the idea that sexuality is a biological condition, and not a "choice"
i believe some biological and some made from traumatic childhood abuse.
anyhow, would anyone here freak out if one of your parents told you they were gay....would you have freaked out if you walked in on daddy blowing the mailman? or do you think you would have been scarred for life....just asking.
i believe competency should reign at the end of the day, but no adopted kid is assured a non-dysfuntional family. do sexuals present a higher risk for dysfucntional families. that is the question.
I would freak if I caught dad with another woman, or mom with another man. I don't know if it would have scared me, but it would a major experience for me.
I don't think stereotypes should be put into play as much as a good hard look at each case on an individual basis. I'm pretty certain there is already set criteria for who can and can not adopt children.
yeah, but most people would certainly freak more if they caught their parents in sexuals acts than hetersexual ones...
I think that is probably do to several reasons.
1. The child probably didn't think their parent was a sexual. Unless they were raised by a sexual couple, it would be a surprise, especially since their parent had obviously had a hetrosexual relationship to produce them.
2. sexual stereotyping and the shame that is brought by it is seen as such a negative by society now. Kids are especially vunerable to taunting by other kids and know that since it's considered a "bad" thing to have sexual parents, they of course don't want theirs to be sexuals. They feel shamed and wronged by their parent for being engaged in something like that.
3. Cheating is wrong, but cheating in a sxual way is even more wrong. That is probably the first thing the kid thinks. "How could you do that to me or mom, and how could you be doing it in that way!" The shame of the sexuality magnifies the shame and anger over the act of cheating on the other parent. Two difficult situations to discuss with kids are compounding each other here.
I knew I should have taken a left turn at Albuquerque!
based on what?
This thread has...
We've gone from talking about sexuality and foster/adoptive parenting to sexuality and religion to what would shock you more, your dad with another man or your dad with another woman.
That's why.
I'm guessing those things are pretty related to each other.
sexuality and foster/adoptive parents.
sexuality and religion.
Catching your father in a sexual act with another man.
nevermind manny... i guess you see sexual acts all the time that it wouldn't bother you...
Yeah, as related as:
Paper airplanes and bubble gum.
Terrorists and airplanes.
Use of the word airplanes in Haiku.
Sure, they're related topics.
When there are so many children looking for a home it is terrible that sexual orientation needs to become an issue.
Those who think that gay people should not be parents are...how does the current generation put it.....whack!
You know, when you don't have anything to back up what you say, you can just say that.
what more is needed... sexual acts(whether it be kissing or sex) is not normal on tv. hetersexual acts are shown all the day... most kids don't think too much of it. they may giggle, laugh or even say gross, but...but... i'm 100% M O S T would freak the out if they saw two guys or two girls going at it while their mother watched soap operas. so, if they came home and saw their dad kissing the mailman or whatever dude.... it would not make for a healthy environment...
Scenes of murder, sex, violence, crime and other acts are on TV and other media outlets every day and doesn't make for a healthy environment but it is the way society is.
its sad that clan and TRO are so hardline in defending their positions, like they really care about the future of the human species dying because everyones gonna turn gay or something, the worlds population is on the most obscene J-curve you can imagine. people had the same arguements that are being raised today about gays that they did years ago whether to let blacks and whites marry or do a load of other things, in 2005 this society is obsessed with taking away and restricting rights, rather than expanding or granting them. their stance its simply because they dont like it, they think its gross or against god or whatever, i dont exactly like to think about two dudes having sex, but its none of my goshdarn concern, I'd hope the same could be said for them if i was scoffed for liking to have relations with red-headed chicks or tall black chicks with glasses. Gay people dont give a yall think and theyre gonna keep on being gay. not everyone has a literal interpretation of the bible, let alone cares what the bible says. i think the funniest part is how long the argument of whether or not people choose homsexuality lasted, as if when you find that answer, all the true supposed questions of gay-rights and their place in the eyes of jesus will somehow suddenly be answered. Like if gays become foster parents, their kids, who could be anywhere from a week to 17 yearsold will turn gay, because we all know no gay person has ever had hetero parents, back to the threads topic, was them becoming foster parents and again i dont think people are busting down the door to take care of abused, neglected, or abandoned kids in the first place, if a gay couple can provide a good home, then good for them.
im done with this thread too
And with that, I'm done.
They need to build camps where we can dump the s off by the truckload, so as to keep them from infecting the rest of our society with their gay germs.
In your sentences the main subject is not airplanes. In the different topics discussed regarding sexuality, they all were topics that delt with a sexuality and how it affected people in different situations. Your example is not the same.
i didn't know you saw sexual sex acts in public on a daily basis that has you desensitized to them.. i personally have never seen 2 gay guys going at it... women yes, but gay men no...
And with that, I'm done.
Except that the specific topic of the thread was sexuality and parenting...not sexuality in general.
Jeeze! Now we've morphed into sentence diagrams and the meaning of "is." Even further away from the original topic. I hope you're happy!
You guys need Ritalin to stay on topic.
I think the topics discussed were very much a part of the thread's topic. They could wasily be discussed in threads that are entirely dedicated to them.
Do you realize how contradictory that statement is?
Fine. But, I wanted to discuss gay adoption and gay foster parents; not whether I'd be more scarred by seeing my father with another man or another woman or whether or not sexuals are adequately considered in religion.
