Mama and More Mama

The only thing that matters is love and respect.

One positive attribute to this site is your name "Imperfect Parent". On the other hand it is wrong to promote same sex relationships and it is harmful to children. Do you not worry about their souls or yours?

To the "Christian" who commented before:

It is people like you who are more harm to this world than a same-sex couple raising their children. Open your eyes; not everyone in the world is still a back-woods hillbilly who thinks that man/woman, missionary-only sex is the only "normal" way to be.

Children who are raised by gay/lesbian couples are lucky children. They're not automatically taught to judge.

I completely disagree with "christian" above.

I will say, however, that I think some of the objection isn't about the parent's sexuality, and it 'rubbing off' on the kids, or making kids confused (although for some, this IS the objection.)

I think for some, the concern is, YES, two same sex parents loving a child is fantastic, and YES, two parents loving a child is better than a single parent struggling with a child. However, with two same sex parents, the child is missing out on the close daily interaction and influence of an opposite sex parent/role mode. This isn't just for gay parents, this falls under single parenting as well. I think THAT concern is a more valid one. That doesn't make gay parenting or single parenting wrong, it just makes it important to have other role models involved in the children's lives.

The other misguided 'concerns', though, are bogus.
