All of that is speculation based on your flawed assumption that children don’t need morality in their lives.
Excuse me, I have morality, thank you very much. I was raised in a gay tolerant state where gay kids could kiss in the hallway at school and no one looked twice at them. I was raised by parents who told me it was just fine if I grew up and wanted to have a boyfriend OR a girlfriend.
It is extremely bigoted to say that people who don’t share your religious beliefs don’t have any morality. I’d say about 90% of the churches and temples in my area have gay pride flags out front to show their support for gay rights and acceptance.
Oh, yes, I grew up to be such a horrible person. Raised as a Catholic, but a pro gay marriage Catholic. Married to one man who is the only person I’ve ever slept with, work my whole life with cancer patients at a hospital. Never been arrested or a drug addict. Excitedly planning a family with my husband. I volunteer at my local unitarian church, and after we have our first child we plan on doing foster care for disabled kids.
Oh, look at my aunt, she is such an amoral person. She’s been married for 30 years and been a nurse for that time. She just got back from her latest trip to Africa with nurses without borders where she helped perform free operations to babies with urinary problems. She has two sons, one of whom is in medical school after being inspired by his mother’s lifetime of serivce. But she, despite being Catholic, is a gay marriage advocate who raised her kids to be accepting of homosexuals and homosexual rights. But oh, nope, she is an immoral person.
Let’s look at Dr. Paul Farmer of Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Dr. Farmer is the founder of “Partners in Health” and has dedicated his life to opening free health centers in the most impoverished areas of the United States and all over the world. He spends a huge amount of his time living and working in Haitian slums. In some aras of Haiti and Africa, his clinics are the only health care infrastructure available to people. He also is a gay marriage advocate.
Let’s look at my friend Adam, raised Catholic, raised to be told it was okay to be gay, then came out in high school and has been living as a gay man. Adam is very involved in his church and volunteers as the music instructor. he also has a doctorate in biochemical engineering and spent years working on cancer research before becoming a professor at the Univeristy of New Hampshire. Adam has never been arrested, never even been drunk so far as I know. But oh, he wasn’t raised to hate gays, so he can’t possibly have morals.
Lesley is a married heterosexual friend of mine who is expecting her first hcild and a huge advocate of gay marrriage. She is a scientist in biology who does research for a local Boston non profit hospital. The most important things to her is her work and its contributions to health care, and her family. She can’t wait for her upcoming baby!
Man, you’re right, raising children to be okay with gays and accept gay marriage can make them do horrible, immoral things…like be doctors, nurses, scientists, volunteers, and start one of the biggest health care charities in the world.
One thing this web page really does is make me so grateful for my family. I honestly think if most of the people posting here had been my parents, I would have killed myself, considering how horribly you people treat those you claim to love oh so much, and how you lie and tell them that they are horrible people who only fight for gay rights because they want to undermine society and families, and how you say anyone who doesn’t hate the same people you hate is immoral. Not to mention your truly disgusting claim that people who can’t have sex or have babies, thorugh no fault of their own, can’t ever really know love for another group of people.
I mean, I imagine all the work I’ve done in my life to be a good person, to be self reliant, a responsible law abiding citizen, to help others through my work, my charitable donations, and my volunteer work…and then have a parent who would tell me, “Oh, but none of that counts because you don’t hatge who I hate. Only people who hate the same people I hate are good people. Everyone else is worthless, immoral, and trying to ruin the world. Like you!” I don’t want to imagine a parent so emotionally abusive that they did not give me credit for any good thing I had ever done in my life, and said the only thing that mattered is who I refuse to hate and be intolerant of.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for my parents not being living word unity!!
