Gay Parenting

And a child has a right to a mother and a father.

Really? Since when? You should have told that to my dad. Haven't seen the bastard in a decade.

Look at the bright side, you wouldn't be the real thing if you did. It's the native-american experience it seems, Sorry to hear it though, counting my blessings even if mine died pretty horribly, cancer sucks

If my seperated wife has her way, neither will I. Obligations? In stone. Rights? For negotiation.

Human beings are fundamentally flawed, I make mistakes, my wife makes mistakes. When one of our girls ask us a question we don't always know the right answer, so in lieu of that we attempt to give the best answer; it may not be perfect but then again, we're not perfect people. I don't know anyone who is, straight, gay, or otherwise.

However I trust in the bond I have with my family, I have too, because I would probably go crazy if I tried to make a guess out how our daughters are going to turn out when they become adults. We support and nurture them, we love them with every fiber of our being, we would throw ourselves to the lions if it meant our daughters future was assured. But it's not, nothing is, so we have to have faith in them while trying to lead by example.

The strength of one's character is more important than their sexuality, will those children be loved and nurtured? That's important. There's a lot of children out there that need that, I don't think they'd care whether it was from a man and a woman, two men, or two women. It's really painting a lot of people with a very broad brush.

What would your answer be if I said two White people can raise a child better than two Asians? See where I'm getting with this?

I will readily admit I have been very dumb on this. But it isn't about me, nor is the gay activists outcry over percieved injustice.

A lot of it is just luck of the draw, I've known people that were raised by nominally good, loving, nurturing families; and one child went on to be successful, and another child raised within the same family has done time in prison. Likewise I've met people who were raised by complete jackasses, and one turned out to be successful, and another one sits on his computer all day and doesn't do crap. Just because a child shares the same DNA as the parents doesn't mean they're going to be carbon copies of them.
