Same sex stuff

I personally think everyone is entitled to love and be loved, no matter if is same sex or not.

Am not too sure on the parentin thing tho. That said, one of my Best mates mum is a lesbian, but wasn't when she was concieved. Get my drift?

My brother is gay and i wouldnt change him for the world! I think he would make an awesome dad one day too!

I have nothing against it at all

I';m sure we've talking about this before. I went to school with a number of girls that are/were gay and I had no problems with them; even thou they thought that I would have a problem (me being a quite out there girl in my 7th form year) knowing they were that way. Go figure.

However with parenting. If 2 chicks were to have a boy I would feel for the boy, Young boys need male role models and i'm just noticing in Andrew that he is missing that male figure in the house. And I would say it would be the same for 2 guys if they had a girl she would need a woman role model.

I dont really have strong views on it but I hate it when people shove it in your face. Like the outrageously gay people who are way over the top. Im not over the top in my hetro relationship so i dont want to see others all over each other etc... each to thier own.

I dont think gay people make worse parents, again as long as the lifestyle is not the main focus but a loving family environment.

Yes, thats how I feel. I hate PDA and all that with hetro as well. And I guess, some kids don't even get opposite sex parents who look after them well. At least with a gay couple, they have chosen to be parents.

I have no problems at all with gay or lesibian couples or parents.

What I do have a problem with is the P parents, the ones using weed and alcohol during and after pregnancy instead of looking after their baby, child abuse and the awful rates of sexual abuse on our babies that goes unnoticed...(ekk sorry Stacey off the topic)

Ok getting back to lesbian couple I know.

One is a primary school teacher the other a registered nurse both a loving couple brought their own home together etc. Decided on kids and now have 2 with the father being the same for both. He has contact and is a very close family friend. Their oldest is now 7 and youngest is 3. They are the most intelligent, stable and happy kids, I have babysat for them a few times and they used to have my girls for me in the holidays when I was working pre Alize!!

Yep I thought we had.

Andrew still has males around him (and my friends DH even told him off on Monday) I think as he has grown up with DH in the house he is thinking he can get away with things. But like you said they still have role models.

And plus they will have them from birth so be in that enviroment from day one.

One of my bestest friends is a lesbian and has been in a relationship for a long time, they were going down the adoption route but unfortunately her partner got a brain tumour so everything is on hold why they see what happens. (She had surgery last year but there is a chance it could return).
I would fully support them in it as knowing them I know that they would make great devoted parents. As for the role models I don't think lesbians raising a boy would be any worse than a single mum raising a boy, plus there are always lots of other male role models around like uncles and granddads etc, the same could be said for a gay couple not being any different to a single dad raising a girl.
I think the most important thing is that the child would be raised in a loving family environment, be that a hetro couple, a gay couple, a lesbian couple or single parents.

I don't like PDA either by anyone.

What is PDA???

Public Display of Affection. Not so much hand holding, but the kidding full on, groping etc, almost riding weach other walking down the street.
