I read an article about a lesbian couple in California who have been together for 20 years, each mother bore a child from the same sperm donor, and yet they are unable to be married. I'm just curious what other people really think about these issues.

I think it's interesting how much people don't change over time and through all of the things we've supposedly "learned". I watched X-Men III last night and I started thinking if that really happened, what people would think about 2 human parents raising a mutant and 2 mutant parents raising a child that happened to be born human.

I may sound close minded, but you did ask my opinion, So here it is, I feel sorry for those kids.
GOD said Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve or Ana and Eve

I believe same sex marriage and family units are fine. Being gay in the first place is just a confusion of the role of friendship due to the definition of friendship one was taught as a child. Everyone deserves a companion anyway right?
As for the children, as long as the parents lifestyle is not forced on them, than it is fine. The child should be able decide for themselves when the time comes. All other issues should be handled like any "normal" couple with children.

I fully support same-sex marriages, and same-sex couples having/adopting children, 100%. People who love each other should be allowed to be together. Children will be affected by same-sex parents the same way they will be by opposite-sex parents: if the parents are loving with eachother and the children, the children will likely grow up to be well-adjusted and happen. If the parents are angry and abusive with eachother and the children, the children will likely grow up to be either abusive to others, or seek out abusive partners.
Yes, children of same-sex parents may have to endure some ridicule from school mates, but that is because the school mates' narrow-minded, judgemental parents think it's ok to distrust and dislike people because they are different. If parents taught their children acceptance, ridicule would not be an issue.

None of the predictions that people have made about gay marriage have come true in the countries that have made it legal. Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands and Massachusetts in the U.S. allow gay marriage. Many other countries/states allow civil unions. It has had no effect on the rate at which straight people marry or divorce (yes, straight people have marriages that fail, but that happened long before gay people could marry). None of these countries allow people to marry animals, either. And don't get me started on "Biblical" marriage traditions. Women had to marry the man their father picked out for them, and the men got to marry multiple wives (and buy concubines).

I think it should be allowed. Gay or lesbians should be able to find love also.Thats like telling someone who is a female that she cant get married to a male. Just with the same sex. It shouldnt matter about who they love. Everyone should have a chance to find true love even lesbians and gays.

My opinon is love is love no matter what form it is...it all depends on the parents there are straight parents who are bad to thier kids and there are gay parents who are bad too it just all depend on the maturity and how responsible the parents are.So what if they are gay as long as they give the child what he/she needs to grow thats all that matters .And one more thing haveing gay parents doesnt make the child gay i know tons of ppl with gay parents who are straight

I don't like it. God said that we should marry OPPOSITE SEX!!! The Bible and GOD are ALWAYS RIGHT!!! How it affects children? Probably confuses them considering even though they are reading about how to have opposite sex mariages they see different.

All I can say is, it doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what my "Heavenly Father" thinks, people have to answer to him, not me.
