Laiconna words are shallow.
wormcreek’s words are stupid and ugly.
Let me explain.
1. Being raised by straight parents doesn’t make gay kids grow up straight, nor does being raised by gay parents make straight kids gay. Most people are straight, thus most kids raised by any parents are straight, whether the birth parents cuddle and kiss and co-parent lovingly and responsibly, or whether they forgot to ask each other’s names during the one-night stand that resulted in the children.
2. Kids who grow up in gay-parented households (or seeing neighbors and relatives with gay-parented households) see them for what they are – whether they happen to look like good families to grow up in or not. Same with kids who grow up in or in the vicinity of straight-parented households. Being exposed to a happy family raised by gay parents (like most I’ve known) only educates people that if people are gay, you have that option. Telling people that if they’re gay they’ll be miserable is propaganda and nothing better than that.
3. wormcreek, you stupid asshole, you didn’t think for a second when you read the article above. Raising foster kids, or adopting foster kids, means you’re in for a lot of extra work to heal children from horrible (straight-led) homes where they learned that being alive means being hurt and abused and neglected.
Gay people who want pets get pets. Only those willing to commit to a long, hard, but loving and giving road ever commit to going through the process of adopting and fostering kids whose straight parents didn’t have the right stuff to even be allowed to keep their kids. Straight people, whether they want pets, children, or neither, quite often end up with children. That is not the case with gay people.

A whole string of straight birth- and foster-parents damaged my children before my husband and I adopted them. Their birth mom, who was savagely abused by our kids’ birth father is grateful that they are being raised by us. Their learning specialists, psychologists, camp counselors, teachers, principals, have all told us how lucky our children are to have us as parents, to give them the extra devotion needed to heal them.

It takes a lot of extra care, a lot of extra professional assistance, a lot of extra faith and paitience to do what we’re doing.

To say that this is selfish is willful ignorance, and to be perfectly frank, God sees exactly how much righteos love is guiding your dark little heart.

I wonder what affect cussling and kissing same sex individuals have on the children they adopt. Children in many instances are products of their enviornment. I believe that the homosexual environment is an invitation to the children to also see that lifestyle as something to look up to.

My state, Indiana, is currently trying to do this. And to me (I am not LGBT), this is the worse attrocity because it’s almost like the government declaring LGBT as wrong–which opens the door to many problems, with hate-crimes just being one.

I just wrote about it on my blog, in fact.

“Thanks for posting this John. As other gay vet’s like myself will tell
you, it’s a never ending battle to keep one’s sexual orientation a
secret while in the military. If you are a woman, it’s tougher in my
opinion and through my experience. You are constantly getting hit on
and if you refuse/reject those advances you are automatically considered
and called a lesbian. Thus if you are wise, you have at least one or
several male friends who pass for “straight” and be seen out in public
with them.”
