How do you feel about gay men parenting?

its unatural unholy and alltogether wrong. the kid will end up beat up for having freaks as parents. it is against all common sense and decency.Gods judgement is nigh.

It definitely doesn't 'turn' the child gay! I 100% support any person/couple who wants to love & care for a child. No matter who you are, being a parent is the most amazing thing you'll ever do! I was once in a same-sex relationship & we were raising her daughter together. I just don't understand how some people can be against human nature.. especially since it has no affect on their life.

Gay isn't a choice, you are born either straight or gay. So by no chance a gay man could grow a kid into gay, if he isn't one. But people are afraid of two things. Than gay will turn kids into gays or that gays will rape kids. That is sick to think so, but the fear brings these ideas. And fear is born from stupidity.

I think that gay people are normal people, like straight ones, and that it's better to have two dads, that to live in street or adoption agency.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. As long as both people are mentally and financially stable in a loving monogamous relationship, they can raise a child just as well as any other couple. Their sexual preferences have no real bearing on their qualifications to raise a child to adulthood.

I am traditional, old fashioned. I believe in a 2 parent (male/female) household. Both gender serve a purpose for the child, it's a balance that can't be matched in my opinion.

I know it doesn't always happen that way, it is just a preferred choice. If it doesn't happen like that, then I am open to any loving and stable environment.

The sequence for my preferences are as follows --

As a general rule, I believe in a balanced bio father/bio mother parenting their own child.

Next, I believe in a balanced, bio father/bio mother parenting their child as single parents.

Next, I believe in a balanced, adoptive father/adoptive mother parenting their legal child.

Next, I believe in a balanced, adoptive father/adoptive mother parenting their legal child as single parents.

Last on the list are gay couples/gay singles, but prefer them to children being in custody of the state, with unfit parents, whether single or coupled, or otherwise abandoned.

***For me, has nothing to do with sexual orientation, but balance of sexes.

Men and women are wired differently from each other and I believe that children benefit in ways that are inexplicable to the conscious mind, believing that a man and a woman, together, ideally make the best balanced model. I don't believe that women can give what men can give and vice versa. Not saying that neither man/man, woman/woman cannot provide love, BUT that neither can provide the inexplicable elements of the opposite sexes. Whether or not the child "turns out gay" having been reared by a father/mother, the preference still stands that children benefit in ALL AREAS OF BALANCE with a man and a woman. Woman/woman, man/man are just off-balance. And this is the real reason for my objection to same-sex couples raising children. However, they would make awesome candidates for exceptions in the adoption paradigm.

As long as a parent loves, nurtures, teaches and protects the kid I don't care about anything else. I have met plenty of horrible heterosexual people. Being straight does not make you a good person. Or even good in relationships.

I feel better about a couple of gay men raising a kid as opposed to many of the moms I see.

plenty of people do it and do it well, and their kids are thriving. so i guess what i feel about it is that it really should no longer even be a question, any more than i as a heterosexual woman should have to defend my own right to parent . it's their right, and it's not up for a vote or subject to popular opinion.

I feel every child needs a mommy esp in their initial months.

I will never understand how a woman willingly gets pregnant and then give her baby away.

Perfectly fine.
