Is Homosexuality Abnormal?

[Zingari]

I bet it is just like Graham Norton's.

Homophobe's are just closet arse-bandits.

that might fly over a lot of heads

[Thracian]

And you seem so locked into your state of bigotry that you can not see the benefits because of your coprophobia.

I have come into contact with hundreds of really, really shit heterosexual parents - and include mine in that while I was growing up. One friend used to get beaten with a metal rod by her hetero Dad while another was repeatedly raped between the ages of 4-13. On pretty much a daily basis I have to deal with the fall-out of a hetero parent's dink/drug/violence/abuse/neglect on their kid. You think no one else in the class notices this? Do you seriously believe that these hetero Mums and Dads are standard bearers of "the correct" way to raise a child?

And I've dealt with many gay parents too but you won't want to hear about that. You won't want to listen to the fact that every child I've taught who lives with gay parents or a single gay parent is well-adjusted, loved and cared for deeply. Because you are scared of them you refuse to accept that their differences could actually make them better parents than you. I have a theory that this is down to the fact that most children are not planned for, they are surprises that then need to be handled by ill-prepared parents. This isn't the case for gay couples - they have to undertake extensive research and preparation, they have to be fully committed in order to pass the vetting.

So some ignorant little shit may take the piss? So the fvck what! Anyone who is in the least bit different knows what this feels like and learns coping strategies to overcome the ignorance being worn like a badge of pride.

Do you appreciate that children in care want nothing more than a 'family', nuclear or otherwise. So many of them remain in care because there aren't enough hetero parents willing or able to adopt. If you're going to stand in the way of gays adopting because you fear for the children suffering through the prejudices of others then why not go the whole hog? Why not ban all ethnic groups from adopting too - after all, the EDL may come leafleting down their street.

Not quite sure why I bothered looking in on this thread - people feeling the need to justify their sexuality (instead of just doing it! ) is so boring - but there's so much sense in what you say and a whole lot of real experience to back it up. Sometimes I wonder that the Good Lord doesn't review his prototype for the human mind and order a blanket recall.

I personally couldn't care less if someone is straight, gay, bi or whatever. I judge a person on who they are and not on their sexuality. Simple as that.

There isn't really much point because you are so seduced by what you see as the idealism of your own 'principles' that you will point black refuse to entertain the notion that your logic could be in any way inferior to those who come down on the other side of the issue. Put simply though, I think that same sex adoption is potentially damaging to the psychological well being of the child concerned for all manner of reasons ranging from stigmatism to identity issues and the very fact that there is the potential for such damage to occur is reason enough to discourage it.

How so? All you've gone on to talk about is the potential of being bullied for it, if they didn't have gay parents then the bullies would find something else to bully them for.

Rubbish - anything can be potentially damaging to a child but just because there is the potential for something to happen doesn't mean we should stop whatever could cause that something to happen.

also going to nit-pick and point out that it shouldn't be "point black" it should be "point blank"

Ultimately you can't know how it will affect any given child until they have lived it and im afraid I just don't think it is a justifiable experiment just because a few gays think they quite fancy having a kid.

No, you can't know how it will affect a child in paticular because every child is different. However by looking at how children adopted by gay people turn out you can tell whether gay adoption is good for the child.

If you can't understand that maybe you should just think about it like this - How many people do you know who would like to have two dads rather than a mother and a father? and if you are thinking about responding to that with your old 'nobody chooses their parents' line then consider this - what gives anyone the right to make the decision on behalf of a given child that they should grow up with two dads rather than a mother and father? bear in mind your honest answer to the first question when answering the second.

Pointless questions. Being good parents doesn't rely on being a "normal couple" genderwise.

Being a good parent is about being responsible, kind and caring, running a home in which children can have a good upbringing and be ready for whatever life throws at them.

I think it would be acceptable for a pretty ladyboy and a gay bloke (who likes ladyboys) to adopt if they pretend to the public that they are heterero and keep the bumming for when those close private moments.

There's a special button up every man's arse that ensures you are successful but only works if repeatedly poked with a cock

It's called the prostate. Pressing it may give you an effeminate voice as a side effect.

they're not really ,

my theory ;

gay men don't expend so much time and energy ( not to mention money ) on trying to get women into bed

therefore they can concentrate more on their careers and spend their money on themselves
