Yes good point. I’m not in touch currently with homosexual people but my nephew who has sexual moral laxity has 4 children to 3 different mothers. His life and his children’s lives are in ruins because there is no stable home.
Being promiscuous is not really the same as being gay, though.
Just like it's not the same as being straight. Sure gay and straight people can be promiscuous, but it's not some inherent fundamental part of either sexual orientation (or indeed bisexuality.)
So what does having multiple children to different partners have to do with anything, except paint monogamous relationships as ideal for raising children? Which is usually supported by most people, I'm sure. But what does that have to do with being gay? How do they connect?
These days it’s free to enter or leave any relationship in the name of freedom so that can and does break up and hurt families and wreck children’s lives.
Well one could use condoms and you know act like mature adults.
Also I'm pretty sure polygamy is a thing that exists and has done for a long time. Usually in remote religious communities. Are you arguing that religious offshoots (usually of the Christian variety) that practice polygamy are also damaging to children? I mean I'm not sure of the data, so it's possible.
We must not only think of the right of the adult to enjoy sexual pleasure but also of the rights of children to a proper home environment of a mother and father as nature designed.
Lol, mother and father only households are like barely 100 years old. Even in the West it wasn't uncommon for parental responsibility to be shared among multiple generations. "As nature designed?" You just described a very young (relatively speaking) model adopted randomly by humans, which was more to do with disease, changes in life expectancy and resources than any real consideration to what is and isn't "natural." The whole Nuclear Family is but a mere baby of a model for raising kids. Hardly some big statement on nature.
In the East this multi generational household is still relatively in affect and thousands of years old. And probably more natural, if you like, since many of our ape relatives in nature actually use this model. Actually many of my own family who are second or even third generation immigrants still hold to this model, albeit a tad more loosely than their forefathers. And they too lament the lack of respect of parents, grandparents or uncles/aunties among the youth, though usually directed towards the "white man." Usually.
I find their sense of community a tad stronger and more tight nit than the West's ideas, but that's really just personal preference.
I think sexual laxity breaks up the family which I consider to be the bedrock of society and with broken homes it eventually affects society. I came from a broken home due to sexual desires of my father wanting to have a fling with other women. This disrupted my entire life. I ended up in a boys home and got a step father who’s brother sexually abused me as he was a homosexual resulting in me being unable to have children. After my home was broken up I tried to suicide 6 times, drugs - mainly sleeping tablets.
That is an awful experience. I'm sorry you went through that.
But do you not think that maybe fighting/arguing against kids in loving homes just because both carers of the same sex might be actually depriving them of a loving environment just as you were denied?
Just something to ponder.
My whole life was ruined by my father’s desire for sex rather than remaining with my mother. My nephew and his children their lives are becoming decimated by the fact they have 3 mothers that all hate each other.
Well broken homes are indeed toxic to children. Again not sure how that relates to homosexuality specifically though. They're completely different things.
Sex can make us compromise our allegiances, betray faithfulness which is why I believe that it should be only between a married man and woman as it can be the cause of untold suffering if a man betrays his wife for sex with another woman, so marriage to me is extremely important to protect.
Well monogamy is indeed something to strive for. Not sure how it's suddenly different if both members are of the same sex. Cheating in a relationship still hurts people, gay straight or otherwise. Seems more a human problem than a specific gay or straight problem. Also again not sure how making marriage only a straight thing helps the situation. Wouldn't encouraging monogamy in all relationships be a much better way to discourage broken homes?
With homosexual tendencies they can break up marriages too leaving the children in a once stable marriage without a home and family.
Well not to be "that guy" but can I just point out that if people (particularly of the religious kind) didn't pressure gay people to be in heterosexual relationships to begin with, this would not be a problem in the first damned place?
This is like forcing someone to live like a child all their lives and then blame the very concept of childhood when they are unable to live like a mature adult in the real world, when they come of age.
They're not really at fault here.
And in a same sex marriage the children are deprived of either a mother or a father.
Well depends really. Not all situations are the same, just saying.
I can’t imagine not having my wonderful mother. It would be an injustice to me and even cruelty to force me not to have a mother or a father which is what a same sex marriage is when children are adopted.
Actually, studies consistently show that the children of same sex parents do just as well or even better than their counterparts in opposite sex parents.

Also sorry for it being Australian, Google tends to isolate searches. Damned algorithms.
Also kids have one upped you here. I happen to have a few nieces and nephews with gay parents, they seem pretty well adjusted and understand what "roles" if you like, each parent fulfills for them.
So apart from sexual pleasure, a same sex marriage denies children if adopted, the right of a mother or a father and also cannot procreate. So I think we must consider the rights of the children too not just our pleasures right?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
