Male animals don't adopt cubs

First off, sex has nothing to do with love, sex is an itch, and can be an addiction. there are all kinds of love, love for children, love for your male friends, love for your wife, love for your dog, love is Intelligent not a feeling. Second is, have you ever seen or know two male animals take care of their cubs? Third, if this was about two straight man wanting to adopt or foster children, do you think they would have a chance in hell? Fourth, it changes the Definition of Man and woman. what are we all the same sex? Fifth and last, is that it is incest.

Webster Dictionary (Marriage is between a man and woman)

Changing the definition of woman and man.

incest (incestuous)=sexual intercourse between persons so closely related that marriage is illegal.

Distinctly related by manhood, Brothers of mankind.

Girl,

a female child, a young unmarried woman of any age.

Woman

/n.pl women. woman, wife+man= human being. :an adult female person.

Boy

a male child

Man

an adult male, Husband.

This is what Obama had to say about it,

. Obama’s lawyers equate same-sex marriage with child marriage and incest between cousins. They say that the Defense of Marriage Act doesn’t deny anyone’s right to equality under the law, because it gives the states the option of whether to respect those rights. They even argue that there’s no discrimination against same sex couples anyway, because homosexuals have just as much right to marry someone of the opposite sex as anyone else.

…oh, one more thing, sex is between a man and woman anything other than that is a perveres act.

Please I need comments

Hello,

I come from France and I would like to know more about gay adoption in the USA. I would like to know a littlz bit more about the laws, and the way of thinking of americans about it. It would be really nice if you could give me some informations.

Thank you.

Sigh.....

Some of these responses are unbeleivable. To those who raise the arguement pertaining to the many heterosexual couples waiting to adopt for years, do you know why that is? Sad to say it is because they are waiting for a nice healthy blond hair blue eyed child to fit into thier image of the perfect family. There is a case in florida of two gay men(honestly cant remember the names)who foster a ton(around 10 i think?) of children. Most are minorities and have serious developmental and physical problems. These men have taken in kids no one else will love yet risk them being stripped of the only family they have ever known becuase florida wont let them adopt. That is the true abomination.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A LIFE CHOICE! Do you honestly believe that one day i woke up and thought, "huh, i think ill become gay so i can lead a life of ridicule and hardship." I found myself attracted to other boys when i was a child myself. My parents were a man and woman, good christian parents, provided a stable home. Guess what, still gay, always have been. You speak of the bibles condemnation of homosexuality. Do you realize much of what is written stems from pagan moral codes and has been grossly misinterpreted? Lets not talk about the gap between jesus death and when the new testament actually began to take shape, or how many languages it was translated through allowing misinterpretations. If that isnt enough i ask when the last time you stoned an adulterer was. You, havent stoned and adulterer lately? I guess you can just pick and choose then huh?

This is about love and finding homes for children who desperatly need one. Need i remind you that our forfathers stressed a little concept involving keeping the church and state seperate? So that said, legally what the bible says and the "moral issues" one has stemming from the bible have no place in laws governing same sex adoption to begin with. You are fighting a loosing battle, move on and find something that will truely help mankind.

same sex marriage

i think that people should not care if others are gay and getting married even if they are straight and have problem with it. they need to look at it this way "hey i am not gay andi am not getting married to another man or another woman so i shouldnt care because its not me!"

gays

are nice people and can raise a child

same sex marriage

I am a student in Milwaukee Public Schools. It's so hard to see our country fighting over something like this. Maybe we should consider the fact that maybe these people are happy the way they are.

?

I do not understand. What does sexual orientation have to do with raising a child? As far as I can tell, nothing.

Homosexual parents are no more able or inable than heterosexual parents. Homosexual parents are just as likly, and perhaps even less likly, to molset thier children than heterosexual parents. And what would be harder to explain to a child, that they have two mommies, or that their daddy raped their mommy?

I thought so.

Although I haven't met many homosexuals, I have never met, seen, or even heard of a homosexual who had a single mean bone in their bodies. Not once. And with as monitored as this topic is, don't you think that any sort of action that could be considered abuse would have been reported by now?

Think about it.

i thought of wisdom

i don't believe in gay people because of my religion but i don't think they should be treated differently they are still human!!!! and should be allowed to adopt

A Straight Man comments!

I'm a straight man and I'd very much like to personally agree with the above comments, then go on to say that straight people SHOULD NOT have a say in the rights of gay and/or lesbian rights, as both of those groups are still human, still citizens of America, and still deserving of all the rights of their fellow men and women. Just because of a sexual preference people shouldn't be looked down on from a legal OR social standpoint! I'm here to say I have a LOT of gay and bisexual friends myself, and I enjoy being with them as much as I enjoy being with my straight friends!! So really America, let up on gays and lesbians, okay?!

Why do straight people get to dettermine if gay people can adopt or even get married!?

ok seriously this is what pisses me off i dont understand how the hell straight people have the right to tell gays or lesbians they cant get married or cant adopt. I am 18 years old and i have happily been with my GF for almost 2 years now and we have been friends for about 5. i love her with all my heart and it really kills when we both want to have children one day (she is going to have one) and then i have to jump through all these loops just to claim the child as mine. Straight people telling what gay and lebians cant do is always going to be the crappy end of the deal for us because thats just the way people are they want the better half so straight people are going to make sure they have better and more rights then us. im not sayin that all straight people are like that but get real if they all werent like that then we would be able to marry the person we love and adopt children as easy as they do.
