Gays/Les, which gender do you adopt?

Question

For the gay couples or the Lez couples, do you adopt the same sex or the opposite?
Will you raise the kid to be like you (gay/Lez)?
Will you involve him/her in your 'activity'? In which age?

Answer 1

This question seems to suggest that you have a very low opinion and little understanding of homosexuality. Perhaps you could make it a little clearer?

The kid will be gay, straight, bi or indifferent by its own makeup. It has nothing to do with the parents or how they raise the kid.

If by involving in my "activity" you mean tell them about me and my sexuality...well that'll be at the age when they realise that they have 2 daddies and not a mummy and a daddy (so, when they start pre-school?). There's no need to go into the detail of what goes on in the bedroom, though. Just need to tell them that there are different types of people who live together and that it is all good.

If, by any stretch of the imagination, you really mean "sexually abuse" when you say "involve"...

...then I would ask you to remove this question. This is the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered category not a Paedophiles, Rapists, Users & Abusers one.

Answer 2

This is a rather twisted question.

Studies have shown that homosexuals raise children pretty much the same way heterosexuals do.

No matter parents tell their children about homosexuality, they will be the sexual orientation they are. My parents firmly insisted that homosexuality was wrong. It didn't change me.

What on earth makes you think a homosexual would EVER involve a child in their "activity?" My nephew lived with me off and on through most of his childhood... He has always called my boyfriend Uncle Robert. He is going to be 17 this winter. If he knows ANYTHING at all about what happens in my bedroom, it is assumptions based on what he hears about homosexuals from others. I have never discussed the subject with him. I don't think it's any of his business...

or yours.

Answer 3

I'd adopt a a child, regardless of gender, so that they had a home.

I wouldnt raise the kid to be like me, he/she can be watever she wants, so long as the child is happy and comfortable with itself, as well as a good member of society.

I wouldnt involve the child in the "activity". thats sick. A child is still a child, and a gay parent is still a gay parents. Parents arent supposed to force sex r anything unwanted on children anytime ever! that child is my my son or daughter for the rest of my life, not until they turn 18.

Answer 4

I want sons just because I relate to guys better. I wouldn't know what to do with a daughter. But, my girlfriend would probably be more feminine than me and so she could deal with a daughter, do all the girl stuff. So it doesn't matter to me. If I'm single, and I decide I want to raise some children, I'm going to adopt a son. I know guys, I understand guys. I have a girlfriend and she wants a daughter, that's cool as well. But she'll have to do all of the entertaining.

As for raising my child, I'll raise them to be open minded to all lifestyles and to be themselves. I'm not going to force them into thinking they're gay or straight, I'll just raise them to be themselves.

Answer 5

The are so many children that need good homes and to be adopted into loving families. Your ignorant "question" is insulting to those children and the GLBTQ community. Being somebody that plans to adopt a daughter I am going to raise her to be open-minded and a good person.

You are going to be REPORTED again.

Answer 6

Answer 7

i am bi and when i am with a girl i like to be the "man". i just figure that if i am the "girl" when i am with guys, then i shouldn't play the same role in my female relationships otherwise, what's the point?
