Dont get me wrong, I have nothign against gays..Im friends with a few at school here...but thats just how I see it!

i have friends with gay parents and they are perfectly normal. if you grow up with it then it is normal to you and it's rare that the child sees anything wrong with it. sure, he or she will ask questions someday. how the parents answer those questions will have a huge impact on the kid. it can be very positive though...

understandable.......I really dont like the idea of it...but I suppose, if its between gay parents, and ayoung child sitting at a childrens home, with no parent figure to form an attachment to (learned in psych that, that is most important in child development ;) ) then I guess, go for it.

Kids need a loving family. Does it really matter what kind of sexuality the parents practice? I know a few gay couples who would make excellent parents...instead they have dogs...and their dogs are treated better than most kids of hetro parents.

Kids are gonna find stuff to tease other kids about no matter what. I have a strong suspicion that there's less teasing about gay parents than we'd think though...it's becoming more accepted, primarily by the younger generations.

Last week I was in the mall and two men came out pushing a stroller. At first I smiled because two guys were taking care of a baby, then my smile grew when I made the assumption that they were a couple and the kid was theirs, because having a kid really made them a family instead of just a couple.

That, my friends, is what's called "wisdom beyond your years."

You think it's good for kids? Man, kids with fat parents get ragged on mercilessly, for God's sake. I can't imagine the cruelty the other kids would subject the son/daughter of a gay couple to.

Do you think that an un-adopted child would have a better life within the system (ie. foster homes)?

[Gongshow]

foster homes..yes

[gorilla_boy]

You think that passing a kid around from foster home to foster home is preferable to a stable, permanent home?

[Tinfish]

I am personally against it but am open to the feelings and actions of others to do as they see fit.

[Mark_B]

Not for it. Just the way I was brought up in thinking. Don't have anything against anybody, I love everybody but that is just something I dont' agree with. I am not saying I am right in my line of thinking, just a personal opinion that can't be changed.

ExNFL football player. Now openly gay, "married" and raising 2 kids. I think the cutest thing is that the son's name is Mitchell Jr. Named after Esera's "husband".

Take a look at the gallery of photos. Look at the "family" section. You see Mitchell Jr. dressed up in Daddy Esera's old NFL jerseys.
