over heard of a little something called IVF?

i would much prefer to have two mothers who loved each other than one mother and a father who wouldnt even want to know me, which is what a lot of kids of today have (and vice versa)

so what, because hetro couples have sex for both pleasure and procreation, their relationship is suddenly so much more meaningful than homosexual couples who can only have sex for pleasure?
i cant believe anyone thinks that two people of the same gender love each other less than two people of opposite genders

And ska, if people are rude and narrow-minded enough to laugh at a child's family unit obviously the child can do without them.

sorry to say it... but like some people are rude n narrow-minded... its out there.. its happening.

n what i mean by a child needs both mum n dad...

well they teach diffferent things.. like if ur a gurl.. for eg. its like u need mum sometimes to talk about gurl things like periods n stuff u know... like imagine having two dads n stuff...
u know what i mean?

I...sadly agree with SKA. It undermines the family unit. To be mentally healthy a child needs Mumma and Papa, the ying and the yang. The mother is the nurturing influence, the father is the practical influence. It simply isnt fair to bring a human being into the world under that crap, maybe later on in their life, but not right at birth. Huge ethical question....not to mention the fact of one partner being unrelated to the child and the absence of the biological mother/father.

well, that's funny, because I know many families where the mother is an abusive bitch, and the father gets nothing done, and anything that undermines all the sweeping fucking generalisations you just made.

I have a newflash for you: most hetereosexual relationships start out based on sexual desire, too! It's called hormones and the natural order!

What happens to children who have lost parents utterly by will of a higher power? They aren't being brought up under a conventional family structure, but they turn out "normal" right?

And you know what, if a gay couple feels they can handle the responsibility of a child, and that means telling their daughter about what they'll experience, then by all means, go ahead.

And how is IVF not right? What about couples who can't have children? Do they just have to accept that? And yes I saw what you originally posted so don't change your argument now.

There are more influences and role models in a child's life than the parents, you know. I don't know how sheltered *you* were, but everything I learnt, I did not learn solely from my parents.

thats a completely different situation!!!!

sometimes kids cant always have both parents coz they are divorced or dead even.... in cases like that it cant be helped.. but kids have a tendency to have a more agressive attitude to life bcoz of it.. cause they dont have that loving, NORMAL family that most kids do have

You changed your fucking argument!

What the fuck is normal? How can you define normal in a world full of billions of people?

with divorce rates as high as they are, and the loss of the social stigma towards illegitmacy, a lot of kids don't have the NORMAL family you're preaching.

yeh.. but everything is done in their power to stop it!
its not intentional.....
eg.. u dont get married and have kids with the intention to get divorced n therefore hurt the kids.
but if ur gay... thats hurting the kids when they know they will be hurt

That isn't normal. That's conventional and even that isn't as common as it used to be.

Gay people don't start families to drag them through the mud, they start families to love just like anyone else.

Oh fuck you, I don't know why I'm bothering arguing with you. I could deal with zealous christian girl, she at least had faith and biblical reasoning to back her up. All you have is "what if"s and generalisations based on your naive world view, which does not take into account our ever changing social climate and family structures. Homosexuality is not something you "drag someone into", it's an intrinsic part of who you are and should NOT stop you from enjoying the same opportunities as heterosexuals.
