A major roadblock in gays and lesbians getting the right to marry is the implication that they'll be granted full rights to raise children, but a great deal of people who are against gay marraige (who are wise enough to exclude religious implications, since no one cares about what God thinks anymore these days) are afraid that gays who raise children will raise them homosexual.
Has anyone yet thought of conducting an experiment where exceptionally young foster children are given into custody of gay, lesbian, and straight parents and their behavior and development is carefully monitored over the course of their lives? It's already upsetting to enough people that gays come out of straight homes, but don't we need to carefully study which household brings about which sexuality? If the results of the experiment follow no recognizable pattern, then it would be proven that sexuality of the children is NOT a result of the sexuality of the parents, and gays could be allowed to have kids.

It would be a great wake up call to the politicians and anti-gay groups. It would prove that homosexuality is not something pressured onto a child or inbedded int their brains but something natural. If you look at ancient history (especially the ancient Greeks), homosexuality was the standard love affair. Heterosexuality was mostly for procreation, not pleasure.

im not against gay and lesbian, its easy to talk about our rights and right of the children in our opinions but how about the children they dont know what is going on? its good that they will be in the loving couple but even opposite sex parents having hard time raising children? a child needs model of a woman and man, why because that's how they build thier identity, of course you will explain it to them but they need interaction of real man or woman.in the house or outside. And never heard any long lasting relationship of gay couples. How do you react if the kid ask you why so-and-so have mom and dad and the other kids? its already heart breaking if married couple already split up and the kids grow up wondring if they are the cause of the split up, you don't know what's on their heads until you will see the strange behaviour or not even see it the cause or the effect of something.

Nobody stops gay people from having kids and that is not the reason people are against same sex marriage.
Gays and lesbians already have "full rights to raise children".
Not since the holocaust has anyone treated humans as lab experiments...which is what you are proposing.

Do you really think experimenting on kids is a good idea?
Good thing there are road blocks.
Gays wanting to Marry is all about money. They want to be able to claim each other on their taxes, health insurance, and file for alimony.
If that is acceptable then I would like to do that with my live in girl friend too.
