I know that this question is going to get me into trouble. I have very strong values and I believe that a marriage is a man and a woman, anything other than that is horrid. I do not hate gays, I disagree with the lifestyle but I do not wish them any harm. I may be politically incorrect, but the traditional family of male and female is what is best. I know that there are a lot of single parents out here, including myself but it is a lot easier to explain that things did not work out with your dad than having two dads or two moms. Growing up is difficult enough, but having two men or two women coming to the PTA meetings, that is terrible for a child and makes them an object of ridicule. It also puts that child in a position in which they have to defend the parents. What happened to the traditional roles of parenting and marriage? What happened to the way it should be instead of a twisted idea of marriage and relationships?

Homosexuality is NOT something that you are born in first. It is a choice. I have all kinds of research to back that one. You cannot compare being black to homosexuality. I am black and I find that very offensive. Blacks are black because of generations of black people. There is no such thing as generations of gays because there would be no generation at all. Why is it that in the homosexual community that when you do not agree with the lifestyle that all of a sudden you are bigoted and full of hate. I disagree with the fact that my son was kissing and petting a little girl in his room, but that does not mean that I hate him or have a dying prejudice against smooching. Children should not have to defend parents, it should be the other way around.

First of all... homosexuality is not a life style and it is not a choice. You are born that way.
Secondly, marriage is about declaring your love and commitment for each other in front or you friends and family... it is about loving someone so much that you want to spend the rest of your life with them, marriage is a ceremony to celebrate that kind of love and to declare it to the world. Why should any one be denied that because they were born differently than you or I?
Third... when you spend your life with someone, share a home, a life, you depend on them and yes, maybe share children, that is the person that you want with you when you are ill or in the case of a horrible accident. If you are not married or do not have some kind of civil union then your partner is not allowed to make medical decision or to even be told what is happening to you. Is that fair?
Single parenting is not a "traditional" way of parenting.... there was a time that a women would be shamed for getting a divorce, or having a child out of wedlock and would be expected to go live with her parents in shame... widows were also expected to live with their parents.
Considering the fact that so many children grow up with crappy parents, being abused or neglected, I would think that you would be happy that some lucky child got to have two parents that are involved enough in their lives that they go to PTA meeting etc.
People like you, that raise their children by feeding them nothing but intolerance and bigotry are the only reason that any child would be made fun of for having parents that are a same sex couple.
You and people like you are the only problem with this world.

Okay...I know I'm taking a chance by answering this...but I'm still going to. A majority of people can say that traditional family is best....and it may be...for some. You are right. It isn't fair to a child to have to grow up in a world where having two moms or two dads will get you taunted and beat up. It's not fair to that child to have to defend the love that their parents share and choose to express.
The sad thing is...and the reality is..is that children don't learn to be hateful and mean on their own. It comes from their own parents prejudices and ignorances. It doesn't come from the children. It's starts with people like you who think it's wrong. Therefore you teach your children that it's wrong. Please don't blame people like me for your own ignorances.
You say 'the way it should be'... By that..do you mean white people only marrying white people...catholics only marrying catholics...etc. Because if I recall...it use to be absolutely terrible having a white person marry a black person, or asian, or any other ethnic group you can think of.... but that has changed. Times change...this ain't the 50's anymore...
What is twisted to you, is completely normal to me. I have been with my wife for 6 years now. The thing is...I feel really bad for people like you. Instead of just worrying about yourself and your life...you feel as though you have the right to tell others how to live and what is right and wrong. When in reality...how does my being in a lesbian relationship have any affect on you?
On another note....people do not choose to be gay. I did not choose to fall in love with another woman. I didn't wake up one day and decide to be gay. I have always felt this way. Who are you to say that people cannot be born gay? (I would love to see your research!!) Throughout history there are gays and lesbians. It is NOT something that people choose to be... Like I always say...it's not my lifestyle..it's my LIFE!

Watch MTV. Read Cosmo & Vanity Fair. It's a 24/7 media assault on traditional values. Most cave in to it. Only the few resist.
