Gay parenthood

They disbanded at least for the time being. Religious bigotry got out of hand in Croatia. They went either underground and/or out of site.

Ah. Well, I'd love it if you could PM me as much info on them as you can. I'm very curious about their teachings and beliefs. :)

Now I won't derail the thread anymore. Haha.

Because it's inconceivable that a 8 year old boy thinks of his hay parents making out in a bed. and I said making out. Not to mention having sex

But it's entirely conceivable. All you have to do is past you post-breakup bigotry and notice that kids walk in on their parents all the time, which is loads worse.

Given that I have a gynocentric vision of life, it is very very hard for me to consider two gay men as parents.
It's like stealing something from the sacred concept of motherhood.
By creating a family only made up of male parents, they destroy the sacred concept of motherhood and femininity.
It's like they told their child that woman plays no role in life. Woman is just a uterus for rent.
You cannot separate motherhood from parenthood. All right...one thing is traumatic events like widowed men who grow up alone their children.
another thing is to create this situation artificially.

Is it? I think you are underestimating children - and parents, come to think of it.

It may or may not be. It will all depend on whether the child has access to motherhood.

And before you ask, no, it does not really have anything to do with whether there is a woman among the parents. Trust me.

In case I'm not clear, tell me and I will explain why.

That may or may not happen. It will depend entirely on what kind of environment the child has access to. And to a point, on how the parents themselves behave.

Quite frankly, the odds are better for the child with gay parents, other facts being unknown. There will be more care and less reckless assumptions floating around.


It's like they told their child that woman plays no role in life. Woman is just a uterus for rent.

Oh, come on. Are we talking about some fantasy land where children are raised without even learning that women exist?

You really should not, on that much we agree. It is too bad that so many hetero couples do just that.

Gynocentrism: centrality of woman

It seems to me that if anything gay couples are more likely to be careful about giving children access to good role models. You should not presume so much about them.

I see your point.

I think what is being missed is that a lot of gay guys have vagina phobia..because its a vagina...on a woman...and they dont like it. Its ew.

Can you blame them? Look at it! If that thing crawled out of a spaceship you'd run for the hills!

I totally agree. That's why lots of gay men don't mind kissing women on their mouth...whereas they are afraid of penetrating them.
By the way the exact name is eurotophobia

The problem with most of these people is they seem not have actually taken the time to learn the teachings and philosophy of the Church. They seem to just have inherited mores about sexuality and behaviour from the contemporary cultural zeitgeist and applied these to Church teachings they only seem to know in passing.

When was the last time such cafeteria Catholics actually seriously addressed the writings of the Fathers or the Angelic Doctor on Natural Law teaching of these issues?
It doesn't matter. I'm not stating whether those Catholics are "right" or "wrong" or whatever, I'm describing the current state of affairs.

Personally as a former Catholic and one who has read plenty about it, I don't much care one way or the other.

I think that they find a male anus more reassuring.

I would tell them: if you feel the urge to stick your penis into a hole, go for women. Men don't have vaginas. What you think is a vagina, it isn't.
What is this even.

The problem would be solved if all states gave the right to adopt to individuals, that is, celibate people.
If a person is gay, they have to right to adopt all the children they want.
But I don't understand why a gay couple should be considered as if they were two parents. It is not something logical. Because parenthood by definition, implies a man and a woman. Not two men.
When there isn't this kind of couple, there is just celibacy. Individuals. Individuals who deserve the right to adopt.
It doesn't matter whether they are gay, straight, single or not single.

two gay people are not a parental couple.

Why, of course it is. Parenthood is defined by adoption, not by biological conception.

Not by any definition that I choose to lend importance to, no it does not.

Celibacy? How does it enter this picture?

Individuals. Individuals who deserve the right to adopt.
It doesn't matter whether they are gay, straight, single or not single.

I just disagree on the fact that the law should state that two gay people are a parental couple.

Law should acknowledge the facts, shouldn't it?

Law acknowledges that a straight couple can be a parental couple, because it deals with a potential mother and a potential father.

the word father (or mother) is incompatible with the gay world.
Outside the straight couple there are just individuals. And individuals can be adoptive parents: a celibate person is a parent. Neither a mother nor a father.
I don't understand why it would bother people.
If a gay person wants to adopt a child, they can do it. And they can raise this child with their own partner.

But this partner is a third who has nothing to do with the adoption. It's just the partner of the adopting person.

Uh yeah. Just like two dudes will kiss on a dare but won't do oral. Weird huh?

I think we all get it by now. You think women are necessary because otherwise you'd be considered expendable. Guess what? Gay marriage works. Gay adoption works. Gay families work. All without a mother.

Uh, so? Law used to acknowledge that "whites" could own people.

What law acknowledges, what is true, and what is fair are three entirely different things.

Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot?!?

Surely you jest.

Have you... ever met a real family?

This is in very poor taste, I hope you realize.

I believe that Hay is presuming that celibate people are single and that all single people are celibate. Which is strange and inaccurate, but this appears to be the trend.
