Is it just me or does it seem that religious forums attract a lot of people who think they are some kind of messiah or something?
My children have not indicated to me whether they are gay or not, I think they're still a bit on the young side, but I'm always willing to listen to them. I mentioned that "kids will be kids" because I'm gay and they haven't had to deal with any negativity from that yet, but I'm sure it's coming. Also we are not Christian and we live in a very Christian area and I do know that my son at least has had to deal with questions about that at school.
You mean human?Children are easily influenced, and when they are raised by 2 gay parents, do they believe that is the "normal" way to be?
This is like worrying that two left-handed parents might "influence" their kid to favor his left hand as well.
:grill:Homosexuality is a form of mental illness. It was not created by Righteousness. It was and is encouraged by and through the medias of actors, models, politicians, writers, painters...and other mortal(toxic) icons. Even the rebellion associated with Homosexuality is part of the mental illness. However...one must remember...It is not a crime to be sick in the head...the crime is in the perversion...which made up the Homosexual bed.

I guess my main concern with gay parenting, is children often look up too and mimic their parents. Children are easily influenced, and when they are raised by 2 gay parents, do they believe that is the "normal" way to be? in other words, are they aware that you are gay? Have you explained to them the situation, or plan to?
Except for other gay parents at church everyone else around us is straight. They are well aware of straight parents/couples. I teach them that different people love differently. Some people (male or female) love men, some love women and some love both. They understand because they see it with their own eyes for themselves.
I'm quite confident they will not be confused because no pressure to be one certain way is pressed upon them. That the main reason gay children and gay adults are confused or constantly question their sexual orientation because they feel one way but everyone else is telling them they are supposed to and must feel another way.I think worrying about which hand a child uses the most is a bit less extreme than worrying that your child may be confused and constantly questioning their sexual identity.

I grew up confused about my handedness. I am left-handed with two right-handed parents, living in a society that is mostly right-handed and designed for right-handers. To this day, when I have to distinguish left and right I still have to ask myself, "which hand do I write with"?I think worrying about which hand a child uses the most is a bit less extreme than worrying that your child may be confused and constantly questioning their sexual identity.
So much for the "compassion." :sarcasticHomosexuality is without a doubt a form of wicked rebellion...
Homosexuality is without a doubt a form of wicked rebellion...which has led to serious mental illness. It is not a lesson taught from the Beautiful Godly Divine...it is a lesson taught by the Ugly Satanic Swine. Sane individuals do not allow it ...in any way, shape, or form. It is a behavior pattern that is very common among those who have bred themselves to worship and to mimic animals. Those who have complacently been teaching this unjustified way to fragile minds...without caring about the outcome are to lose their Mortal heads. Death to this corrupted way...and to these individuals(first to those who have trained up others to be beasts)is within the confines of Just and righteous Law. As for me...I simply desire mercy take place in the removal of the filthy contaminated animal. Gas houses are merciful...as is the maiden/magu/son(guillitine.)The bodies are then to be burned. No remembrance service(funeral procession)or grave. We do not place adulteration in our memory system...the homosexual agenda is no more.

What's wrong with attention? Every group nowadays has an outlet and their own cable channel. Big deal. So many people find as fascinating or newsworthy... don't worry, they will move on to something else soon enough.If it were up to me the media would stop feeding the gay community attention
I mean, why aren't you concerned then that a gay kid might be confused by being raised by two straight parents?
What's wrong with attention?
As you say it is not really a major problem, and I dont see it as a problem at all. I think it is natural and healthy for children or teenagers to experiment with different roles. And I believe it is healthy for adults to play as well. And as a society I think that it is good for us to question what it means to act gay or act straight or act like a woman or act like a man. I am not at all certain that it is these people who are confused, perhaps it is the those who have a more traditional limited view of how people should act who are confused.Yea, I can see where you are coming from. The reason I bring it up is because a lot of kids these days seem to be confused in general, mostly kids with straight parents. Even growing up there was a bunch of girls in my school who said they were lesbians (maybe for the attention) but would openly make out with eachother, now they are all straight and some even married. Now that I'm out of school I look around and see that all kinds of people are bisexual, men are acting like women, some dressing like them, a lot of straight kids are just acting gay (confused?). I guess tv is one of the main influences for that kind of behavior. Maybe some kids want the attention, maybe some kids think they might be gay so they act like they are. It's not a major problem or anything, just makes me wonder what initiates it, and wonder if it's because of how much attention the media is giving the gay community.
