Love vs. Neglect

I would rather a child grow up being loved by someone than to go through the system with no one to depend on. That great “backwards” state of Arkansas is seeking a ban on gay foster parents.

I can’t really give a definite explanation on my stance toward gay marriage and the gay agenda period. But I do firmly believe that I would rather let a gay/lesbian/bi/transgendered person adopt a child than to let that child go without love from anyone. Or to grow up on their own in the foster care system.

Who can say what true love is? Is the problem because they feel that child will grow up gay? That’s no more true than saying those raised in a heterosexual family won’t grow up gay. Ummm…obviously that theory is bunk. So why deny a loving family a child based on their sexual identity?

For awhile I’ll admit I was iffy on the thought of gays adopting. I too was bamboozled into believing they would raise gay children. Then I thought to myself…AND? ::Clearing head:: Does that mean that parents who divorce are setting their children up to divorce later one? Does that mean that all parents who cheat on their spouses will raise a child that would do the same? No! We raise our children to be better than ourselves. [I'm not saying hetrosexuality is better than homosexuality], but we raise our children with the best intent possible. At least those of us who are sane.

Being raised by gays doesn’t cause academic problems or gender identity problems, as the state had argued, the Supreme Court said.

Duh.
