Adult Children Speak Out About Same-Sex Parents

You don't get to choose your parents. I understand how she feels, I actually identify with her on so many levels but she'll make herself sick worrying about other people.

What was it like for Cassidy being raised by two women she called "Mom" and "My Pat"?

Some things are too easy to pass up.

[cyborg]

LOL!!!

Why does she oppose same-sex marriage? "It's not something that a seal of approval should be stamped on: We shouldn't say it is a great and wonderful thing and then you have all these kids who later in life will turn around and realize they've been cheated. The adults choose to have that lifestyle and then have a kid. They are fulfilling their emotional needs -- they want to have a child -- and they are not taking into account how that's going to feel to the child; there's a clear difference between having same-sex parents and a mom and a dad."

Pretty much says it all.

Interested?

I feel for this woman. She confirms what I've always expected is the norm for children of same sex couples. I hope she'll give private, closed door testimony to the senate.

Actually, I thought that the children would have problems to deal with. Kind of sad because no matter what the gays say, it is un-natural to be homosexual which is also the reason a homosexual cannot procreate, they always need a third party.

[Chieftain]

"Whenever I see it on TV, something inside of me says NO. I don't think it's fair that the kids are being put in this situation. They don't have a choice about it."

I guess the "Heather has two Mommies" crowd will get their panties in a real wad about this story.

The homosexual agenda is GREEDY and selfish and uses any means to justify their perversion. Children are nothing but a tool to them.

No wonder they are an integral part of the DemocRATic Party.

Actually, my gay accountant is a Republican and she and her partner feel the same way this woman does about gays having children.

[cake_crumb]

I agree with your accountant.

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[cyborg]

Some people are selfish. But I say again, she can't control other people and can't choose her parents.

[B Knotts]

No kidding. I think it is absolutely unavoidable for that image to pop into your head when you read about a woman named "Pat" in a same-sex "marriage."

[FourPeas]

You don't get to choose your parents. I understand how she feels, I actually identify with her on so many levels but she'll make herself sick worrying about other people.

I don't know that it would be any better for her if she just tried to ignore it. There's something therapeutic about being able to share why what you experienced others need to avoid.

[freekitty]

I agree with you accountant too. It's unfair to these kids not to be able to experience a mom and dad.

[annyokie]

Not to sound like I have a large circle of gay friends, but I had lesbian neighbors, an attorney and her partner, who had a little boy (I didn't ask about the circumstances) who was darling, of course, but I always doubted the wisdom of their decision.

[johnb838]

And she was one of the lucky ones that (it sounds like) had a reasonably stable home life. Oh, I know there are others, and the gay homosexual militants will trot out as many of them as they can, but I'm sure that there will be plenty more that never marry, spend their lives in therapy trying to get straightened out, act out with drugs and alcohol, and all the other wonderful things that happen to people who live in dysfunctional families at critical times in their youth. What I"m saying is I'm betting the percentage of these "families" that are unstable is extraordinarily high.

[k2blader]

What I'm saying is I'm betting the percentage of these "families" that are unstable is extraordinarily high.

No doubt!

And this is very un-PC to say, but it's bad enough that divorce is accepted in our society. That's already hurting children.

[cyborg]

I'm not saying she should not talk but she can't turn back the clock on her own life. She almost sounds like she wishes she had not been born.
