Re: Lesbian Mothers: Topic of the Day
 

If lesbians and gays want to marry each other, then why shouldn't they be allowed? I have nothing against that. However, when it comes to children, I firmly believe that any child shall have one father and one mother; nothing more, nothing less.

Re: Lesbian Mothers: Topic of the Day
 

so true, they should have the same rights, what makes them them "bad" parents? just because they are homosexual? makes no sense to me....
Are they afraid that homosexuals (and especially gays) might abuse their children, is that it?
I hate conservatives!

Re: Lesbian Mothers: Topic of the Day
 

Agreed. The balance should be present.

Well, one reason is, however natural it is for homosexuality to be present in a species, it is not natural for them to have offspring. Ergo, we don't know what it will do to the child in the long term. Secondly, it's not for protection from the parents, so much as those such as Scorpy who have an irrational hatred / fear of them. Let slip that your parents are both lesbians, and you could be in for a whole world of mental hurt, possibly physical, depending on the surrounding intolerance. I'm not against it because I'm against homosexuals, if anything, they're pretty brave to put up with what they do. I'm against it for the effects it could have on a kid.

no one here is talking about the parents , what they are telling is most people cannot yet accept the notion of same sex couple so they tend to be negetive about it
it can be hard on the kid

I have no problem with gays having the same rights as a married couple, tax exemptions what have you, IE a civil union.

However, I am highly against calling same sex unions marraige.

Oh, uh, I hate you too. I guess.

Re: Lesbian Mothers: Topic of the Day
 

I haven't got a problem with it. Better a happy family with two dads or two moms then a broken home with one of each.

Re: Lesbian Mothers: Topic of the Day
 

My point is it isn't marraige.

I have zero, nadda, zilch problems with them having the same benefeits of a married couple, so long as it isn't considered marraige.

Civil unions is the term, I believe.

That may be it. Point is I have no problem with them having the same rights as a married couple. Anybody who thinks they don't deserve the same rights are against life, liberty, and the pursuit of whatever floats your boat.

it's just a name. why not call it marriage and have done?
