First, going to start this post by stating I'm not a homophobe. I know a few people who have come out & I am fine with them and them doing whatever they want.
After reading through your post it seems you are a homophobe. What you posted told me that you are scared what two parents of the same sex could do to a child. It seems you are fine with these "people" as "homosexuals" doing whatever they want except for getting married and raising a child. I wonder what they would think if you told them you were against it. How you thought they, being a couple of the same sex, could affect a child so drastically that it would change the childs life forever.

And those saying that it has nothing to do with adopting children etc - yes, it will affect that child a lot. Maybe not to be point of them also being gay but it will.
I don't see how besides a few narrow minded neanderthols teasing them about how they have parents of the same sex.

Children are raised with the ideology (at a young age) that there should be a mother and a father in a relationship and a family. Whilst they may learn this outside, it's the affect of living in a family with something different.
How would they know any different when they've been brought up from birth/baby in a loving family with two fathers? Or two mothers? Society teaches us that a family should be comprised of a mother and a father.

The thing is, children (and especially young ones) DO look up to their parents on how a life should be and as role models.
What's wrong with looking up to parents of the same sex? They can still be loving, caring to the kid and themselves. Is it a fact that a gay marriage, equally sucessful and caring as a straight marriage could change the thought process of the child just because they are gay?
It's people like you that keep this sort of narrow minded bullshit in this world. Just because they are gay and do not fit 'societies perfect family' they are not allowed to get married and have children of their own.
What do you think when you see two men holding hands and playing with a child? "Ewww that kid is going to be sooo f@$%ed up when he grows older. He never had the oportunity to live in a 'normal household'. I feel sorry for the poor bugger."
One day I hope gay marriage is legalised and they can adopt or have kids of their own.
p.s. And remember, just because you know "gay people" does not automatically make you
not a homophobe.
