Should homosexuals be allowed legally to get married and raise a family?

Question

I am in a country where homosexuals are not allowed legally to get married. So I want to get some idea on this question.

Answer 1

No they lack the normally acceptable emotions that regular married couples have.
They will not be able to show their children as examples how society is expected to behave.
they could not be roll models.

Answer 2

Yes Because Just Because We Are Gay Or Lesbians Doesnt Mean Were Not People We Can Do The Same Things That Straight People Can.

Answer 3

easily this is the authorities, no longer the church or no longer gay accurate communities, and easily no longer activist judges. the people are the authorities, and they have the right to make and bypass guidelines. Marriage as performed in united statesa. has no longer something to do with faith, is is merley a civil settlement ( that a minister would witness because the reputable) yet is likewise performed via a choose, a notory public or merley a witness in some aspects) so each and each state has continually held the right to make your ideas up who to provide marriage licence to. And to no longer to, first cousins, brothers and sisters, communities of three people, and people of a similar sex. ( and not in any respect to miss goats and canine) What Christians might want to extremely be dissatisfied about is the very undeniable truth that gay pastime itself has change into proper, it really is the Chrsitain problem, because this is the act of homosexality it truly is the real problem, they're already living mutually, marriage or no longer marriage does no longer replace this. so Christains opt for to artwork and foyer at replacing that decrease back to morality. And earlier you commence maximum guidelines are morality guidelines, do no longer thieve is theif guidelines, thou shall no longer kill, homicide guidelines, and we've guidelines antagonistic to prostititution, playing and extra. so the rustic from its beginning has had morlity in all of its guidelines. And that is equality, they don't look constrained now because of age, sex, race, faith or any constititional accurate, Sexual perversion isn't available-free accurate.

Answer 4

In several countries they already are - to the benefit of the children they adopt or produce by means of surrogacy, IVF, etc.

A stable family set up, sanctioned by a public commitment to one another, has always been regarded as the best environment for a child's development.

Or is your issue that you don't consider same sex couples to be suitable as parents because:

1. the child will grow up to be gay: This is patently nonsense as most homosexuals were born to straight (and loving) parents. The child will grow up to be whatever it is. It will have a better understanding of sex and sexuality and will not be prejudiced against non-heterosexual set ups.

2. the child will be sexually abused by its gay parents: Again, nonsense! homosexuality, while different to heterosexuality, does not instantly equate to paedophilia. It involves a gender preference (something which paedophilia tends not to given that little boys and little girls have the same anthropomorphic shape, barring the undeveloped difference between their legs)

3. the child will grow up teased for having gay parents: Children will naturally pick on the differences between themselves. I was skinny and constantly ill as a child - I was teased and bullied for that reason; other kids were teased for having a lisp; or a stammer; still others for having ginger hair; or for being useless at football (soccer)... In adolescence I was teased for being the first in my class to grow chest hair (can anyone say "Neanderthal"?). I'm sure in modern society (certainly we do in the UK) there is government guidance on how to treat bullying in our schools.

Parents have a duty of care also to ensure that their child grows up in as safe an environment as possible. So I ask you, what difference that it should be a homosexual couple, supportive of one another and under the eyes of the law, that provides the loving and nurturing environment in which to raise a family?

Answer 5

They are already legally allowed to raise families- any competent(and some not so competent) adults are allowed to raise a child.

Marriage is a civil union - they may already live together without any sort of legal bond beyond cohabitation.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Yes, we do it already. Other countries do it and there is no problem.

You don't have to go, but I've got a nice video on my myspace page about a boy singing about his two dads. I thought it really inspiring.

Answer 8

OH my god think of the terrible thoughts the neighbors would think " your girl is going out with a a a guy???!!!.haha. yeah they should get married have kids, clean little butts all day, chase little butts all day, child proof the house, the f*cking baby seats ( which i hate)and all the joys of having them.....THEN THEY BECOME TEENAGERS !!!! ohhhh joy!!!! " mom!! can i have the keys to the car.. oh can i have gas money?..oh can i have money?, i'm going to the mall. don't get me started. haha

Answer 9

Lesbian and gay people should be extended the same privilege and benefits of marriage as heterosexual people have.
Not all couples - gay, lesbian, straight - want to raise families. I have many friends who are raising kids. I'm not driven to do so.

Answer 10

They already are legally allowed to get married.

They have just as much a right to marry someone of the opposite sex, as the rest of us do.

"Equal rights to marry" is not what they want, because they already have it.

They want, instead, to change the definition of marriage in an utterly strange way -- simply to fit it to their "alternative" lifestyle, and to shove gayness in everybody's faces.
