I can only assume this is because those two parents have a better respect for what it means to be dedicated since they probably have to work much harder to become a "family" in the first place; and not because it is always better to have two mothers or two fathers.<br /><br />Still, that does not make it natural or best, and I agree with you that normal families can often be terrible/worse than less-than-normal families... but this is not the rule, it is the occasional exception, if that makes sense.Jemronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313639770988733496.post-30732512563145325332011-02-14T13:52:41.749-06:002011-02-14T13:52:41.749-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Krit Pettyhttp://www.kritpetty.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313639770988733496.post-10339018483115854992011-02-14T13:52:40.853-06:002011-02-14T13:52:40.853-06:00Lauren:

I come from a household that had, well, an "unfortunate" father to put it mildly and I grew up in a single parent household. So I didn't have that core family, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a family.<br /><br />I don't think it is about the legalization of sex either. i think it is about the emotional bond that two people have for each other. I hate to have it all come down to semantics about the term "Marriage" when everything else is the same.<br /><br />Adoption: I know gay couples who have adopted and make great parents. Sure, it may not be ideal, but it is much better than the families I know who have had 2-3 kids then the father finally admits he's gay and the family is then ruined.Krit Pettyhttp://www.kritpetty.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313639770988733496.post-72858684596776391312010-12-06T16:21:59.041-06:002010-12-06T16:21:59.041-06:00I really like this outlook.

I am a practicing Mormon, and I believe that Homosexual relations are morally wrong, but I too have struggled to "choose a side" when discussing the legalization of gay marriage. I have a hard time explaining to my friends how I feel, because they are unwilling (understandably) to accept "Because God says so" as a justifiable reason for witholding certain rights form people who have different sexual preferences than I do.<br /><br />However, one thing that I do somewhat disagree with here is that this is about the legalization of Homosexual sex. It isn't about that at all. This is about the legalization of homosexual marriage. And, in my opinion, homosexual marriage can be detrimental to society as a whole, not just morally wrong.<br /><br />This is, in my opinion, why the LDS church has taken such a strong stand. They believe that it is not only bad morally, but it is bad socially as well in the long run. I believe this too.<br /><br />The legalization of homosexual marriage is potentially detrimental to society because the "family" (a man and a woman with children) is the foundation (the basic building block) of society. Take that away, and you don't have a the fundamentals of a natural society.<br /><br />Anyway, I really like what you brought up, but I do think that in the long run, homosexual marriage is dangerous not just morally, but socially as well.<br /><br />Now, that doesn't mean that homosexual couples shouldn't be given certain rights that other married couples have, it just shouldn't be called "marriage" as that is reserved for men and women to unite to create a family.<br /><br />Finally, one thing that has always bugged me a bit is the adoption issue. Yes, obviously gay couples can't have children; so does it make it okay for them to adopt? There are many good heterosexual couples who choose to adopt because they can't have children. This, to me, is perfectly acceptable because they would if they could. Homosexual couples, for obvious reasons, can't have children, but isn't that a choice they're making? So, should they be allowed to adopt? I say yes, if the parents/agency doing the adopting are okay with it, but it is a bit of a gray area to me.<br /><br />What are your thoughts on this?Lauren (Kip Mylo)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10734697630811718701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313639770988733496.post-77111437602064909742010-08-30T13:15:12.052-05:002010-08-30T13:15:12.052-05:00"Hello, gentlemen, look at your woman, now ba..."Hello, gentlemen, look at your woman, now back to me, now back at your woman, now back to me.
