Gay couples can’t legally get married in Texas, but they are allowed to raise children. It’s controversial, but very common — especially in San Antonio.

Census numbers show the city has a higher percentage of gay couples raising kids than any other city in the United States.

“We’ve chosen to have these children because we can’t have them naturally,” Andy Sutherland-Trevino said.

Nothing is stopping Andy Sutherland-Trevino from being a parent. He’s fostered 21 children, adopted four and is in the process of adopting another child.

“People ask me, ‘How do you do it,’ and I just say . . .”

Supposed to sound cute I guess.

Odd to me any guy wants this many young kids not his own and not without a woman around. Not in the psychological make-up of any guy I’ve known. No…not that we don’t like kids. Its just, you know. Guys accept responsibility, love their own kids but don’t get gushy (“TATA”) over the situation.

Are you speaking for all guys?

Not these two obviously.

Never suggested I was anyways. I thought “any guy I’ve known” made that clear. Guess not.

And here I thought you found it odd that any guy would want those kids.
 
He must really like all those little boys. There was no mention the gender of the children at all except one veiled reference to a “he” at the end of the article. How can two “fathers” help a young girl through puberty? And why would two gay men want a house full of little boys. (I know a couple of **former, **and currently incarcerated, priests that could answer that!)
“I don’t think they (gay people) can be the kind of parents that a child needs. They may need that for themselves, but I question whether the child would have a valuable experience with that kind of a background,” said Dr. Irv Loev, a marriage and family therapist.

I wonder how any single fathers helps young girls through puberty?

Perhaps they have chosen a house full of kids because they choose to provide a loving environment for orphans.

We might also ask why anyone would want a house full of kids. Any ideas?

My Fa and uncle reared me following my parent’s divorce and somehow managed to steer me through puberty. They got me books and made sure I had some one on one time with my female relatives.
 
They adopt because they cannot have them naturally. That is an indidrect admission that homosexuality is against the laws of nature, and also a demonstration of the parasitical nature of gay couples adopting.

Those who reject Christianity (or Islam for that matter) and embrace atheism and “science-ism” adopt evolution as a dogma more important to them than than the Resurrection of Jesus is to a Catholic. These are very people who yell the loudest about “gay rights”.

I find it interesting that these same people ignore the fact that Natural Selection, the center-piece of evolution would never select homosexuality. Natural selection states that only those individual organisms that are able to reproduce are “selected” by nature. Thus homosexuals are evolutionary dead-ends.

Many people claim that homosexuality is natural because people are born that way. Okay, some people are born schizophrenic or bi-polar. Does that mean we should not help them with those and other congenital mental disorders? Does that mean we should hate sufferes of schizophrenia or bi-polar disorder? Of course not we should help them. We should not tell them that the way they are is “natural” and therefore we should do nothing and let them suffer or do harm to others.

I suggest you can try fostering some kids. After you do so, pls let the rest of us know yr experience. Fostering damaged and injuried children is a huge challenge. Best wishes for your endeavor. And btw, let us know how the loving home of a gay couple is “parasitical.”

By parasitical, you are perhaps refering to the parasites like the anal worms that dogs and cats can get? Hence, the reference to lesbian and gay couples? And their kids?

Do enjoy the responses here. And I also enjoy forwarding them to the gay chat forums. Just to let them know of the “love” of some self described christians. Reinforces lesbian and gay men’s decisions to keep such toxins away from their families.

Where are you getting the idea that homosexuality is a mental disorder? That is not a teaching of the Catholic Church that I know of. Homosexual behavior is a sin, but, by definition, sins are not mental disorders. If you think homosexuality is a mental disorder, than you cannot think that the act is a sin. Because to sin, you must do the act of your own free will.

What is the parasitical nature of gay couples adopting? Why is it parasitical? Why use such an inflamatory term?

I think the Church’s position, and IMHO the correct one, is that it would have been better that a girl’s mother help her through those years. But one makes do as one can.

The Catholic Catechism states that homosexuality is thought to be a disorder, as listed below:

Chastity and homosexuality

[2357](http://javascript:OpenPopupWindow(%22%3cp%3e%3cA%20HREF=# onclick=window.opener.SetPage()
Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
2358
The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God’s will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord’s Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.
[2359](http://javascript:OpenPopupWindow(%22%3cp%3e%3cA%20HREF=# onclick=window.opener.SetPage()
Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

How can two “fathers” help a young girl through puberty?

Ummm, the same way my husband would if I died? Are you infering that if a woman dies, her husband should have their daughters removed from the home and raised by a woman to “help them through puberty”?
