    One thing for sure, some of us definitely have different views about this "gay/lesbian couples raising kids". But, for us, being the Christians we profess to be, it's not accepted, no matter what the world thinks.

    Agree with the thought that gays can be good parents, of course they can, just rather it weren't that way
    I also agree that some women change because of bad experiences and of course biological reasons.
    Many just choose the path .............

    I don't know why people are gay but I'm sure it's not to p*ss off Christians. There are many reasons probably and I do believe born that way is one.

    My friend was 10 when I met her and had a normal sister and parents and yet she ended up a lesbian and even though I barely knew what one was at that age you could tell she was different.

    @Chrissy Cross , you summed up my feelings completely with regard our own dysfunctional parent or parents.. I had a horrible childhood, the daughter of a man who beat the crap out of my mother and me and my brother... every day.... A father who did things I couldn't write on here, a husband who beat his wife so badly she took her own life ( my mother).. at just 39 years old.. A mother who feared an detested her husband to the point where she couldn't get through a day without alcohol and masses of prescription drugs to block out her pain , and wasn't beyond beating us kids herself.. and kids who were terrified to speak without shaking in the presence of a father who was likely to punch, kick and strangle us just for looking in the wrong direction......

    I coud write things that would make you throw up which happened to us back then, but I won't of course... but even now I'm 62 years old as I write this the tears are falling...no-one ever gets over abuse..no matter how long ago it was..

    oooh believe me if I was a youngster today..I would give anything to have 2 or even one loving parent... regardless of their sexual proclivity

    Yep, I'd rather have had no father. Thankfully he didn't touch my mom but just me for some reason...I hated him and will always hate him...I can't even talk about him. :(

    When he died I didn't care one bit.

    I was the same...I didn't care my father had died...In fact I cried with the relief that he was no longer in the world and couldn't hurt another soul... he'd already killed my mother, he'd left all his children with issues to this day .. even the ones he didn't hit... so he needed to be gone from the world.. just the pity was that he remained into old age while my mother had to die so young

    Our great niece, niece's daughter, grew completely up as a normal female with a mom and dad. Before joining the Army, she had a boyfriend who was in the Army, but after she joined, he broke up with her. After being in the Army for a year, she met another Army guy who had TAD (Temporary Assigned Duty) at her Army Base. His actual Base was in Oklahoma. They ended up getting married. Less than a year after they married, she got an Annulment. After she got that, she met a gal and started a Bi-Sexual relationship with her. When she went home on Leave for a wedding, she took her girlfriend with her. She told her mom that she was now Bi-Sexual, which shocked her mom and really shocked her grandmother. The great niece posted some photos of the wedding online and a couple of them (not about the wedding) showed her kissing her girlfriend. At that time, we stopped the "feeds" from the great niece's Facebook page. Basically we have nothing to do with this great niece anymore. Our choice, but that's the way we feel.

    Nobody really has any idea of what happened to this girl. Grew up normal, then, after a dude dumps her and she Annuls the marriage of the next guy, she becomes Bi.
    Don't know what's going to happen if the great niece decides to take her Discharge next year. Will she leave her girlfriend in Kansas or will the girlfriend come back to California to live.

    If there is a God, he created all people wether we like them or not.

    He also said Adultery is a sin....do you associate with adulterers?

    I think there's a lot of stuff in the Bible that has been interpreted to fit whatever....how come it was okay long ago to have many wives?

    Sort of funny, to us anyway.......my wife listens, on her laptop, to a minister named John Hagee, on Sunday morning. He has no problem telling his congregation how much he dislikes gays and lesbians and his congregation totally understands. I mean, this minister REALLY says how he feels about both.

    And many have done the same then it comes out that they've had sex with men....lots of hypocrites in the religion field.

    Look at all the pedophile priests.

    Also, I'm sorry but your wife's minister sounds like an a**...disliking people without knowing them. It's usually the ones that preach the loudest that have a secret that eventually comes out.

    The preachers preach 'their' interpretation, they want to impress - they also want your money !
    Now before the preaching comes in, I will say 'not all' but a good many
