I hope those same sex people accept the fact that a same sex couple can't have children.

Do what you want to do with each other but please leave kids out of it. They deserve to have a female mother and a male father.

You are right... married hetero sexual couples can take good care of the kids surely when they divorce and the kids are being set up to the ex partner...Ansd here in Thailand drop them at the family or grandparents..Indeed the kids are very happy... Sorry I know that you don't know what you are talking about....Narrow minded

Correct, you don't know.

So please don't pretend you know.

 

It is best for kids to have a mother and a father who take care of them. That is just a fact.

Obviously in some cases that doesn't happen. That is sad, but impossible to prevent.

 

It is preventable to let same sex couples adopting children. If they can't adopt children, then those adopted children don't have to suffer under that condition. One problem less to solve.

If they are so happy to go into lifelong debt to pay the dowry who are we to criticize?

 

Let's welcome same sex enjoyers to the grave of love and sex.

So what would you suggest when one of the homosexual couple is the biological father of all of his 4 boys (2 singles + twins, all produced over time by artificial insemination in Usofa).

 

As is the case of friends of mine in Oz. Went thru school with 2 Dads, loving fathers. All 4 now teenagers, with no doubt the same ups & downs of teenagers everywhere. What's the problem? (other than blind prejudice).

I am sure there are happy children with gay couples and also unhappy children with heterosexual couples.

But in general children who grew up with only one parent have a lot more problems.

Children need a father and a mother to learn from both - at least that is the best-case scenario.

 

I am not advertising to take away children from parents who have them already. I just don't want that children will be adopted into situations where it is obvious from the start that the conditions are not the way they should be.
