it is a logical fallacy to assume that because things have only been done one way for a long period of time, that that is then the only and best way to do things. think for example of slavery, it was around for thousands of years (and is still around) before even the U.S. changed its laws. so because people have been in bondage for ages then we should continue to enslave them? it must be right because thats the way that things have been done for so long! tradition can in no way equate correctness, hence the reason people everywhere have worked for change, against the sanction of tradition, for centuries.
They type of slavery you're talking about was always unethical and still is.
I have 2 friends who are a gay couple. They are foster parents to two kids who were abused and neglected by their birth parents and bounced from one unhealthy foster home to another.
My friends took these kids in, gave them stability, taught them how to behave in public, got them into great schools and it took a lot of hard work because these kids are a handful after the abuse they have suffered. It is not easy at all. They have given up a lot of their lives just to help these kids.
Now they are going to adopt them because they love the kids. These kids were on the road to being juvenile delinquents, maybe prisoners or prostitutes, nobody wanted them. (that's what happens to most kids who 'age out' of they system)
Those kids could have been handed to a normal family too.
Now those kids gonna grow up believing homosexuality to be a normal thing.
A good stable home with parents who love them is all they needed. How dare people try to take that away.
What about the morals and values?
Now they are thriving at a good school and in a loving home.
Unless these anti-gay adoption folks are willing to take in all the unwanted foster children in the system they better stop this nonsense.
There's a long list of normal parents willing to adopt those kids but unfortunately the orphanges don't consider homosexuality to be a fault and base the adoption on the good finances.
You said you have no problem with homosexuality but that's not good enough for us to accept it , you shouldn't assume that if you're okay with gays and lesboz, others should follow you.
There is a recent study that shows that there might be a connection between genetics and pedophilia, I wonder how many people would accept this as "normal"????
