Homosexuals allowed to raise children.....

[nhboy]

"Aad and Ron Dissel de Boo tell the story of how they once went to a conference in the USA to talk of their experiences in raising children. Before the spoke, a woman came up to them and told them forthrightly that she didn't agree that homosexuals should be allowed to raise children, because it went against traditional family values.

And then they went on the podium and told their story. Later the same woman came to them in tears to apologise for what she had said earlier. "And then she wrote to us later," says Ron laughing in his booming bass. "She said that she had our photo on a notice board in her office with a sign underneath it that read ‘they opened my heart and my eyes.'"

Anyone getting sick of fighting this one out? Maybe I should put a blanket statement in my siggy. "I love gay people and religion sucks" "

Other than "religion sucks", sounds good. How about "intolerance of other lifestyles sucks"?

since nobody will ever change their opinion, and since this thread proves that they need us, not the other way around, and since I suspect that the sucking would be more likely to be found in the gay community than in a church (except maybe a catholic church priests office)

I say its worthless to expand on the subject any more, everyone knows everyone elses feelings on the subject.

Yes, we know where we stand. You're a bigot and ItalianScallion's intolerance bleeds deep within him.

Wow, by labelling bcp a bigot, it almost sounds as if YOU are intolerant of BCP's belief system.

Hmmmm........

If all the biggots ran out and adopted these kids, there would be no children that needed homes.

Are you showing that, by being intolerant of other people's opinions, devoted to your own ideology with prejudice, that you are acting bigotted?

Normally I agree with a lot of what you say, but it seems as if you are saying this.

I said he's a bigot. It's the blatant truth. :shrug:

No, I'm not acting bigotted. Quite honestly, the whole discussion about gays (which I've been reading but have had no input in until now) bores me. Who the frick cares if two guys or two girls raise a child together or get married?

Tell me, all-knowing ones, how does two guys raising a child affect you?

Just waiting on Foodcritic to jump in this thread...

I'm sick of this subject... it's been argued ad nauseum over the last couple of weeks and I think it's pointless to just keep arguing it.

I also do not feel that BCP is a bigot. I think that BCP has been mostly respectful in giving his opinion, even if he disagrees with me on the subject of homosexuality.

To turn this in to a mudslinging name calling battle over who's right and who's wrong on the subject of homosexuality and all its parts does neither side any good whatsoever.

I think homosexuals are great people, I think they're capable of raising the children that need a home (yes, homosexuals need heterosexuals to have children, however those heterosexuals who cannot raise their child and give them up for adoption should thank the homosexuals for taking them in), capable of staying in committed relationships, holding great jobs, and remaining drug and alcohol free, should they choose. I think that the only difference between a heterosexual person and a homosexual person is whom they sleep with.

That's MY opinion on the subject. Many will disagree, many will agree. My opinion won't ever be changed and most likely those that disagree won't have their opinion changed either.

Let it go, man... just find a new subject to argue ad nauseum about.
