I got the green light from preggie so .... Let have a GROWN discussion about : Couples of the same…

yes. it will affect the child. probably in the best way. more of an open mind, more of an appreciation towards the parents. they'll get the best type of encouragement. same sex parents had to fight so hard and so long for this.

I don't think so. I'm not in any type of relationship. I'm heterosexual. I think what affects kids is seeing they're parents in a bad relationship. As long as they see both there parents in a happy, loving, respecting relationship I don't think gay or heterosexual should matter.

Honestly, I think it all really depends on the child... Every child has different needs. One might feel complete with parents of the same sex and one might feel like they're missing something.

I don't see anything wrong with it whatsoever. However on the topic of will it affect the child, I believe it would affect the child simply in the manner of being in a different situation than a child with a man/woman parentship. Just as a child growing up in a single parent situation is different than a duel partnership.

I don't think so I mean whether the child has a mom and dad or two dads or two moms shouldn't make a difference. I mean if a father and mother fight all the time now that effects kids to no end. I'd rather a child be in a loving home where he or she is loved than an abusive one where they feel abused and neglected. honestly I don't see what people complain about they have the same rights straight people do and if they wanna start a family and adopt more power to them ya know. that's my opinion

What kids need to see is a couple who genuinely loves, respects and inspires each other, regardless of their sexual orientation.

I think that it will later in life maybe confuse the child because like growing up I saw my mom with boyfriends and I automatically assumed that , when I grow up its supposed to be man and woman . Now my religion say the same . But I had a friend and she grew up the same way I did . But when she got into middle school everybody had a Boyfriend and a girlfriend . She had her boyfriends but she was lesbian and that to me was very uncomfortable because all I knew was man and woman so flash forward she adopted a little girl . The little girl got in trouble at school for kissing another little girl . And she said that was all she knew ... So I do think that the affects the child that way . Especially if they go to church and read about man and woman and Adam and Eve and all that and then look at their parents and are like well My parents are doing the opposite . I am not against homosexuals .

Oh good one. I think it depends on the parents. children are taught everything they know; but I do think the parents should make sure the child understands that their marriage is different before someone else tries to tell them bc you know children can be cruel with information like that. I also feel like more same sex couples should raise children bc the children would actually be more open minded. The child will be fine as long as their parents are positive.

@nykkytia, @levleah @momtobe092015 @adrienneerinne27 @coraanne @lilymama @jessica408 Glad we know how to appreciate others opinions !

"train up a child in a way that he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it" Proverbs 22:16. I think it could affect a child spiritually.

I'm an adult. I enjoy debates. but some "adults" don't know how to debate and just turn ugly, I keep to myself

I'm honestly not sure . I don't think it affects just like being a single parent doesn't affect a child .

@ainsleighsmommy, I have grown up in a community of having several different orientations around me constantly and like many have mentioned your mind can tend to be more open. However, you can be raised around only straight couples with a strong background in religion and/or community that doesn't agree with homosexuality and still have that same open mind, as long as it isn't learned to be bad or wrong by their parents and the people they look up to. Some, who have commented, make good point that it also depends on the child.

I don't think it would. They are perfectly capable of providing for a child just as well as a heterosexual couple. They also have a different perspective on the world and can teach the child more about accepting people for who they are.
