Question for those against same sex couples raising children?

In what ways do you anticipate this as a detriment to society for future generations. I'm interested in specific examples of how you interpret this family dynamic as being unhealthy?

I respect all differences of opinion......

Update:

i'm certain that there are atheists that are against this as well, yet, all i see is, "those bigoted christians..........." you are sadly misinformed if you believe christians are the only denomination in the entire world who would take pause at this.

    First and foremost, if same sex coupling is natural and a product of evolution and not a deviance from nature's normalacy of sexuality, then the same sexed couple should be able to progenate naturally. Evolution would have provided the means for this to be so. But in science, we are to establish truths through valid proofs and observation of the laws of nature. We can never rewrite these laws, we can never state that something is true only partly, and then expect it to be accepted as fact.

    Show me by using the laws of nature, where two same sexed animals, for according to science and some of these promoters of lasciviousness, we humans are just animals, (presuming the promoters of same sexed beings are Evolutionists, for they certainly couldnot be Judeo-Christian), but show me where two male dogs copulate. Show me where two female Orangatans make out and strap on dildos to imitate the male phalanx.

    You see even nature won't allow its animals to be deviant. Deviance is only a choice given to the higher species of humanity. Nature can't break its own laws, nor can it rewrite them, nor will it rebel against the norms that the God of Creation and Nature established eons ago.

    I was chided once because some lobotomized amoralist declared that the animal kingdom has example of homosexuality....( I must have been chided by some youngster because....) homosex is only a human thingy for starters, and although animals might sniff each others butt, or they might lick at the scent of being inheat, they never copulate and fulfill the act of sexual deviance. Never. Not once, no specie, none, zippo, zilch, nada, nunca, times does nature show us that homosexuality is an alternative.

    What these amoral alternative activists and promoters of unnatural sexual practices promote is HUMANISTIC SINFUL LUSTS OF THE FLESH. Who would have thunk that two men would have desire to pump the rump or slump the chump?

    Show me it as nature, when, two females leave the natural use of their body and do the perverted act of getting each other off by imitation and unatural stimulation one to another. It can not be shown. It doesnot exist in the kingdom of animals. How queer, how odd, isnot that a conundrum?

    Sorry, but I won't apologize for that, I apologize for not apologizing!

    As for the detriment to children, it is unhealthy in the sense that it gives a perverted sense of interaction between the male and female species. It is unhealthy in the aspect that it shows alternatives to the practice that nature doesnot instill, nor practice, nor promote.

    All of nature shows us male and female progenators, bugs, plants, birds, fishes....how does something that is so obvious be made abstract and irrevelant, how does it become so confusing to anyone?

    What is there to question? Jimmy has two daddies that lisp and are infemminate, or that Heather has two mommies, and one acts and dresses and talks and even cuts her hair just like Heather's real daddy?

    Where is the common sense in our society? How can anyone teach a perverted sense of sexuality by default and then expect a healthy balance and understanding to be achieved in the child?

    Look, there are laws of nature just as there are laws of the spirit. When people start seeking to bend these laws, then they create their own laws, when people rule from their own emotion and lack of obedience to the established societal or laws of a natural norm, then we have nothing less than anarchy and rebellion.

    Whether this anarchy or rebellion is civil, societal, or spiritual, as is the renegade new age spiritualism movement, it establishes a farce to the truth. When lies are taught as truths, then the followers of these lies are promoting untruths and lies. This continuation of contamination of the moral and spiritual environment of any that become acquainted with the deviance.

    Or when people create their own laws of pleasure and lasciviousness this is sin, this is called hedonism, it is sin not only against nature, and God, but sin against their very selves.

    It is wrong and sinful, when God declares it wrong and sin, it is wrong and deviant when nature declares it abnormal and deviant to the established laws of nature. Irregardless of the arguments, irregardless of how many people are willing to be tolerant to such practices, wrong, deviant and sinful is exactly that....WRONG, DEVIANT AND SINFUL.

    As in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, so will it be in the Second coming of the Son of Man.

    Change from your sinful attitudes and repent, for the Kingdom of God is near. It is nearer now than far.

    Stop clamoring and children playing one to another, stop sitting down to eat and rising again to play....

    Stop perverting the minds of little children by showing them confusion and attempting to the dissolving of laws that can never be dissolved ,nor reformulated, just out of sexual spunk and wanton desires for same sex orientations.

    Men, you need to act as a man, and women need to act as women.

    You men out there, we need to be men and spiritual leaders of not only our homes, but in our society too. We men are designed to think with logic and prowess of mind, while women think on the emotional levels.

    Men and women are biophysiologically different, we were designed to be complements and compliments, one to another. Just the very nature of our sexual organs prove this.

    Let us face this truth, and then stand upon it, and let progeny be for those capable of progenating.

    Kinda basic yes? Rather simpltonian yes?

    Yes, indeed, I agree!

    As a son and brother there were things I needed from my mother as well as a father. I was always conscious of what I would lack if both were not there. Plus as a kid I was instilled in so much including values, morality etc. I just feel there would be a lack with either one parent or two of the same sex. Not to mention peer problems this would cause and if a response would be to keep it secret to a kid's friends than that is a sure sign of not being very kosher.

    I don't see any issues whatsoever with kids being raised by loving gay parents. Yeah, they'll get picked on. They'll get picked on if their parents are poor or fat or alcoholics or if they dress funny too. As a previous poster suggested, those of you who think it's "wrong" for gays to adopt, let me ask you when you plan to go down to the adoption agency and give one of those kids a place in YOUR home instead. To suggest that a child would be better off in the system rather than in a loving home is just selfish idiocy, and I'm tired of this level of ignorance from supposed Christians and other fundamentalist faithful.

    I think it's absurd to think that decent people won't raise decent children.

    Children should probably not be involved in their parents' sex lives.

    Parents should not attempt to control a child's sexuality.

    Nature will lead a person to his sexual identity just as sure as the sun will rise or as sure as it has been rising for a very long time.

    I'm not religious and I don't judge people.

    I have no problem with kind loving people no matter what they do between the sheets or on the kitchen counter or in a shower.

    I just don't care what my neighbors do for sex.

    Source(s): I will add to my rant that I am a childrens' advocate and I've never heard of a child of homosexuals getting raped by family members. I know much of incest, violence, murder, and adultery in regular families though. That is for sure.

    god created us all and we chose who and what we were going to be before we were born. god knew our charts before we came to earth. he also knew who we were going to marry and how many kids we would have. in other words, god does not care if we are gay or not. and kids grow up in gay household all the time, and they turn out just fine. being gay is not genetic, or learned. so why should it matter if a gay couple raises a child. maybe the child will learn tolerance, and respect for others.

    my son is now 16 he was raised by two women but has had plenty of male role models and examples to learn from

    he is "fine" on all levels

    as normal as any other kid

    was never picked on at school for his home life

    but he is also well rounded and tolerant of other people

    which I dont always see in boys who had both gender parents

    he is an exceptional muscian

    an average student

    is straight and vocal about being straight which is fine and healthy......................im sure he doesnt advertise our home lifestyle but he isnt ashamed of it either

    The problem with same sex couples raising children is that they do so well in school and in life that they make the rest of us look bad.

    I don't see any problem with this other than the pressures that may apply from an intolerant and narrow minded society that's overflowing with God-believing bigots...

  • Honestly, if just doesn't feel right. Even when I was an atheist, it just didn't feel right. I'm more against gay couples than I am them raising the children. The poor kid will be made fun of but that kid will grow up with an open mind.

    I'm just being honest, not hateful. There's just a bad gut feeling about the whole thing. I get the same feelings about abortion. It's just a sick feeling in my gut.

    p.s. I have had plenty of close friends who are gay. I've never shunned them or cursed them. I accepted them as they accepted me.

    Its a sin against nature. Two males and two females together cant procreate. so, its wrong if they weren't made to have children in a same sex manor then they shouldn't raise children either. It messes with whats normal and natural environment for kids.

    I have yet to meet anyone who is against it yet willing to adopt one of the thousands of children who desperately need a parent.
