Who thinks gay lifestyles are not healthy lifestyles for our children? Get Back to my on your opinions.?

Question

I personally prefer my children to look up to straight people. What's your look on the topic?

Answer 1

I agree

Answer 2

I am a faith type person who has a hard time between what the word says and what happens on earth. I have a wonderful gay cousin and he is extremely funny. I don't necessarily see gay families raising a child as an unhealthy lifestyles as more as a stable one. Most children that are wardens of the state will never know stability, compassion, security that comes from loving parents, or any of those things until they experience them as adults years later. I understand peoples outlook from both angles but at the same time if the parents are providing a loving and stable environment with equal partnership why should it matter.
Its better than hearing about all the foster children who end up dead from parental neglect.

Answer 3

I believe that Gay people and straight people have the same values, morals, and attitude towards things. So what if they like someone who has the same eqiupment, How does that change who they are? They still work, they still hang out with friends, they still go to church if that is your thing. I have a friend that has two mothers, she is straight and she thinks that as role models her mothers were the best. I also know some straight people who are the worst role models on the face of the earth. Did you know that on average Homosexual relationships survive longer, and have higher combined incomes than straight relationships.

I would rather have my children look up to a couple who has against all adversity stayed together and had a long and meaningful life together versus someone who has been married and divorced or just sleeps around.

You are looking at their sexual preference as a basis versus looking at who the people are inside. If my future children come to me and my husband and tell us that they are gay then you know what i will love them the same, it is not something to hate someone for. It brings diversity and understanding. It doesn't matter to me if someone loved a man, woman, or both, because they are living their life the way they want to and what makes them happy.

Answer 4

A person's sex life has nothing to do with kids, if they don't flaunt their lifestyle, no mater whether they are gay or straight then what difference does it make? Your opinion is old fashioned and out dated and no longer has a place in society. A decent human being accepts that others have a right to their own life, and that each person must take their own responsibility for their actions, it is NONE of your business what people get up to in their private life. Just because a person is gay does no mean they are a second class citizen, who a person sleeps with does not affect the way they do their jobs. Bringing your children up to accept that people have a right to live their life the way they choose would be far healthier than breeding more people with more hatred and prejudice.

Answer 5

I think homophobic upbringings aren't healthy lifestyles for our children either, and I'd personally prefer my children to look up to role models that have a positive impact on the lives of those around them.

Homosexuality is a choice? Ever witnessed (or performed, in some cases) a hate crime? Why would anyone CHOOSE to be discriminated against and have your life ridiculed in that way? Hate crimes also involve racism, is that a choice as well?

Ask heterosexuals if they made a conscious choice to be attracted to the opposite sex, or if they had simply had those feelings all along.

I plan on introducing my children to all the homosexuals I know as soon as possible with the hope that they won't grow up fearing something that they don't understand.

Answer 6

As long as parents provide a safe and loving environment for their children, what does it matter. There are plenty of straight couples who abuse and neglect their children. Just because a couple is gay, does not mean that they can't be nurturing and raise a well adjusted child. If anything, they would try harder to do the right thing by their children because they may feel that they might be scrutinized by people like you.

Answer 7

Children have enough problems in life without trying to understand the gay lifestyle. Straight couples give them a better idea about male/female roles.

Answer 8

Just cause its two men or two women in a relationship doesn't mean they can't be healthy for our children. Next we will start talking about races not mixing, or different races not adopting a certain race...dont we have enough issues to solve in life without questioning one of our many solutions to unwated children??? Just because you dont feel the need to explain to your child/children that a relationship is or can be two people that love each other no matter what race they are or what color or sex...Times are changing and people just need to open there eyes. Not gay but for gay rights!!!!!

Answer 9

Personally, I would prefer my children to look up to who THEY want to look up to instead of training them to have the same archaic-idiotic attitude that you seem to have.

As someone who is in a field that is heavily populated by GAYS, I see nothing wrong with these people as role models. MOST of the ones that I admire are very gay, and have been in committed relationships LONGER than I have been alive.

If you want your children to look up to ONLY straight people (who are more violent, more likely to end up in jail, have failed marriages, multiple partners etc), I would encourage them to have nothing to do with the fashion industry, arts, real-estate, or any of the numerous career fields that they seem to dominate in.

As a photographer, I find it HARD to find a straight person who has the talent or even the common sense as their gay counterparts.

Personally, I do not give a damn WHO my children admire, as long as they are worthy of that admiration. I would rather them admire a gay poodle than someone who shares your homophobic-shallow minded, hypocritical attitude. ADMIRE ONLY STRAIGHTS!...........

Answer 10

Well I was raised in a gay lifesytle..I feel it was unhealthly in parts of the raising. Such as being tease at school. My brother thought the only way to be able to hangout or talk to my father was to become gay.. ( very unhealthly give that he isn't gay). It was something I wouldn't change for the world, and it wasn't as bad as having a druggy parent or a parent that was in jail.

Answer 11

You can prefer for them to look up to straights but with those in the hetero community marrying and divorcing multiple times and shacking up with their significant others without the benefit of marriage is really giving kids alot to look up to.
