Would you trust your children with Gay people?

Question

Would you trust leaving your children with Gay people. Serious answers only please.

My cousin has a Gay baby sitter, and he is so loving to her and her child. In fact he treats my cousin like a sister. She trusts him so much around her 7 year old daughter. She said she would never ever trust a straight guy she said.

Gay People are so loving and warm people, the Gay people I know, said they would kill any paedo who ever touched one of their friends children.

*Yukka* Gay people are NOT sex molesters. They are a different type of people altogether.

You can pick out the anti Gays on here a mile off. Those of you who said NO, it means that you obviously think all men are paedos. Gay people have the legal rights to adopt children. So even the law must trust them. I would rather a gay person live next door to me than a straight known sex offender.

Babysham. Read some of the Anti Gay remarks on here. It will make your hair curl. I have Gay friends and trust me, they have never ever made an approach to me. My cousin (Female) she worked in a hotel in Norwich last year, and she met Graig from Big Brother 3 a few years ago walking down the corridor of the hotel accompanied with a female, she said he was a really nice person to talk to in person.

Some great answers on here. I know and I have left my little boy with gay friends, they have even taken him out with them to Alton Towers, and Drayton Manor Park. I trust them so much.

Answer 1

Yes I would trust gay people with my kids and a matter of fact I do. My kids have been around gay people since they have been born because alot of my family members are gay/lesbian. There has never been a incident to cause me concern and my kids are now open minded individuals!

Answer 2

I don't see what being gay has got to do with someones ability to look after children. You will obviously get answers saying that they would make terrible parents, because these people are intolerant homophobes.

There is good and bad in all walks of life, whether you're black, white, gay, bi, straight, whatever.

To those uneducated bigots who are stating that most paedophiles are gay, you need to do some research. Paedophiles are more likely to be heterosexual.

So, you shouldn't trust someone based on their sexuality, but on their abilties, personality, how well you know them, their skills, etc.

EDIT : To Beauty Spot,
You make a great point about the likes of Gerry McCann. I wouldn't trust him with children, even if he is a doctor.

Answer 3

I like gay people I have a few as friends and in the past I have stuck up for them when some are down on them, my children are adults although i have 2 grandchildren would I trust a gay person with them YES I WOULD.

Answer 4

As with any situation it depends on the individual person in question. But my experience has been positive. I would say absolutely. The gay community is not diseased, they have the same morals or higher standards as per se the "average heterosexual". I have entrusted my severely handicapped female child to the care of a gay man. I knew the person, and made this decision. I would not base my daughter's safety on a stereotype of any segment of society. That would be foolish. We should only trust our children to people that we know we can trust-their sexual orientation should not be the only criteria. Good luck, and good judgement to you.

Answer 5

Yes of course I would as long as I knew them, I have worked with gay men and they are a lot more caring than a lot of the so called straight guys. I would 100% trust them looking after my children.

Answer 6

Gay people are harmless people. Just human beings like the rest of us. If you had ask would I trust children with Gerry McCann then the answer would have been a very big NO.

Answer 7

I know my mom has this issue with my older sister.
My sister is 17 and I'm 15. I know in high school, people are more open with their sexuality, but i only know about 3 or 4 people or are gay or bi. On the other hand, almost all of my sister's friends are gay or bi. My mom worries that my sister is secretly bi.

Take my advice and let your kids hang with them. If you're a good parent, you'll trust your child. Even if they happen to become gay, you should know that it's not your fault for letting them hang out with their gay friends. It was their descion or instinct.

Answer 8

I would trust my children with my gay friends. I've known them for many years and I know them very well. Asking me if I would trust them with "gay people" is the same as asking me if I would trust them with "straight people". I have to look at each individual's character. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with whether a person is going to abuse, molest or otherwise mistreat a child. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with whether I like or trust a person. You have to look at people individually and evaluate how much you trust them.

Answer 9

I would yes, i have never heard of a gay person who molests kids or hurt them, its like any person, you have to get to know them and the trust grows, i don't know why people judge on what sexual preference people have, as the saying goes never judge a book by its cover.

Answer 10

There are women pedaphiles as well as men. Why shouldn't gay people be trusted with children? Straight men molest children. Should we cast straight men out of homes and cities b/c they are straight. Why is it Gay people label themselves. Does anyone really care if a person is gay or straight?

Answer 11

Hello. It's now 2007. It's been proven, beyond the shadow of a doubt that gay people are no more inclined to be child molesters than any other segment of society. Go to Mapquest and find the road to the 21st century.
