Should gay couples be allowed to have children?

Some states ban such families from forming.

i want 2 no y r some many ppl so negitive towards gay ppl. they r ppl just like u n me. ya so wat they r diffrent n like their same gender. this is discrimination. blacks didnt have any rights not but 40 years ago. now here we r frighting over if two ppl of the same sex can be in love and have a family.

In my life I hope to see society move past simple tolerance and openly welcome acceptance. All forms of bigotry are reprehensible.

Why do people have such a problem? its better than abusing children! as long as they give children loving homes and a good upbringing whats the difference between gay families and "straight" families? as long as the child is happy and treated right it is ok

I have mixed feelings about this. I mean i know its not right in God's eyes but people are also making such a big deal about it. Who cares who you marry? That was your choice and for some reason you made it. People should just stop griping about gay rights and get on with their lives.

I do have a strong faith in God, but I don't agree that He is discriminating agaisnt any kind of people. If He is all forgiving and accepting, I believe very strongly that He has no preference for what we believe as long as it doesn't hurt others. Honestly, I hate it when churches try to use scare tactics like this because God wants to spread peace and happiness not fear and shame.

It's funny that so many people know what "God" thinks and feels.

I think that the last thing the world needs is to discriminate against any kind of love. There isn't enough of it to begin with so what are we doing telling people no?!? I think the whole damn world should be bisexual just to make a little more love.

I don't believe in god, but I do respect all people who do just the same as those who don't. I love to see people like you, though I don't get to much because people with views like you are so rare. I like seeing someone who believes in peace and happiness in one form or another. I have been told before (by a little kid I might add) that I was going to go to hell for not believing in god. It really scared me that that child's parents were telling him things like that (they were sitting there nodding to his words) and gave me a bit of a bad feeling toward christians for awhile. I just wanted to compliment you on the good attitude you seem to have toward the world. The world could use a lot more people like you. I don't think something like that should go unnoticed :) .

Whether you like it or not, gay and lesbian rights are increasing and will go nowhere. Humans also believed at one point that blacks and women were inferior and did not deserve rights. We are now starting to realize that gays and lesbians deserve rights and are not inferior humans. This whole debate over gay and lesbian rights is just another evolution in human rights.

Love is love, no matter what the sexuality is. It should never be looked upon badly.

I could care less whether or not gays are allowed to have children or not, all I know is that traditional family values are so lost in time now and it's so sad. Gone are the days when a man would love a woman, propose, argue, and grow old with each other on their porch. I just hope that that doesn't have to be the case with me because I want to get married once and grow very, very old with my husband.

Until someone shows via scientific evidence that being raised by gay parents has some type of overwhelming (over 50%) chance of harming a child, I will always vote yes for letting gay couples adopt kids.

I've got to believe that there are gay couples who have raised a child to turn out to be completely straight! I don't think that's farfetched at all. As long as they are a positive addition to our society and not some crazy high-school shooter, than I think it's a good thing.

And the question isn't whether or not we think God approves of something. We have to decide if we want the government to give people the option to utilize their power of freewill and make that choice. Now with murder ... obviously we don't want to give them the option (or make strict punishments for taking that option.) ... But for gay marriage!!! Really???

Unfortunately it's the innate evangelism that plagues almost every religion which says that you are guilty for letting other people sin. That is utterly ridiculous. Why focus on 'redeeming' gays, when the are so many other legitimate ways to help our world. Sorry for rambling. I'm done.

i think people who discriminate toward gay couples are arrogant. love is love no matter what. i am sickened when i see people staring at me for wearing my gay pride shirt.
if you don't like it look the other way and move on. OoOoOoOoOo scary lesbian boo!

That is so true, Loveneko

I'm a normal girl. I want to get married, I want to have children, a puppy, a nice job and a good home for us all to live in. I want a happy, full love love life. And theres a chance I may not have that. I'm a lesbian. I can't legally be married. And in some states, I can't legally adopt children. I don't see why not. Love is love. I'm not sorry that I can't change who I love, I'm only sorry that people can't look past my sexuality and see the person that I am.

I don't get what this whole debate is about. No, I do not agree with lesbian and gay marriges. But evveryone deserves rights. I know that lesbian and gay marriges are wrong but why discriminate against it. I respect people of every kind and agree that they might have a different veiw on this. If they want to have children that is their choice. The child might get teased for having to parents of the same sex, but if the child is in a good home let it be. God will make the final judgment and decision.

People don't know what God thinks but they do know what he wants. Read the Bible some time.

it just blows my mind that people could care so much and juge someone purely on who they love! you can't tell someone who they can and can't like! also, if the baby is going to a good home, then it shouldn't be a problem. i'm not a lesbian, but it just irritates me when people discriminate based on something stupid like that. and does it ever in the bible clearly say that it's a sin to be gay? not to mention the fact that Christianity isn't the only religion in the world.

Hi,Hi, there is no reason to called people names like Jesusgirl or Black and White. And there is no need to called each other names. We are all trying to share our ideals. I have a questions that i want to asked everyone, and this whole questions is for everyone out there.
Why are we fighting amongs ourselves over this gay things?
Why don't we give every thing to God to answers for us if we really want to know?
Why don't we let God juged among us?
When is there going to be peaces and faith on earth? Where do we want gay people to be if not on earth with the reast?
How do we exccept them to live?
Whom are we to decied wthether is right or wrong for gay people to have children and namorall people to have children?
And are we perfect from gay people?
Why are we making decision for others?
All we need is to coporate with each other for earth the become a better place not fighting agaisnt each other. And pland for our futur and our childrens, childrens futur also. And build a shater for them live in. So people lets stoped worry about who's gay or not. Therefore, those who hating other for their choice stop it and be your self. And those who assumen of gay people being bad or not stop it be friend take them for who they are not for what they do or wear over their sink. Love those around you that what matters on this earth. Thank you.

Lets be friend not hating. That what God want for us to do.

if god was truly good, he would accept all people, no matter their sex, sexuality, race, or religion. so why support some one that does not accept everyone as they are? gays and lesbians, keep on fighting. maybe the discusting, prejudiced people that discriminate against you will come to their senses someday

Finnaly! Another Athiest! Belivie it or not, a few of my BEST FRIENDS were mad at me beacause of my religion. NOT FAIR! O and it dosent say anywhere in the constition that gays cant have kids. And how do we know what "God" wants anyway? Srry if offend anyone.

Geez it's their choose wether or not to have a kid!!! its none of your bizness. and gay people are all humans so why bother them? it how they live life, they arent hurting anybody!
