I am a traditional person, a straight woman who is getting married toa straight man. I have never been keen on the idea of gay marriages because it's not the norm in my opinion.
The only thing I cannot agree with is gay people adopting children. It is because all of my life I have been brought up to believe that it was only possible for a man and woman to love each other, not a man and man or woman and woman. I don't think I knew about gay relationships until the time I hit puberty!! Therefore I do not believe that children should think this is possible.
You can flame me all you like but none of those flames can change my opinion.
Just because you were raised a certain way does not mean that way is right. What urks me is that people assume that just because their parents said is that it means they are automatically right. Maybe thirty or fifty years people were taught that interracial marriage was wrong, that marriage was only between a white man and a white woman. I believe that gay marriage will be the same way, and people will be laughing on how stupid people were in the past.
What's wrong with gay adoption? Why should we deny people children simply because they are not a couple consisting of a man and a woman? The adoption system is overcrowded. As long as they prove to be fit parents, what's the problem that they simply have a girlfriend or boyfriend of the same gender? Why should that matter?
I'm going to be harsh---it is possible for two women and two men to love each other. It has always been possible. Look, I don't want to be rude but your view are ignorant. You need to open up, and expand your morals. I am not saying your parents are bad people. I am simply saying that being closed minded is not the best choice.
And you're right, I can't change your opinion. I assume that has to do with people being afraid to admit that they are wrong, or being stubborn.
Having an opinion is good.
Using your opinion to keep certain rights away from groups of people? Not good.
