First of all, your grammar, punctuation and spelling are atrocious. If you’d like to lend more credibility to your “argument” (and I use the term loosely), well-formatted sentences, grammar and spelling are important. For example, I believe the word you’re looking for is “unacceptable” and not “unexceptable” (which isn’t even a word in the English language).

Additionally, use of the word “their” and not “there” is the possessive case you seek towards the end of your rant.

Finally, your implication that only gays molest children is completely baseless and has been refuted numerous times by the scientific community. Statistically speaking, a child is more likely to be sexually abused by a STRAIGHT white male than by any sexual or racial minority. So get your facts together. A wise man once said: “It is better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt.” There’s no doubt in my mind you are a fool.

If I were a religious man I would pray that you have not or will not procreate so you don’t have the opportunity to pass on your ignorance and intolerance. But since I don’t believe in invisible beings, I’ll just have to keep my hopes up.

Eva, thank you for illustrating my point. Your comment shows the depths of your ignorance and the heights of your bigotry. Ignoring all the research that has been compiled that shows that gay couples make just as good, if not better, parents than straight couples you demonstrate one of the most harmful and abusive issues facing many children today…blind ignorance coupled with religious hatred. You also seem to forget that ALL of these children who live as wards of the state are put there by STRAIGHT couples who didn’t have the maturity and sense of responsibility to raise the kids to whom they gave life.

“Being concerned about what’s going on in the world is part of taking care of my children. No amount of name calling will change the truth.”

The “truth” is that you are a bigot and you will probably pass this teachinjg down to your children as well. I would say they would be better off as wards of the state than to be taught that hate and prejudice are “family values”.

“You all talk about being shown hate but that’s all you’ve shown me. Not once have I called you out of your names or said anything disrespectful, I simply gave may beliefs just like you did.”

Playing the victim here wont work. Your “beliefs” are insulting and if you are too brain-dead to understand that, then that is YOUR FAILURE as a human being, not ours. When you imply that heterosexual couples are the only pairing that are fit to be parents, you insult all the gay couples that do have their own biological children. You insult all the gay couples that have adopted and provided good stable homes to the unwanted and abused children of straight couples. I find it hard to believe that you are truly so ignorant therefore I must assume you are here to inflame and incite rather than to take part in any rational discussion. As fopr the hate, as with most things in life, you get out of it what you put into it.

I didn’t insinuate — though you decided to infer — that heterosexuals do not make fit parents nor provide stable, loving homes. I turned out just fine and last time I checked my parents are both straight. Coincidentally, my step-dad adopted me when I was a wee lad and he’s really the only father figure I can remember, so, too, I know adoptive parents can provide as much for their kids as natural parents. Bri was right in pointing out the folly of your thinking that homosexuals can be AS LOVING AND NUTURING as their heterosexual counterparts. Conversely, both heterosexual and homosexual parents can inflict great emotional, physical and mental abuse on their children. It’s the PERSON and not the SEXUALITY that determines whether or not someone makes a good parent.

This is not a perfect world in which we live and all of us try to get by the best way we can. I don’t think a child is as concerned with who their parents are so much as bigots like yourself seem concerned. It’s false concern, rooted in closemindedness. Children want a loving environment. Period. I knew a couple of people in college that were shuffled from foster home to foster home growing up and would’ve welcomed a stable environment regardless if that home had parents who were gay, straight, blue, pretty/handsome, wealthy, etc. They just wanted someone to love them unconditionally. A gay or lesbian couple is just as capable of providing that environment and relationship as a straight couple. And because gays and lesbians have to overcome so many difficulties to adopt children, you better believe those kids are cherished.

I encourage you to visit your local library and check out “Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism: A Bishp Rethinks the Meaning of Scripture”, written by Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong. You’ll find that many of your beliefs are entrenched in half-truths and taken completely out of context for the period in which the words were originally written. Maybe if you open your eyes a little wider you’ll see the world in all it’s beauty — a beauty that includes the GLBT community.

Happy trolling.
