Thread Name: BS: Why you don't like gay marriage
Subject: RE: BS: Why you don't like gay marriage
The idea that because a gay couple can't make a baby, they are therefore incapable of nurturing one is just beyond belief, daylia.

Of course there will be problems in the schoolyard, and if not over something like this, then over something else, like who has the coolest clothes, or who's fat, or who's a nerd, etc. If you want to talk about nature, it's certainly in the nature of adolescents to give each other a hard time.

The thought that one's sexual preferences has anything whatsoever to do with one's capacity to be a loving, supportive parent is so off the mark.

When oh when will we just accept each other as fellow humans, all capable and sometimes sadly incapable of raising healthy youngsters?

I have quite a few gay friends now who are raising kids, and they have just as many-but no more-problems as any other parents.

The kids are coping quite well, as long as they don't have to worry about well-meaning folks like you.
