Would this be morally right?

As a young woman from that area of the world it makes me sad to hear that. I believe anyone can care for a child regardless of the sexes of the two in the relationship. As long as the child has food, shelter, clothes, water & loving parents, then I don’t see the problem. This time Russia goes too far.

Russia is debating whether to have children removed from same-sex households because of the parents alone. Could this morally just in the slightest when there’s no abuse?

Although no one wants to admit it in this country (the USA), what Russia is doing today is what was once commonplace 50 to 75 years ago in the US and most of Western Europe.
Back then, most male homosexuals were not in the closet, they were hidden under the floor of the closet.
Just think of the movie star Rock Hudson a few years ago. For almost the whole of his career, his homosexuality was a closely guarded secret because if he was “outed” his career would have been over.
Up until about 20 years ago when the US Supreme Court threw out the sodomy laws of - I forget which State, almost all States had very strict Anti-Sodomy laws on the books that were strictly enforced.
There were many gay people that were imprisoned for many years under these laws! There were even instances where strait people were sent to prison for indulging in oral or anal sexual practices.
So, for those of you with a liberal mind set who are prone to fall for the gay lobbies propaganda in the US, Canada and Western Europe, remember that social mores operates like a giant pendulum. What is permissible in one era becomes taboo in the next, then back to permissiveness, etc., etc., etc. It is only a matter of time before today’s liberal attitude towards sexual activity ends, and gays will have to go undercover (no pun intended) again
It seems that with our current liberal attitude towards homosexuality today, perhaps, we are the odd man out with regards to the rest of the world. Homosexuality is still taboo, not only in Eastern Europe and Russia, but also in much of South America and the Far East. It is also taboo in most Moslem Countries, except that some bi-sexuality is privately tolerated in the wealthy upper classes.
All of this is probably uncomfortable to some of you, but it is factual social history.
 
Taking emotion out of the topic, along with arguments focused on adults getting to do what they please under the large umbrella of their “rights”, and looking instead at the facts related to what is best for children, I would come to the same conclusion as Russia-- children raised in same-sex households are in an abusive situation.

Despite what Hollywood wants everyone to think, the evidence points in the other direction when it comes to SS households with children.
 
Wow! Russia is impressing me more by the day! Too bad we couldn’t get some policies like that in the US and other countries! Who would have ever thought Russia would be the new moral world leader!

As long as the children are being placed into good homes, it is very moral to remove them from a home where they have no chance of being brought up with good morals. The state has a vested interest in making sure that the children’s well being is considered.
 
Not allowing same-sex couples to be guardians in the first place seems easy. Taking away children that are already being raised by a same-sex couple makes it excessively more ugly and difficult. They would see you burn by a stake for it - the couple and the child, and you can be absolutely certain that you will make martyrs of them. In theory it would be right, except with the state being so heavily flawed as it is, I doubt it would do much good. The reason being is that it is difficult - bordering on impossible - to ever successfully control same-sex relationships and child-rearing while heterosexual marriages themselves are in shambles and contracepting is the norm, which is effectively wrong for the same principle of why gay sex is wrong. Condoning the one and not the other is inconsistent, but that is where the majority of the Russian population stands. This is why the CC and perhaps a few other minor orthodox denominations are really the only institutions that can make a defensible case on the issue.

In what ways are children raised in same-sex households abused?

Abuse is probably too strong a word, but what else do you call it when you deny children both a mother and a father? I suspect in the long run we will have sound research that shows that children from normal parental families do better in measures of social interaction than do children from same sex parents. But even disregarding these effects of such parenting, it is simply wrong to deny me from having both my mother and my father! One could argue I feel this way simply because that was my background, that is what is normative to me. But that simply denies the human experience. We instinctively know the inherent value of a family with parents from each sex. Children raised by a single father or mother from very early ages wish they had the other parent. They experience the lives of their friends and see the special nurturing love of a mother and the protection and strength of their fathers. They know what they are missing. And they deserve it!

Writers from same sex families have written about how they instinctively knew they were missing a parent. Of course some children of same sex parents may never express this sense of loss, but it still remains the fact that they were denied the experience of family that was meant to be! To deny a child a mother and father is simply something society has no right to allow. I would fight to the death for each of my parents. Who are we to tell the next generation of children that they dont deserve the right to have the mother and father family that we had the joy of experiencing? Is that abuse? Not as we normally think of the term, but it is certainly a type of neglect.
 
Well it may be going to far but if the kids are brought up with gay parents then they may be influenced to be gay. I see both sides of the issue, I love Russia’s rich culture although they have a huge blot because of communism, but they were never known to implement the best laws. I would concentrate more on the issues of the U.S. which is something you can help change if you are an American citizen.

They are constantly exposed to moral perversion and a twisted version of family life. Because of this they have little hope of developing a proper moral character.

And I don’t think abuse is too strong of a word.
