As you can imagine, this is a subject I have ...Ha! As you can imagine, this is a subject I have an opinion on. But maybe not for the reasons you think I do. Probably the biggest part of my opinion comes from being a christian. But it is also from my years of dog showing--knew a LOT of gay people and had some very good gay friends. And as a neonatal nurse, taking care of babies.<BR/><BR/>And I have to say, you know that was a skewed 'documentary,' don't you? In other words, to compare a kid from an abusive hetero home with kids from a loving gay home is not exactly a fair comparison. I would be interested in hearing some 40 year olds speak about their experience being raised in a gay home, or in a one-parent home (only one parent ever involved.)<BR/><BR/>But mostly how I feel about it is this. It is the same way I answer the question about myself "You've never had kids?" My answer is always the same. "no, I've never been married." I think that there are a multitude of very complex reasons that God created us to have a female mother and male father. I am sure some of those reasons will never be known to us.<BR/><BR/>Well, I guess I've said enough. I agree that in the United States, gays should have rights. They should be treated well, and with love. But that doesn't mean accepting their lifeSTYLE as that which is good and perfect. <BR/><BR/>BTW, the way I say it is this: I don't ever say 'homosexuality is wrong.' Being a homosexual is not wrong. Some people really are born that way, I am sure. But having homosexual sex is wrong, JUST THE SAME WAY as it would be wrong for me as a single woman to go to bars and 'hook up' because 'its not fair' that I never get to have sex.debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.com
