    Umm, just personally, I'll stick to confining my lovey-dovey emotions for boys.

    I don't believe that being gay is natural. just from personal experience, the only gay people I have ever known have been...well, very weird, and usually not nice. But I don't think that they have contagious diseases or anything, I mean, undoubtedly they are normal, but I probably wouldn't like living around them.
    I used to study ballet, and most of the male ballet dancers were bisexual. I just find it weird. In my view, it simply doesn't fit.

    No offense meant, I don't consider any less of you if you are.
    As it is, I don't know if gay couples can adopt children where I live.

    gay people are normal! and im pretty sure its legal to adopt here... and im bi too... its unfair that gays and lesbians are discriminated against. just because some people dont think its normal doesnt mean that those people cant have or want children!

    I understand both sides of the argument personally Im a mother myself and its hard for me imagine any child growing up without there own mother regardless of there situation. I think its merely a precaution certain governments, and people are taking in relation to there traditional views and morals when it comes to parenting. We are often afraid of those things we cannot understand and I believe thats typically evident in homosexual parenting situations. It isn't about discrimination in the general sense but about the protection of the children. I understand it may seem discriminatory, I dont know how that feels in that aspect however so its hard for me to comment on an informed basis.
    I think its unfair to take the rights and beauties of the experiences of becoming and being parent from any person but would I approve of my sons growing up in a homosexual environment is a different story ...

    I'm not homophobic, but I don't think homosexuality is normal. Well it's not biologically normal. Men and women are created to reproduce - homosexuality defys that. I personally believe that it's a chemical imbalance in the brain (like depression, if you like). I don't mean any offence to that, but it shouldn't be in our nature to find the same sex sexually attractive.

    As for same sex couples adopting children, well I'm not sure where I stand on this. The world is accepting homosexuality more now that ever before, but does that make it fair on the child in question? It's positive, as it gives a more open minded view to the child, and more acceptance to other cultures and beliefs, but won't it be difficult as the child grows and realises that all their friends have a mommy and a daddy, and then don't?

    Although i think that having homosexual parents is fine, i wonder about the psychological effects on the child, not because theres anything wrong with the parents but that children were born to grow up with a male AND female as parents. Male and female are not just different by sexual parts but how their brain functions, therefore the child learns easily how to communicate with both.

    The same priniciple applies that having dinner at a table and socially discussing things between the family helps a child to be more social studies have shown.

    And to a point Andrew DOES have a point. Although society accepts it, five year olds dont know the difference and if someone has two mummys or two daddys then they seem weird. If peers think you're weird when your five, then that will have an affect on them later in life.

    Also Beautifully//Broken, thats an interesting theory, i actually read a study on MSNBC that said males with older brothers are more likely to become homosexual as adults on a biological basis. But there is a lot of debate as whether to say someone is BORN a certain way.
