Should kids be brought up in same sex households?

NO they should not! That kid will be confused and not have a normal life.

Imagine the kid bringing friends home and introducing them to Mom and Mom. That would not look or sound right.

The kid will also have social problems and get picked on all the time.

My partner and I are raising her two boys from a previous marriage. One is ten years old and the other is five. According to relatives, friends of the family, and teachers, our boys are well-adjusted, and happier than anyone has ever seen them. They are very loved, and well taken care of.

I don't think it matters much whether it's two moms, two dads, a dad and a mom, just a mom, or just a dad... I think it's more about the attention and affection that the child(ren) receive(s).

And the old stand-by argument that gay parents will raise gay children has been proven to be completely untrue. Not only through actual research and studies (google it sometime), but also through the plain and simple fact that it's not about the way you raise them. My parents were straight, and I'm still gay.. The vast majority of my gay friends all had straight parents. So if gay parentage = gay kids, why does straight parentage also = gay kids?

Do you honestly think letting kids stay in state custody shifted from foster home to foster home is any better???

YES< I believe that our children should be raised to know and understand that some people are different, and its NOT a bad thing, but good. I think that our children should be raised exposed to reality that some people are different than them. I think our children should be brought up to respect EVERYONE. I think our children should be brought up in a society where people can openly be who they really are.

BUT< this goes way beyond the ability to adopt new babies or to adopt kids out of foster care. What about the couples that have their own children? You cannot stop people from having their own children. Is it fair that Sue and Alice can get married, get pregnant, but not have equal, shared parenting legal rights?

95% of gays were raised in two-parent, heterosexual homes or in single-parent homes, so I doubt that having two daddies or two mommies would have much influence over Johnny or Janies's sexuality or future family arrangement.

It's not a matter of the "norm" (I don't hear you objecting to single moms or dads being allowed to keep and raise their children). It's a matter of growing up in a stable household where you are loved and cared for and valued (as opposed to being aborted or raised in an institution).

Just because something is traditional doesn't make it any better. I think that being brought up by a homosexual couple is far preferable to many ways of raising kids that are accepted by society.

I grew up in a single-parent family, and I think I would rather have had two parents, no matter what their genders were.

Kids need people and love around them, but not necessarily one mum and one dad.

That's right, family is about love and besides gay people can be some of the greatest people you'd ever meet. I would rather see a child brought up with a little dysfunction like two moms or two dads rather than being physically abused, sexually abused, starved, neglected or all the other horrible things that are happening to young children.

These kind of conversations will not happen in Indonesia. We are a society, who believes that children should be raised in a loving household, period. There's no limit to what kind of parents the kid could have, we only care if the children is happy.

And guess what, we are predominantly a Muslim country, and we seem to be much more tolerant in those subjects.....

Homosexuality is completely normal. There is nothing wrong with having two moms or two dads. Why shouldn't gay people be allowed to adopt a child?

They (gays) have a thing called a civil union that gives them the same rights as a married couple so I don't understand why they would want to redefine marriage. I personally think that children should only be permitted to live with gays when ALL other options have been completely exhausted.

why would it be any differant from a Mommy and Daddy ??? i mean i think that couple that honestly can give a child a good home should be allowed to do that .....and its not like they would all turn out gay or anything stupid like that i mean hetrosexuals raise kids that are gay and straight i think gay couples would do the same....you know not all hetrosexuals should be allowed to produce and raise children but you dont see that on the ballot.....
