it's their actions toward the child, how they raise it, pay attention to the child, give the child a good education, and show the child respect for respect in return, show personal interest with the child to make a good friendship and make sure the child will never be a bad child.
And cant you admit that a gay parent has the ability to do all of that for their child?
QUOTE
Because what i see now is that "gay" people don't want a child because they want to love it, and do everything else i wrote above, its because they think it is THEIR "right"
That isnt always true. For some it is, but for other it isnt. I do think that when a person adopts a child then they should undergo an intense test to prove they are capable of being responsible. This goes for straight and gay parents. Their are some gay people who realize that they can never have a child of their own but they still want one, so they choose to adopt. This isnt a protest or anything, it is because they generally want a child. Like I said, this isnt the case for all gay people. We have to look at the rights of those who actually want a child, and not the ones who want a child so someone will look at their rights.

Rephrase.
It was hard to phrase into a question, so let me try again. Will a child grow up having a better understanding of different opinions and be more tolerant of them if they understand what it would be like to not be normal? I think a child would come away richer and better for experiencing a tough childhood. And keep in mind that if the parents are good parents, then they will help their child get through any rough patches while growing up.

Neither, its what the parents "drill" into the child's head, how to behave, who to listen to, what to do, stuff that becomes instinct to the child. The biggest negative impact on a child that has homosexual parents is the people they go to school with, now i know what your saying kids are just kids, but your child doesn't know that he or she will be hurt mentally by the kids at school, not only that but the child might get hurt physically by bullies just because their parents are gay. Like i said before think of the child first before your "RIGHTS"
O wait a sec. I'm not asking the biggest negative impact on a child with homosexual parents, I'm asking for the biggest negative impact on a child in general.

Well it seems the way you worded that is just to get the answer you wanted, what if you asked it like this:
WHICH WOULD MAKE A BETTER PARENT? AN EXTREMELY INVOLVED STRAIGHT PARENT IN THEIR CHILD'S LIFE AND DEVELOPMENT, OR A NEGLECTFUL AND IRRESPONSIBLE GAY PERSON?
My point is that you will get neglectful and irresponsible gay parents, no question about it. it is just majority of the people that come from straight families aren't neglected they are fine people, even if they are neglected they turn out to be the smartest people of all. you cannot justify the whole gay community because you think that because they want children means that they will be good parents.
Ok, see with this you are assuming that a gay person would be a neglectful and irresponsible parent and that all straight parents will be extremely involved in their children. You are the one looking for a specific answer. Consider all the bad straight parents. Let me highly a few facts from a scientific study about STRAIGHT parents.
1. Eighty percent of parents believe that neither alcohol nor marijuana is usually available at teen gatherings, but 50 percent of their kids say they attend parties where alcohol, drugs or both are available.
2. Only 12 percent of parents see illegal substances as their teen's greatest concern. But twice as many teens ( 27 percent ) say drugs are a major worry.
3. 80 Percent of parents believe alcohol and marijuana are not usually found at teen parties
4. 50 Percent of kids say they attend parties where alcohol and drugs or both are available
5. 98 Percent of parents say they are normally present during parties they allow their teens to have at home
6. 33 Percent of kids say parents are rarely or never present at parties they attend
This shows that straight parents can be irresponsible, possibly more so than gay parents. There is no proof that a gay parent would be a bad parent. You just think they would be because you dont understand the gay community.
This topic isnt as much about all gay people having the right to have kids, but rather those responsible gay parents that want a child, and should have to right to have one.
