The Gay Baby Boom

[DSM4Life]

Let's talk about what there are studies for...More single parents of low education producing children. I'd rather see an educated gay couple, I think that kid has more of a chance. How does this effect your life and why is it important to you? You don't want the govt. in your family life, right?

Thank you !

Try reading a little bit on the subject before replying. Your replys are personal believes which i respect but don't try and push them off as facts because when you do it makes you sound.....dumb.

I would be all for this as being a fantastic idea if it wasn't for that fact that I see this as a potential threat to the childs well being on a social level in school. I truely feel that a homosexual couple could provide a loving and nurturing home for a child and raise them as good as anyone else. However, this child is now in a positon to be picked on badly as a child. These gay men and woman will have a child comming home from school crying everyday because of what was said about them and their parents. Unfortunately most of society doesn't share the view point that this is an acceptable practice especially at a young age. Many parents preach intolerance towards homosexuals and if there is 100 kids and 10 parents are like this they will spread this to their friends in school. Even if the other kids parents say there is nothing wrong with homosexuality and to accept everyone most of them will follow their peers and bash on the kid. So I really wish the best to homosexual parents and I know THEY will do a good job but I don't know how well it will work for the children outside the home at a young age. I will be very intersted to see the statistics on the suicide rate of these kids 20 years from now and also those who commit acts of violence against class mates due to the teasing such as school shootings. I am sure suicide and shootings will be a vast minority btu it is still a tragic circumstance.

I grew up in an ALL WHITE town. I got teased, had the N word written on my locker so many times we lost count. It's no different. People pick on people because they are different. Should my parents have not had children because their kids were picked on for being a different color than everyone else in the area? Switch the word homosexual in your post for Black, White, Asain or Latino and it doesn't make sense.

Point taken but don't you think some kids will end up resenting their parents growing up knowing they chose to bring them into that situation? A black kid knows his parents did the normal thing by having a baby but this kid will know his gay parents went out of their way to do something that is considered unacceptable by their peers. Look I see your point and I am all for it but as someone who was born with a disability and picked on for it as a kid I would do anything I can to make sure I never brought anyone into the world where I knew this was something they were going to endure.

Im sure that kid sitting in a shelter with no one to love him would be more then happy to know that his two fathers/mothers went out of their way to adopt and love him/her the way they should be loved.

This isn't about adopting though this is about surrogate pregnancy

So does that mean you would agree or disagree with my scenario ?

The argument that gay couples shouldn't be allowed to raise children because the child might get picked on at school.. is absurd. All kids get picked on at some point for some thing or another. What if somebody's name is Mr & Mrs Smallcock.. Should they not be allowed to have children because their kid might take some shit for his name?
