    You know, as a general observation: the subject of sex doesn't come up too much in heterosexual circles, let alone anal sex. I have never heard anal sex being discussed in a heterosexual environment. The thread here is about sodomites being allowed to adopt.

    Really? You need more exciting friends!

    Ever? That's odd... But let's say a friend did do it, because lots of people do, would you want him to not be able to adopt a child, because he did that?

    Yes, but you started talking down about homosexuals; and how anal sex is bad, even though homosexuals aren't the only ones doing anal sex... Your best friend might be doing it, just doesn't tell you!

    Ummm the straight couples who can not reproduce it's because of 'health' problems, the gay couple it's because ghee being gay they are unable to :rolleyes: Not hard to follow along here, really it isn't.

    Being proud to be gay = all that comes with it INCLUDING the inability to have children...

    Gays deciding to have children goes directly against what the entire gay definition is, 2 gays can not have a child, how on earth is going around this fact also being able to be proud. The answer is it isn't, simply yet another group trying to be 'proud' yet only be proud when it benefits them.

    Let's set aside the health issue for a second...

    You don't think gays should be able to adopt.. Why? Do you think that no homosexuals are qualified to parent a child?

    Adoption has nothing to do with whether or not a person can conceive or deliver a child, it's about who can care and provide for a child...

    Have I not explained it enough why I am against it?
    Many people 'could' care for a child, doesn't mean they should be allowed to ;)

    I'm willing to give gays all rights, this one however is not a 'right' and goes totally against the entire concept of being gay..

    Why should they "not be allowed to"? Because they couldn't "naturally conceive and deliver" a baby? That plays no role in adoption though... Completely irrelevant...

    It goes completely against the entire concept of being gay. It is totally relevant, they are unable to have children as it is not who they are!

    I have no idea where your getting your concept of being gay from but i assure you it's not what the gay community belives!

    Again Sexuality has not bearing upon having a child or not! it's simply silly to think that it does

    But adopting has nothing to do with "having a baby"...

    Physically, a gay person has as much ability to fill out the adoption paperwork as a straight person... Stating that a gay person will be a worse parent is a blatant stereotype; there are plenty that could provide better homes then straight families...

    sigh...

    it's not what anyone thinks, it's simple fact. If you are gay, 2 gay guys CAN NOT have a child, 2 gay women CAN NOT have a child.

    Being gay = not being able to have a child, unless you try to bypass the very fabric of being gay. Showing yet again be proud only when it benefits you, being fully proud of being gay in any logic = no children.

    To Tarpon, never did I say gays could not be good parents now did I?

    It still does not take away the very simple fact being gay = not being able to have children! Jesus it's not a difficult thing to grasp..

    Having it both ways such as this BTW will sway many people like myself from supporting gay rights to not supporting them, but then again have it your way. Be proud to be gay, unless of course it's something pesky that gets in the way of what you want then bypass it all you can.

    Now, without all the anatomy-101...

    Regarding gay adoption, you've already said " I am against it"

    Now, if you're admitting that gay people could make good parents, why not let them?

    The inability to "make a baby" doesn't hinder a gay person in any way during the adoption process... And it doesn't mean they're going to be horrible parents...

    Edit: There are children that need to be adopted in this country, I say let the gays help!

    But again your logic is flawed. What about single women who never wanted to marry are they 'allowed' to have children. there in the same boat as Lesbians. except they don't have a partner? Going on the fact that sexuality defines your ablity to have children is just nuts!

    If my best friend enjoys anal sex and never tells me about it I respect that he DOES NOT tell me about it. It is NOT a subject I am interested in. Not something us heterosexuals make the object of our lives.

    There is no promotion for this, c'mon...at least be honest. You're just discriminating because you're disturbed. Like the KKK with black. It's just pathetic...

    Again there is no "anal sex pride marches". They ask for rights because these human beings have less rights than yourself because of people like you...
    Don't forget again that someone does not choose to be gay but is born gay...

    If it happened to MY son I would deal with it my way. I would see it as an issue I would have to deal with as a parent. NO WAY I would approve of it. I would help him get out of this perversion. I would get him ALL the help I can get. Help means letting him know there is hope despite what sodomites are trying to teach him. I would tell him about many things I had to overcome in my life and I did. Some things you can change (your sexual orientation www.syrogers.com ) and others you can't (how tall you are, etc)
