Should gays be allowed to bring up kids ?

Answer 1

I think that kids should have a mum and dad
and not dad and dad
or
mum and mum.

Also other kids would pick on that individual. I have nothing against gays. But that the way life is. If is was meant to be, then men and men would be able to produce kids.

Answer 2

Well I guess they should be allowed if it is their blood related offspring and the other parent isn't in the picture. But should two gays be allowed to adopt and raise a child? No way!!!!!! A kid has it hard enough growing up without that kind of thing to deal with. Should we really do social experiments that will effect a kids life for the rest of his life.

Answer 3

in order to raise healthy happy kids the parents need to be consistent in disciplne, fair, accepting others and open minded with no set role playing. For example- I am a single mom so I am mother, father, disciplinarian, friend, bread winner, doctor when she is sick, chauffer, etc- you get the picture. I take out the trash and do the yard work. I never sat back and expected to wait on the man to do it.
Whether I am straight or gay is not the issue ( which I am not for those needing clarification ) what matters to my daughter is that I am there for her when she needs me and that I love her no matter what.

Hetrosexual and gay couples can do that just the same. There are a lot of weirdos out there that are not gay and they are raising kids. So keep that in mind. Just because you are gay or lesbian does not mean that you will abuse your kids.

Any parent that is shown to abuse or neglect their kid should have the priveledge taken from them. Not before.

Answer 4

resounding YES here! there are many many children out there who have been brought into the world purely by biology and not by love, unloved, uncared for and unhappy. when gays want to bring up kids, they have to adopt them, and we can therefore be much more sure they actually want the child than with all the heterosexual women/ couples who are just too ignorant to use contraception. there is therefore a good chance that a child adopted by a gay couple will grow up in a loving, caring and stable environment, and that's what a child needs, not matter who it's provided by. anyway, children have grown up in gay families for years and they're just fine, it's only happening underneath the radar.

Answer 5

Yes. In my opinion.

Here is my justification:

1.Most gay couples I know who are in a position to want to bring up children have gone through a lot more for the stability and continuity of their relationship than the majority of straight couples.

2. It is impossible for a gay couple to have a child "by accident" therefore the child can be certain of a home where he/she is wanted.

3. Unfortunately most gay people have been through prejudice and misunderstanding in their lives and therefore would be better equipped to teach a child how to overcome such prejudices and misunderstandings.

4. It is wrong to assume that gay couples are any less capable of bringing up children than straight couples

5. It is also wrong to assume that all gay males are paedophiles (which seems to be quite a common misconception!)

Answer 6

Good parents should be allowed to bring up kids. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with that.

What you really seem to be asking is -- should we allow people to raise kids who don't happen to follow the same particular religious or moral standards that the majority wants them to follow.

The government has no business legislating morality. Neither does anyone else. We are not a theocracy, and not a dictatorship. Just because people don't agree with a lifestyle doesn't mean that it is automatically harmful, or should be made illegal.

Countless neutral studies have shown that the most important qualities in a parent are a stable household, loving attention, proper care and nutrition, and the freedom of the child to develop their own beliefs with guidance and supervision.

None of those qualities are impacted by the sexual orientation of the parents. And dozens of neutral studies have shown that children of same-sex couples or single homosexual parents grow up just the same as children of opposite-sex couples or any other single parent.

The only reason to oppose homosexuals as parents is out of hatred, bigotry and religious prejudice. And anyone who tries to tell someone else how to live their lives, especially through force, should be ashamed of themselves.

Good parents should be allowed to bring up kids. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with that.

Answer 7

I want to see how these kids that gays today bringing up turn out. If they turn out the same as any other kid, then yes. If they end up being tainted in some negative way, then no.

I can't say for sure until we see the results of how the kids are as adults.

Some concerns:

I've read that boys raised by gays usually end up being more sensitive and understanding, and treat women with more respect. That can be good. But I question if that also means that they will let women walk all over them when they become adults, and not know how to have a good married love life with a woman. or let bigger tougher guys beat them up because they never learned the reality of violence.

I've read that girls in these families tend to be more outgoing, bold, assertive, confident, etc. That can be good. But I question if that means when these girls grow up, that they won't respect men, be sexist, and unfair, and won't know who to go about loving relationships with men. And will they be blind to the reality of violence and war.

And bring me more thumbs down for giving a valid, non-discriminative, logical response. Idiots. Maybe I should be fake and just say yes, "oh yes, they should be allowed without question, how dare I wonder and question it, thats evil". Or maybe I should jump on the other band wagon and say, "oh no they shoundn't gays are evil, how dare I even question it". Idiots. Idiots. idiots.

Answer 8

No way!! can imagine the poor child at school with two poof dads!! You would have signed the child up to a world of ridicule. Why do gays always take it a personal assult on their lifestyle, WAKE UP BENDERS, its not about you its about the poor children. Not to say they won't be good parents, that is not the question, ones sexual orientation doesn't dictate how well you can bring up kids. But can you honestly tell me nature wants two men to bring up kids? I'm pretty sure mother nature would have something to say. Its the left wing world gone absolutly berserk if you ask me. One thing you cannot argue; IT IS NOT NATURAL> Can't wait for all the tree huggers to whinge....................

Answer 9

I have nothing against gays, if the child is their own then yes that's no problem.
But if they are adopting the child i say NO.
If i was brought up by a gay couple i would sue the **** of the government that chose to support this policy.
I would look at it as my rights to have an adopted mum and dad was breached, just because goverments want to give in to gay couples right movements.
If you look at it from the child's point, he or she have no option in the matter.

Answer 10

chaos jones you are a wa****r. homosexuals have sex with members of the same sex. peadophiles have sex with children its not the same thing you ignoramus.
ok people so should we not allow mixed race children, or catholic/protestant parents. don't be idiots people are people and their sexual orientation has absolutely no bearing on their abilities to raise children.
And those of you who are saying that by letting gays be parents the child is lacking a male/female role model. what about children raised by lone parents because one has died. should we take them away. iwas raised by my mum after my dad died when i was 12. i didn't lack anything. my male role models came in the shape of brothers, uncles, cousins etc, just as those raised in same sex housholds will.
