you love someone and find happiness then I am happy for you. I'm glad that its becoming more accepting and kids who are raised by gay/lesbians don't have to go through the cruelty that I went through. Of course I've been out of high school for 13 years.
@brookiesbaby I truly think times are changing, and I am so grateful for that as well. My nephew and his friends (they're 14) told me that they would def call someone a fag, but not if they were gay because then it would be a personal attack and not just some random word to throw around. I loved their logic, their such dorks. But still, I think that says a lot abt how kids respond to homosexuality--that making fun of someone who's gay isn't ok. Obviously that's anecdotal and not how everyone is, but still. At least it's a step in the right direction.
I don't believe anyone has the right to say whom we love and whom we don't. In my eyes, love isn't about gender. I am the GAY woman in a deeply committed relationship with another woman. We have an 8 year old whom I've raised since she was four. we have a 2 1/2 yr old we conceived and raised together. I'm 5 months pregnant with my 1st our second. Our kids are wonderful! We have taught them to love everyone no matter what! We are financially stable. Everybody has the right to bring children into this world and raise them as they see fit.
It's not my place to judge what's "right" or "wrong"... that's God's place! All I can say is.a loving parent has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
I have nothing against gay people as they are well..... People too lol but I dont agree with same sex marriages or same sex raising a child. I think homosexuality is a sin and im a strong believer in God. I just dont go around bashing them and treating them wrong because I am no one to judge. I have a few friends who are gay. They just mock me and tell me to pray for them lol I do! I know for a fact that a person is not born gay and maybe circumstances in life lead them to certain life styles. Like I said I dont judge we are all humans and God loves us none the less
@mommy2beagain some people feel they have been gay for as long as they can remember, meaning at a very very yung age. Wat would the cirumstances be to "lead" them to be homosexual?
@proudmommie627 ok well this is what I have been taught and what made sense to me.... Sorry for any misspelling my fone is acting up. Well a child is born with full innocence and with no sense from right or wrong right? And you teach that child as the grow what you see fit is right and what is not ex. Lying,stealing,hitting and what not. You notice a 2yr old those not know the difference between certain things until you start to teach them and they get it as the get older. Ok well this is what I mean by what I said you cant be born gay because when your born you now nothing about nothing meaning that as you grow and you are surrounded by different people and life styles your innocense is affected and these feelings develop. Or as many extremist say the devil confuses your heart and mind. Makes alot of sense to me. But hey thats just me
@jenn_929 thank you! I'm not ashamed of who I am and I will not hide it. My being gay has nothing to do with relationships with men in my past. My family will tell you they knew when I was 8. What relationship could have "changed" me at that age? @mommy2beagain maybe you should check your "facts" sweetheart because it's been proven that people ARE born gay. Although I will say that for some I do believe its a choice, but honestly who would "choose" a lifestyle that is so hard to live at times.
@mommy2beagain ok wat about a 2 year old who grows up in a christian home and is taught homosexuality is a sin by everyone that he or she knows but still grows up to be attracted to the same sex?
Btw my parents didn't "teach" me to be gay either. In fact they were against it and tried to discourage me. You can't help who you love. I also didn't know any gay people at all growing up. I was raised christian. I'm mormon by their books. Religion doesn't choose whom I love.
@mommy2beagain i for one am not a follower of the bible so i dnt kno too much about it but as someone else said isnt premarital sex a sin? Is it unnatural to have a child out wen u are unwedded?
@jessica28 my facts are in the bible. I believe the bible over anything but thats just me. Im not here offend anyone. You should care less of others opinions if your happy with your life then thats all that should matter to you its YOUR life you live it how you want. But past experiences and also some people I know have made me truly believe that what I said is indeed a fact even if some dont think so.
