I am Christian therefor I see same sex relationships as a sin. Man and Women are meant to be in intimate relationships/ marriages.
Adam and Eve were created and that is the way it should be.
I also believe that (when possible) children should be raised in 2 parent homes in which they have the benefit of a man and women raising them. Both genders have different things to offer.
Also a reason to wait until marriage to have sex.

I just don't think that its right to do that to a child. I am sure that it must be confusing and hard.

These are just MY opinions. It is up to God to judge, not me. I will not judge anyone who chooses this just because I think that its wrong. That is not my place.
I also can't fault people in a same sex relationship who love children and provide a loving safe home.

I think that some of the children I have met that live in same sex homes are the most open minded, loving and caring children, because their heads have not been stuffed with so much unnecessary hatred. I am heterosexual, but see nothing wrong with homosexuals raising their children in a loving home. There are too many children that live in heterosexual homes that don't get the love and care that the ones in homosexual homes do get. So no one should be a judge.

i don't think same sex relationship is right cause gad the not make Adam and Steve but Adam and eve

Homosexuallity is a sin, but so is sex outsid e of marriage!! I do not agree with the lifestyle nor do i think children should be in a possibly confusing invironment, that also includes one where a man is verbally or physically abusive to a woman!!

I believe that God created a man and a woman to be having babies, after they are married because it is the most stable enviroment to raise a child. If they want to live that lifestyle they have that right! I believe that they are in no way sound enough to raise children.

I don't think they should live together that is just me

I personally see nothing wrong with it. If a same-sex couple can offer the love and support a child needs, then it shouldn't matter if the couple consists of two men or two women. Just because a couple is heterosexual doesn't mean the child will be okay in the end. Love is love to me, whether it is between a man and a woman, a man and a man, or a woman and a woman. Sexual preference has nothing to do with the ability to raise a child in a healthy, loving, supportive home.

I personally believe that if two people or one person is loving and caring and can offer a supportive environment then they would be great parents no matter what sex or relationship they are in.
Too much blame is tossed around these days because of race or sexual orientation and I think that any child that is brought up in an environment that has a positive outlook on all colors, creeds, religions and sexual preferences will grow up very well mentally balanced. People just need to be honest with their children. As for reading the Bible later in life, if the parents are able to be honest and up front then there shouldn't be too much of a problem there.

In any case God will be the only one who will be able to judge anyone anyway. And until He does then no one can really say any different! It is all about being good to each other. People can preach sin until the cows come home but I would like to see he or she who has not ever sinned cast that first stone.

Happy new year!

ADDITION: I didn't mean to sound like I was accusing you of being judgmental, Patti but there are some people here who are. They are the ones who need to watch for throwing the stones.

I believe as long as it's a loving household and the child can be cared for as that child needs to be then why not.
Children will always have to deal with confusing facts and good caring parents will be able to help the child deal with and cope with life in an open and honest way. I was a child who grew up in foster care and would have loved for anyone straight, gay, or bi to share with me their love, home and respect in a family setting instead of being bounced around until I was 18

Since I'm not gay I can't honestly tell you how the whole bible issue will be dealt with but I am sure that if they are people of faith they are secure in THEIR relationship with THEIR god and will teach their children that the relationship that they have with god is their own private relationship

I'm sure that if their parents were kind, loving, understanding, nurturing, emotionally and physically available they would not feel as if they were forced to live a horrible life.
Yes, the children will have to deal with situations that children growing up in a hetrosexual family will not have to face and it will be the responsibility of the parents to guide them in a healthy, safe and caring way even allowing the children to express their discomfort with the situation, I think that if the parents understand this they will find a loving way to address these issues and support each other

Many children grow up in circumstances that are damaging to their growth and development SIMPLY having same sex parents isn't one of them

I'm not saying that gay parents don't have faults or issues and perhaps some shouldn't have children, that however is something that applies to straight parents as well

First of all, I must say that my response is more directed to the other people that answered this question than to the person who asked it.
I am a WOMAN who is happily married to the MAN of my dreams for eight great years, with three wonderful children.
That being said, while it is true that under the wrong circumstances, children raised in a same-sex household can have a very confusing childhood, i must say that it is my opinion, that if the parents, same-sex or not, love the child that they are raising, they would do everything in their power to make their lives easier. I would assume that so far, I am making sense to most of you, right?
Okay, my point with that is that with the right boundaries, any relationship is acceptable around children. I would have to assume that two loving parents would never have sexual encounters in front of their children, so what would there be to explain?
So why do people judge homosexual couples who actually love and nurture their child, rather than the mom who refuses to work and pops out kids for the sole purpose of collecting more money from the government (welfare, food stamps, medicaid, etc.) while she lives with her boyfriend who's on disability because he faked a work injury, then goes around doing jobs earning cash so that he doesn't have to pay taxes, while law-abiding citizens such as myself work our rear ends off to pay taxes which the government gives out to these not-so-needy families.
And how are same-sex households different from one-parent households? You still have only one sex in the home with the child, and what if that person is dating, or heaven forbid, what if they're promiscuous? Is it better to bring in a different partner every night in front of a child, so long as it's not the same sex? I mean, come on people!!!!!!!
It really blows my mind how ignorant people can be while still considering themselves an adult.
