We had a discussion about gay marriage in my economics class and a fellow classmate brought up a thinkable predicament. lets say a lesbian couple adopts a boy, the boy is being deprived of a father-like figure and is absorbing more feminine qualities... same way the other way around. Also, he said that he wouldnt want his kid growing up near a gay couple since the kid might pick up on their choices...




i AM for gay marriage though, just bringing up a good point that had me thinking.

No, just no.... Does the government take away all children from single parents? There is a ton of people being raised by single mothers, and they are doing fine. Or from broken shitty homes where the children are getting much worse that a little lack of "male attention"? There's no "choices" that your kid would pick up from being around a gay couple; that's not how things work. So you're fine living near a pervert, or woman abuser, or drunk, but a gay person is bad? Your child can turn into a pervert, woman abuser, or a drunk, but they can't turn into being gay if they're not. There are also studies showing that gays are better parents than straight ones, so what ever they're doing it's working.

okay first off, i never said the kid should be taken away from single parents or gay couples, i merely said it sucks since the kid is missing out on both ( not suck as in bad you should know what i mean). and most of you dont understand, when i say choice i mean being gay, just to clarify.and its not wrong living next to a gay person its just that since they are around gay people they might be... you know already. annd yes they can be gay if they tried it and actuallyu liked it more and just dropped women... gays are "better" parents now because they have to prove it to people to allow them to marry, just wait, when it becomes legalized for gays to marry, and im hoping it will be legalized, the gay couples arent going to try as hard after a while. they are just like regular couples when it comes to it

I'm gonna assume that you either used the wrong word or a very much mistaken but just in case you aren't either; Being gay is not a choice. You cannot be infected or swayed by gayness. Is that clear, not a choice!
#70 to #36 - N. Korean citizen (05/22/2012) [-]
Sometimes it's a choice, other times it's how you were born. I'm bisexual. I wasn't born liking the same sex, but I grew to like them because of my own reasons. That doesn't make it any less real.
#71 to #70 - prancingkid (05/22/2012) [-]
I'm sorry but I just don't know how to react to that. I mean I could argue with you but I'm guessing it wouldn't do anything to change your opinion. And who am I to tell you what governs your sexuality anyway? Although I would like to know why you think this, what are your reasons?
#90 to #71 - N. Korean citizen (05/22/2012) [-]
I wish it were a genetic thing, bc then there'd be hope for a cure.
User avatar #93 to #90 - trimageryan (05/22/2012) [-]
I wish there was a cure for your stupidity -.-
User avatar #49 to #36 - joshthepoet (05/22/2012) [-]
Actually, you can. It can be from genetics, but you can also be swayed by your environment around you. It doesn't necessarily mean that a child with gay parents will grow up gay, grated they have the same exposure as every other kid, but a kid sealed off with gay parents might. You can't just say it's genetics outright, because that simply isn't true in some cases.
User avatar #37 to #36 - somepervert (05/22/2012) [-]
how is it not a choice? its not like you were genetically created gay
#39 to #37 - prancingkid (05/22/2012) [-]
Actually yes, people who are gay are BORN gay. Sorry to inform you, where exactly did you get this idea that gay people choose to be gay?
User avatar #48 to #39 - somepervert (05/22/2012) [-]
tell me where do you get your theory that people are born gay?
#54 to #48 - prancingkid (05/22/2012) [-]
I asked you first.
User avatar #62 to #54 - somepervert (05/22/2012) [-]
when you are born and growing up you figure out which sex you like. kind of hard to explain but that is a choice. a simple choice is choosing between man and women. a difficult choice is changing back. in some sort.
User avatar #92 to #62 - trimageryan (05/22/2012) [-]
Then what age did you choose to be straight?
User avatar #229 to #92 - somepervert (05/23/2012) [-]
as soon as i was like 6 when i got a crush on this girl. i couldve been gay, who knows.
User avatar #233 to #229 - trimageryan (05/23/2012) [-]
So you chose to have a crush on that girl?
User avatar #235 to #233 - somepervert (05/23/2012) [-]
no i figured out i liked girls/woman when i was 6... when i got a crush on her, i became interested in other girls and that develpoed into the large number of females i want to hang/have banged. nowhere in there did i choose to be in a gay act with another act. not that its wrong. you're just twisting my words.
User avatar #236 to #235 - trimageryan (05/23/2012) [-]
So you didn't choose to be straight eh? You just naturally thought that girls were attractive and that you want to have sex with them, kind of like how gay people naturally think that?
User avatar #237 to #236 - somepervert (05/23/2012) [-]
oh sweet jesus, you do realize how bad you are trying to make this seem right. naturally is an invalid use for your argument. it is not naturally. i could have been gay if i was surrounded by alot of boys. but i wasnt, it was an equal amount of girl/boys. i mean shit people on funnyjunk choose to be gay when they see riodiculously photogenic guy, explain it when they make the choice to say that they would TURN gay just for him?
User avatar #238 to #237 - trimageryan (05/23/2012) [-]
Obviously that's just stupidity of the internet, it's the same as someone talking trash over a video game. Do you realize how badly you are trying to make this seem right? I don't see how naturally is an invalid use, it's how they feel by their nature. Not environment, not from watching gay television, not from anything other then that's how they feel. If it was a choice then why are there people who kill themselves because they aren't straight?
I've seen no reason to believe it's from environment.

Sorry, but sexuality is not a choice. It's wired into our brains while we're still developing. I did not "figure out" which sex I preferred, I just knew. I cannot simply and suddenly choose to be attracted to the same sex.
User avatar #230 to #76 - somepervert (05/23/2012) [-]
you could if you were really interested.
#72 to #62 - prancingkid (05/22/2012) [-]
That is where I disagree with you, even if it was a "simple choice". What about Bisexuals who pick both or Asexuals who pick neither?
User avatar #231 to #72 - somepervert (05/23/2012) [-]
their choice is both. does anyone here understand the concept of choices
User avatar #31 to #28 - newupload **User deleted account** (05/22/2012) [-]
"the kid might pick up on their choices"

what the fuck are you talking about?
User avatar #33 to #31 - somepervert (05/22/2012) [-]
their choices on being gay. i thought i had made that part pretty simple...
User avatar #44 to #33 - newupload **User deleted account** (05/22/2012) [-]
being gay isn't a choice you fucking dust
User avatar #47 to #44 - somepervert (05/22/2012) [-]
you arent born gay... its a choice believe it or not.
User avatar #50 to #47 - newupload **User deleted account** (05/22/2012) [-]
it isn't a choice hahaha
User avatar #53 to #50 - somepervert (05/22/2012) [-]
let me clarify, MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT BORN GAY. and i doubt a baby comes out of a womb thinking that they want some cock. it is sort of a choice or the person was influenced.
User avatar #56 to #53 - newupload **User deleted account** (05/22/2012) [-]
I recently worked on a study that reported genetic scans showing a clustering of the same genetic pattern among gay men on three chromosomes - chromosomes 7, 8, and 10. The regions on chromosome 7 and 8 were associated with male sexual orientation regardless of whether the man got them from his mother or father. The regions on chromosome 10 were only associated with male sexual orientation if they were inherited from the mother. From this data, we can assume that babies are, in fact, born gay, and not "influenced" as you say they are. Your logic has no support whatsoever.
User avatar #60 to #56 - somepervert (05/22/2012) [-]
neither does yours. show me a link or piece of work that actually shows that this is true.
User avatar #66 to #60 - newupload **User deleted account** (05/22/2012) [-]
www.godandscience.org/evolution/genetics_of_homosexuality.html

Although that article does not conclude in like with my arguement, there is a lot of info in there supposrting me. Also, I have quite a few gay relatives, and from speaking with each of them, they all know that they were born gay. they didn't become gay.
User avatar #30 to #28 - ihavenoimagination (05/22/2012) [-]
That logic is SO bad..
One question: What about single parents?

How are loving lesbian couple worse than a single mom?


User avatar #32 to #30 - somepervert (05/22/2012) [-]
a single parent is bad. I never said it was bad. I am just restating what a classmate of mine said. and a lesbian couple is the same as a single mother. the kid still turns out the same way however, will most likely pick up feminine qualities with a lesbian couple. but hey, i could give 2 cents of a shit since it doesnt affect me.
