When I read this, I couldn't halp but think - as I often do when
reading Rob's posts:
"Wait until he finds out what STRAIGHT people do!"
It'll blow his mind.
After all, it would not be difficult to find children (adopted or
biological) of heterosexual couples who complain about awful childhoods
too. Girls who were sexually abused by their fathers; boys who watched
their mothers zone out on drugs and liquor because of an unahppy
marriage (you think only gays take drugs?); kids who were neglected or
beaten; boys whose fathers ridiculed them for not being "masculine"
enough.
I am sorry about the experiences of the girl who was quoted in the
original post, but she should realize that you don't have to be gay to
b a bad parent.
There have been quite a few studies done on the children of gay
parents, and the vast majority of them show that the kids are doing
fine. Rob, I find it hard to believe you realy care about these
children at all. If you did, you would look at their lives - with your
own two eyes, unblinded by prejudice or a desire to come to a
particular conclusion - and see that they are being raised in decent,
loving homes that their biological (and heterosexual) parents were
unable to provide. And you would be glad for them.
Frankly, the biggest problem these kids have is YOU. And people like
you. Because of the false and ugly rumors you spread about gay people,
children with gay parents are often ridiculed, ostracized, bullied, and
sometimes even physically attacked. If you care about kid, take a stand
against THAT.
