Why should they have to? Because it beats not having any parents. Because it beats not having a stabile and safe home to live in.
So, you are saying that same sex couples are second best? It very much sounds like it. They are not second best, they shouldn't even be a consideration all the time stuff like this is being written about them.
In September of 2006, the Agape Press reported the following:
“ A survey by The Advocate, a homosexual magazine, revealed that promiscuity is a reality among homosexuals. The poll found that 20 percent of homosexuals said they had had 51-300 different sex partners in their lifetime, with an additional 8 percent having had more than 300.
Not the ones who neglect or beat their children.
Sadly, that is not true. Those children still love their parent despite the beatings
And at some point in most peoples’ lives, I think there’s a point when we realize our parents are just people, with the same flaws that everybody else has, just trying to do their best.
OK
Nobody is perfect. So there are no perfect parents.
That depends on how you are defining perfect. My mother was definitely perfect.
You’re asserting that gay parents are a burden on a child.
Yes I am. All the time there are children ready to tease and taunt children raised in a same sex home they will be a burden
First time parents don’t have any experience. But if you’re talking about experience in taking care of kids or babysitting or something, anybody can have that experience, regardless of sexual orientation or gender.
Ever heard of a
Maternal Instinct Here are 5 definitions that show what it is. Note that it relates to the biological mother of the child.
1. 19 Jan 2009 - By "maternal instinct," people mean a special bond between a mother and her child that is established at conception and that continues through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.
2. the natural tendency that a mother has to behave or react in a particular way around her child or children
3. A maternal bond (or motherly bond) is generally the relationship between a mother and her child. A maternal bond is typically associated with pregnancy and childbirth,
4. 19 Jan 2009 - It's a common belief that a mother should know what her baby needs; this is what is known as maternal instinct,
5. 18 Jan 2015 - If you take that definition as meaning that thematernal instinct is the desire to protect and care for your baby, then I had that kind of instinct.
Heterosexual people don’t have a leg up on parenting skills just by virtue of being heterosexual.
Agan, Ever heard of a
Maternal Instinct
They do that here in Canada do. My cousin had a nurse come to her house after she gave birth to her child as well. But that’s not the same thing as attending parenting classes or reading a pile of parenting books or something. They’re just making sure you can provide for the baby’s basic needs.
They get the parenting classes and there are plenty parenting books here.
But you didn’t pay attention to what I said. I said it doesn’t take any skill to carry out the act of procreation (i.e. it doesn’t take any special skills to have sex and make a baby). Anybody can do it.
Oh, I saw it there, I just did not see anything that I could respond to.
How can we be sure they pass the same tests as anybody else? What reason do you have to believe they are not held to the same standards as anyone else? Fear of repercussions? Come on.
My reason is because of the tactics that gay activists have used to get there own way, that has been supported by the gay community at large. That makes you wonder that if they are capable of that then what stops a gay person from bending the rules for another gay person.
Yes, and it’s an opinion that is backed by the evidence.
What evidence is there that "There’s no reason for same sex couples
not to raise children."
Like poppers and fisting? Come on.
Come on what? Are you denying that gays do not take poppers that assist in fisting?
I’ve addressed this recent study in another post. Why you think it trumps the other 59 studies indicating the opposite, I don’t know. Aside from confirmation bias, I can’t come up with anything.
Because those 59 have probably either been written by some who is gay or influenced by someone, like yourself, who is pro-gay. They are not without bias or bigotry, which makes them unreliable.
It sounds pretty selfish to me.
Well, that is neither here or there. it is expected.
Though to be fair, I haven’t heard many people say that the reason they want to have children is to “perpetuate their seed.”
You need to spend more time with heterosexuals
I just told you that my cousin always wanted to nurture and care for children and you told me that was a selfish reason to have children.
Yes, and I stick by that based on your words, like "my cousin wants". Those are selfish words because a personal want does not take into consideration those who might be negatively affected by your want...
They should be given the same rights as straight people in raising children.
Why?
That doesn’t mean the only reason they want to have children of their own is because they want to be like straight people.
So why did they push through their right to be married when they already had civil partnership. For the same reason as you just said "They should be given the same rights as straight people in raising children. " Not because they want to be a mum with all that entails, no, it is because they should be given the same rights as straight people in raising children.
They’re just saying that discrimination is unfair and unwarranted.
No, they are throwing the rattle out of their pram. If you have it then we want it to.
It’s not true that you’re biased against gay people? Well, you could have fooled me.
Yes, I am sure that I could, but that is not the point here. The point is that you are calling me a liar again knowing that I am a Christian so I never intentionally lie.
To say that an entire group of people is “spoilt, neurotic and selfless” (I think you meant “selfish?”), is folly. Generalizing is folly.
I didn't say that "an entire group of people is “spoilt, neurotic and selfless” you have just falsely and dishonestly attributed those words to me.
Maybe you’re the one who needs to get out more.
That would be nice because I am disabled and can't.
Gay people are just people. They don’t all act the same any more than all straight people act the same way. Or white people. Or black people.
They are a minority group who use that to get what the want and use the fear of being called a homophobe to get it.
Bucket list? So having a child is nothing more than a tick mark on a bucket list if a gay person wants to have a child? What makes you think a gay parent wouldn’t put their child’s welfare first and foremost, as any good parent would do?
Their track record
Homosexuality is a part of our society’s norm. Like it or not.
They are a part of our society but look at our history to see if they are a part of our norm
The only place I can seem to find the quotes you’ve provided are on conservative anti-gay sites. Do you have a better reference for me? Is this a study of married gay people?
The only place I can seem to find the quotes you’ve provided are on pro-gay sites.
You didn’t give me any numbers having to do with gay marriage at all. You’d think if you were going to assert things about the data, you’d want to check out that data first. They don’t show that gay couples have higher rates of failed marriages than straight couples. And yet you continue to assert that here. There is no straw man here, I was responding directly to your point.
You said that "Study after study shows no risk to the well being of children raised by same sex couples. You are harbouring a fear that needn’t exist" yet you provide no evidence to back it up.
This was written By Marian Jones, published on May 1, 1997, nearly 20 years ago and in Denmark. You are really scrapping the barrel, aren't you?
