I think several statistics show that being raised by a homosexual couple tends to make happier kids. Because they tend to be more open-minded and thoughtful, as they have had great difficulties in life with being different and that are exactly the kind of things kids worry about most. You know, "Does it matter that I am different, etc".

I think gay couples should be able to raise the kids that they want, but of course give all couples the same vigorous testing.

Personally I think that being gay gives me the option of not having that kind of life and I gladly accept that. Pat Benatar said it right.

Before anyone calls me homophobic I am a 15 yr old homosexual. I feel that gays have every right to marry and we should all fight for that right, but i dont think a gay couple should raise children. You see, its just that i dont think it is a good environment for a child, I mean theyll go to school and try to make friends, and when they want to invite them over or have birthday parties and both the kids and parents see that the kid has gay parents, then they may never show up to that kids place again. i know what you may be thinking, "well thats their fault, society needs to be more accepting and if they see good kids being raised by gays then maybe they will start accepting" but lets face it, they wont be accepting, and the kid shouldnt have to grow up being teased and bullied because of that, since their only an innocent child. I have nothing against gays and i am gay myself, but im only thinking about the child.



So homosexuals should not be able to raise kids because 'normal' people will be bullies to kids who have homosexual parents? I have to disagree, society needs to make room for a bit of diversity not try and make people fit in little boxes. The issue would be people should not hate a kid for having gay parents....not that the kid has gay parents. I say society needs changing if something as simple as having homosexual parents warrants bullying.

I agree, The same goes with interacial parents, obese parents, etc. I really don't see how people are able to adopt a child and then beat the child to a inch of his/her life, but gays cannot adopt because it may induce bullying, especially when having a parent with a mental illness, or being raised by over-protective parents make you bullied as well.
