It isn't normal at all that homosexual people live together and adopt children. What a waste of time to talking about, we all know that homosexuals are very very out of mind, having sex with your own gender is absolutely crazy! I vomit off it!

You make a strange issue.
I absolutely agree with you when you speak about this such terrible thinks “throw their babies in the garbage, kill them to get insurance money, force them to work in brothels, train them to become con artists, etc”. But if adopting kids by homo couple will be legalize it’s don’t solve this problem, it’s only can bring new.
I don’t want to enlarge among of homosexuals (Do you?) because I sure that such relationship is illness, illness of brain, illness of society.
I respect private of everyone. Everyone can love and have sex with hi want. But I don’t want this population make influence for kids, and society. And I don’t understand what proof do you asked. Maybe you want to make such experiment and bear responsibility for results. And another question, do you want to ask orphan if they want such parents?

I've said in previous page that homosexuality is within ourselves. It's something we're born with, and it's not something we choose. If you're born as a homo, you will end up being a homo. You can or cannot show it depends on the situation and society. This is sad that people can't even be themselves because there are people who think they're being different is sick. You need to be open-minded that people are born with something different than yours are not sickos. Is this how you treat people who different than you? If this is how you treat homosexuals, I wonder how you would treat people who in special classes and so forth.... :roll:

The influence we're talking about here is love. Love anyone who is different or similar. No separation between whom and whom we should not love. Tight yourself in your own pool is what Hitler did. He selected his own group and tried to eliminated people who were different: Jews, homosexuals, mentals, old people, etc.

All those kids want and need is a family, no matter the sex of the parents as long as love is involved! As long as the child is loved and raised in a happy environment, what does it matter if their family is formed by a man and a woman, two men, two women, etc.? There can be many, many kinds of families.

Do you have any idea what kind of childhood orphan children have? I'm sure you wouldn't like that for any kid. Nobody would. The more couples who want to adopt, the better, for me. Why do you think it wrong to have two dads or two moms? What do you think will happen to the child?

Did you have two moms or one? Did you have two dads as the parents? Have you ever asked them about your parentage? I think that no.

My mom is a single mother. I don't live with my dad. Although he does come to visit us, like once a year :roll: , I don't talk to him. Personally speaking, I wouldn't care if I had two moms or two dads as long as I had a home. Right now, I have a home; my mom has done a good job raising us. Therefore, I don't need my dad in my life. He was being selfish to step out of our lives, so I don't feel sorry for him if he thinks he's missed out anything. I am fine with my mom, but sometimes I get annoyed when people try to kiss or hug their dads in front of me. It's like, "geezzz, how nice of you, just rubbing it in my face that I have never done that with my dad?!?!?!??!"

Imagine, I, who have a home seldom feel left out when people discuss the dad-daughter thing in front of me, what about kids who have no dad and mom? What do you think how they would feel? This is why I said kids need a home. Just a home! Why do you think we still have orphans when every straight people could adopt? It's because straight people prefer to have kids of their own. This is a human's nature; we prefer offsprings carrying our blood and genes. They adopt kids when they can't have kids at all, they want more kids because they can't have kids anymore, or they are like Angelina Jolie. However, how many straight people are like Angelina Jolie? We can't afford to adopt and have kids of our own. It's just too much. And this is why there are many kids out there are orphans.

Think of the number that homosexuals could adopt. More kids would have a home. More kids would be raised with love and care. More kids would not be bitter because they have no dad and mom. And why would a homosexual couple want to adopt kids just to raise them gay? If you were born straight, you would end up being straight; you'd prefer someone whom you think attracts you.

I agree with Profsegarra, let them do what they feel happy about.I want to tell you that because my most closely friend is a gay, he doesnt want to play or talk with any girls.when his parents found out that, they felt offended and didnt think that he's their son any more.Now his friends hate him and I'm also embarassed to meet him but day by day he look more fainted and poor.therefore, I decide to come to meet him and encourage him in order to help him to pass through the sorrow.Afterthat, he try his best to look after homeless children, old people, orphans, etc.finallly, I hope all of you can sympathize with homosexuals
Best wishes to you


Thank you for sharing that about your friend...these stigmas are the exact reason we are to get past prejudice in all its myriad fo forms//the exclusion from ones very own family is just so wrong to me and the society is far too much condoning these sorts of things/ behavoirs. If a child is born they should be loved... if a person exists they should be accepted for who they are and treated with respect. When a son or daughter of the earth is rejected by their loved ones for any reason something is amiss....and society suffers. We're all made to pay by the certain derangement that exists when a whole culture makes a man feel rejected. A broad example would be those who are inclined to crimes by this phenomenon and by those who take that further to murderous tendencies and sexual predator natures.
Now please do not misunderstand...I am merely saying that criminals are also rejected by societies, and that leads to the current situation... criminals who are jailed to learn more crimes...removed from society they do not recover and rejected as flawed they do not seem to be offered a new life option once time is served. this leads to more criminal tendencies...rehabilitation is not opted for because it is ususlly not really offered. a criminal has a hard time changing because he was not offered room to grow during the punishment phase...it is merely a time out to think about what you have done....some of them never learn to think logically. they cannot return to society again as solid citizens...they are forever branded.
do you think that a terrible thing is not happening then when based on only one aspect of a human in all their complex nature
(when a person is so rejected by the members of their clan) in a similar fashion, do you think they are able to thrive and contribute to society in the same way effectively and with a passion for living? i think they are being strangled by the non acceptance and I abhor it. Because it makes no sense. Why try to make devients of the healthy citizen over a sexual preferance. It is ridiculous but so common. I will fight about it for my human cousin until I am on my deathbed and no one will have to ever listen again.
I am happy you chose to be a real friend to your friend and not so closed minded and common.
Tell them I will continue to make sense of things for them... or in their sted , hopefully, bringing people to the light of truth.

All the best !

This is not necessarily that these shildren will raise as gays. Not, of course. Perhaps that majority of them will be happy in his new family. I say that they will live not only in the family. There is society including kid-garden, scool, yard and etc. too. You now, shildren is very cruel. A child with deflections is object of ridicule, but two moms or dads is nonsens for children growing in the traditional families. Emagine, what "happy childhood" wait gay's children outsaid his family?

:? And? Kids can be so cruel, we say. They make fun of everything because they're kids. Even if you were born in a happy family with a mom and a dad, they'd still find something to make fun of you. So, why is it too cruel for one being made fun of having two moms or dads compared to other cases? It is never nice being made fun of no matter what it is about.

If a child grew up hating the moms/dads because they were made fun of having two moms or dads, I don't think they would deserve to feel sorry for. We sometimes feel embarrassed by our parents' actions. Have you ever once in your life thought in your head, "Gosh, mom/dad, you're embarrassing me in front of my friends"???? I believe most of us would have that feeling once in our lives, but it doesn't mean we don't love our parents. We do love them. And it's the same for kids who have homosexual parents. Thus, this is why it's good for orphan kids to have a home. Just a home! When they feel embarrassed by their parents and still love them, don't you see what it means? It means they finally have the feelings most regular kids have; they're no longer orphans.

You say about relationship only in one direction; parents to kids. But there is other directions: kids to parents, kids to kids and parents to parents, lastly. This is a very intricate area of people's life. Unfortunatelly, kids can't choose the parents for themself, they can't take part in our disput either . If you'll ask three-years orphan, would he have one, two' or three moms or dads, most likely he'll answer "Yes, with great joy!". During he is growing he always is at variance with the traditional conception of family. He is styduing anatomy at scool and he sees that a man is bored with woman and man, his friends say him that they have mom and dad but only home his parents try to explane to him that " there is not so easy, our life has got some exceptions to the rule". Finally he'll get full comlect of inferiority complexes. I agree that there is many other reasons to be made fun for children. His parents are poor, or they are drunkards, kid have no new bicycle as they have and many other things. But this all is inside of area of "traditional psychology", where "white is white, dad sleeps with mom, grandpa and grandma live a lot of years together" This is kid's world. In other cases we are egoists are knowing only about ourself. If homosexual couple love kids so hard, let they visit children's home, let they bestow charity on orphans and do other actions such as this.

Yes, we can't choose our parents and we have to love them no matter how they are. It goes the same way for adopted kids. You think of the kids' feelings when they grow up seeing that they only have two moms or two dads, but have you ever seen that they would get used to having two moms or two dads? Have you ever seen they would love them no matter they're gays or not. The relationship between kids and parents are built specially on love, the love that nothing could destroy. I don't find myself love my dad as much as like other kids do, but no one can come to me and talk nonsense stuff about him. It's the last string of love and respect I have for him. Same thing for orphan kids who have homosexual parents. They might judge their parents and they might not. Either way it's not a big deal. It's what kids do. Like parents who wish about having other kids in front of us or their friends as a joke, we sometimes would say, "oh gosh, I wish your mom/dad was mine." But when it comes to trading, would you trade your parents for better ones? Of course not. Well, I can't speak for all, but for me, no way. I love my parents.

You see, what kids need is having parents, a home, a love, a feeling of not being neglected. If you care too much for the aftermath when the big chance nothing like what you think would happen, then you would literally abandon the kids from the home and the love they deserve to have. You're doing the same thing their biological parents did to them.

I did say about the relaitonship between parents and kids.

If a child grew up hating the moms/dads because they were made fun of having two moms or dads, I don't think they would deserve to feel sorry for. We sometimes feel embarrassed by our parents' actions. Have you ever once in your life thought in your head, "Gosh, mom/dad, you're embarrassing me in front of my friends"???? I believe most of us would have that feeling once in our lives, but it doesn't mean we don't love our parents. We do love them.

To be honest, I don't really care about the relationship between kids to kids or parents to parents here. Kids always make fun of other kids, so it's not new to me. Bullies can sense their preys a mile away. Thus, it's not about having homosexual parents is a problem or not; it's all about standing up for yourself and be yourself in every situation. You never get anywhere if you're a pushover. How do you know a child from homosexual couples can't stand up for himself and fight back?

And parents to parents, why is it so special for the kids here? Seriously, would you wanna hang out with a kid whose parents judge your parents? If you loved that kid, but your parents forbid you to hang out with that kid because he had homosexual parents what would you do? Serectly hanging out with him or stop hanging out with him? And how would he feel? Sad? Of course, you were his friend. But he would definitely choose his parents over you if he had to. Anyway, personally, I wouldn't like my kids to hang out with kids whose parents forbid them to hang out with certain group of people. It's bad parenting, and they don't see it.

Why do such couple must face to the problem of children?They can live together without a child.I think Their life style may be harmful to a child. When the child grow up,he(she)may also be a Gay or a Les.

maybe in thinking about this question, it is helpful to think: can you imagine being told, you could never find someone to love for some reason: that, you have to live alone your whole life? Or for that matter, that, yes, you can Never Ever have sex? It is very human to want to be with someone else. And, not all couples have children. Not all couples with children take care of them. Some things, people have to decide, and some things they need other people to stand up for them. There was a time, when slavery was how people believed. There is still slavery, but now usually, it is considered unjust to treat people this way. Should people be persecuted for wanting affection and companionship?

As Lennye Tran has been saying throughout this discussion, as have others, we as humans want to label everything, and this can divide and separate us into limited beings, not allowing us to reach our full potential because we might believe these labels. One example is here in Thailand where people believe that if they have dark skin they are ugly and not accepted by society. They even air commericals having people get embarrassed because their skin is too dark. The result is that kids ride/walk around in 35 degree heat covered from head to toe because they are afraid they will get dark. They would rather have a heat stroke then to have people make fun of them or think they are peasants.
I know exactly what you're talking about. And the bold is so true.

Exactly. Small children are free of prejudice, discrimination, stereotypes and all sorts of ~. Unfortunately, they'll pick the ideas up from the grownups as they grow older.

WOW I was just reading about marriage last night and i have something to input to you dear new member...
This is a book i have studied for a long time that i was reading and it was brought to my attention again most recently:
Paper 82
The evolution of marriage.
Marriage - mating - grows out of bisexuality. Marriage is man's reactional adjustment to such bisexuality, while the family life is the sum total resulting from all such evolutionary and adaptative adjustments. Marriage is enduring; it is not inherent in biologic evolution, but it is the basis of all social evolution, and is therefore certain of continued existance in some form. Marriage has given mankind the home, and the home is the crowning glory of the whole long and arduous evolutionary struggle.
While religious, social and educational institutions are all essential to the survival of the cultural civilization, the family is the master civilizer. A child learns most of the essentials of his life from his family and the neighbors.
The humans of olden times did not possess a very rich social civilization but such as they had they faithfully and effectively passed on to the next generation. And you should recognise that most of these civilazations of the past continued to evolve with a bare minimum of institutional influences because the home was effectively functioning. Today the human races posess a rich social, and cultural heritage and it should be wisely and effectively passed on to succeeding generations. The family as an educational institution must be maintained.

Now this is just the beginning of a long a windy trail of thought on the institution of marriage so i will leave this for all to ponder and i am off to sleep... for I have stayed up long past my normal, early 12 or 1 o' clock bedtime.
Be well and if you like that check out: The Urantia Book, sometimes, perhaps. This book, it is amazing to me.
nighty night :wink:

In my opinion, I think what are the effects of this. What is the word we should think seriously. Becuase if we think about moral or religious, represent "what," our view or answer is based on our religious and may be not accept this idea. And we can go beyond this what. But if we think about freedom or human right, our answer is yes. We should legislate for this marriage, for these people. After we think of "what" in vary aspects, then we will consider whether this marriage is suitable.
Do you agree with me? If it's not necessary to have only one answer, the answer's always yes for the question (I mean it should "marriages" between people of the same sex be permitted.)
So I agree that it should have the law for this marriage. Even though I have many disageement.

To me, it must not be allowed as some of the friends in the thread have mentioned the reasons..and in a simple way I want to take the mathematical concern into consideration and the world consists of male and female ones in more or less equal rates so the order is or must be our priority and for the sake of the order of the world it sould not be allowed..as also it can create a potential homosexual population in the world especially among the youngs and teen as they have tendency to any interesting or eccentric phenomena..

for now these are sufficent I think..

One of the differences between "people" and "animals" is that "animals" don't know what "dirty" really means. And when you say "less than animal" I found you quite offensive. By the way, have you ever been into an orgy making love with women and men all mixed together. Me neither, but I think it more "human" than just having intercourse to procreate, like every "animal" always does.

I have some gay friends. They are more 'human' than the majority of heterosexuals I've met. They make better friends, are more sensitive, more critical thinking, more tollerant to differences and therefore have less -isms, and they are really happy people. This is what I have noticed.

Marriage is a social concept and homosexuality has existed since the beginning of humanity. Such activity in animals shows that it is a natural phenomenon and not social. This means, to me, that most people who are against such same-sex marriages are unable to see beyond their own social or religious education and prejudices to see what is more 'human'. Try reading the Cavern metaphor by Plato.

What exactly is a marriage? A union between a man and a woman? If that is all it is, there is no need to get married, just live together. Is it a promise between two people to live together in love and respect? If so, then two people can do that, whatever their sexual preference.

For me, marriage is a state of harmony between two people; full of love, respect, understanding and tollerance. I find that homosexuals usually have these qualities in abundance.

There are actually over 6 billion human beings on this planet, the possibility of extinction because of homosexuality is most unlikely.

Marriage probably means to a lot of people something completely different, in my country a lot of young couples don't want to get married because it means nothing to them. They say, they don't need any religious nor governmental approvement for their love. It's their decision to live like that.

On the other hand, for a lot of other people marriage is a very precious thing which they want to share with that special someone they love. It's their decision, too, and isn't it kind of a natural human right to live the way we want to live? How can any state or religion dare to say what person we should love and how we should pass our lifes together with them? It's the private issue of two human beings which way of living they choose for themselves.

In my opinion,it should be permited because Law and we can not ban ''Love''. We usually say that '' love is no frontier''. So I think it is no sex discrimination in love. The Law can ban ''marriage'' but ''love'' between sex diffrences, therefore no need to ban. All gays have right to enjoy their owned happiness by get married with their lover. We will be selfish if approving any law on ban. We can not ban only because we have our owned husbands who are sex different. Please put yourself under their situation. We also can not accept or agree a marriage with a partner who we don't love and can live with them in the remaining life.

First, marriage is not "natural", it is cultural. Animals don't get married. We are a special kind of animal because there is no "human nature" apart from culture and history. The problem is that there have been many ideas in different cultures about what marriage is for or should be for. In some cultures polygamy is OK. In others it is an abomination. The reasons for marrying another person have also changed over the centuries and vary across cultural boundaries. So nobody can say that one type of marriage is or has always been "the natural one". So far I agree with the people who have defended same-sex marriage. Their position is logically consistent, I will not deny that.
However...(here comes the other side)I think the laws of a country should be inspired by prudence rather than logic. And for many reasons I think it is not prudent to legislate more than one family model per society (homosexual marriages want to be regarded as families, not just marriages). I am not against giving same sex couples some rights, but equating them with heterosexual families is, IMHO, a mistake. In my country gay marriages have recently been legalized. It all seemed very logical at first, but now a same sex couple has filed a complaint because current laws only permit one of them to be a biological parent, and they want both to be recognized as biological parents, which is absurd. So it all starts out very logically but we end up with absurd situations.

Get rid of the word "marriage"

Post by juanalex »

Call them civil unions instead. Whether it is a man and a woman or 2 men or 2 women. Make things level. :lol:

Should marriages between people of the same sex be permitted?

OK, let's think. Wow, it seems that we already have sort of unions between people of the same sex. So the bottom line is that we have a wrong question. We can't permit or not permit one adult person to live and to have sex with another adult person. It's their private live, not a crime (however the same sex marriage was even prosecuted in the USSR).

So the real question is whether to acknowledge this sort of unions as legal. A few countries have alreasy admitted this type of marriages. I think that in the USA it's going to be legal in future (if I'm wrong correct me, please). It seems like a crazy idea to many Amercan people right now but it's going to be perceived differently. For example, slavery was a nutural thing in the USA back in eighteenth century, but right now it's illegal. So it's just a shift in how our mind that is required.

And finally just one more point. I want to underline that if it is legal it's not going to change our sexual preferences. It's very important. A man who is sexually aroused wnen he sees a naked woman will not feel the same towards another naked man even if the same sex unions are legal. Our own sexuality dictates that we do, not laws.

I agree with many people in the forum. It should be legal. They still live together whether the goverment allow it or not. Why don't give them oppotunities to be recognised by society. :?:

I just want to add couple more points to my post.

Well, there are some issues related to this questions that aren't quite obvious and some which are more or less simple.

A simple thing is rights on real estate. If a same sex couple have bought a property together they must have the same rights on this property as an ordinary couple has. I'm talking abount inheriting it and so on.

A quite complicated issue is the right to adopt children who live without parents. Personally, I'm not sure that it is a good idea to let them do this.

So probably there might be some restrictions with regard to the rights of the same sex couples. However some legal rights have to be granted them.

Adoptive gay parents as opposed to what?

Post by juanalex »

Foster homes orphanages? I say if children don´t have a good home and there are gay parents looking for children then by all means let them adopt. There have been studies done that prove that gay parents are just as capable as a a hetero couple. There are too many children on the streets with nothing specially here in Mexico.

I wonder if you could provide me with some links? And I wanna be sure these reports have not been sponsored by gay organizations.

Look, it's likely to be OK in Mexico, but it might be a complicated issue in some other contries due to religion and current attitude in a society towards gays. Besides, as far as understand there is no extensive experience with regard to upbringing children in this sort of families. Am I right? At least, in Russia it's very uncommon to see it.

Finally, my point was not specifically about upbringing children by gays. It was broader. I was talking about a set of difficult problems that might or might not arise from legal acknoledging gay marriages.

I don't understand why people of same sex love each other but i agree people should make their own choices. so if the homosexual people don't influence my life why should i mind?

Well to be honest I don´t like it, and in my opinion it is not correct, it is not how nature was create. Men are ment to be with women, but well everyone is free to do what they want to do and make any decision they want to make. :D

I would just want to ask something to the gay people, well, gay men people, How is it that with the amount of pretty ladies that we have all around the world they preffer to be with a men????? :shock:
