Why Gays Should Not Be Parents

By Douglas V. Gibbs

My mother divorced my father when I was just a baby. His lifestyle was a primary reason for the split up. Growing up I got to see my dad once or twice per year. His lifestyle was not normally open for display, but I had enough experiences regarding his lifestyle that it affected me greatly. He vanished when I turned twelve, realizing the influence his lifestyle was having on me, leaving me to be raised in a normal household with a step-dad that was a more than adequate father, and a mother that provided support through her love, and faith in Christ.

Though my father's influence was minimal, and he vanished when I reached my teenage years, the damage had been done, and my ability to understand normalcy in relation to sexual relationships, and my own behaviors, had been hampered. It took years of battling with pornography, promiscuous behavior, and other bad habits, before I came to grips that my father's lifestyle had done some damage to me psychologically. Shortly after that epiphany, I nearly died in an accident while in the U.S. Navy.

It was shortly after that episode when my journey back to Faith in Christ reached a head.

A friend of mine recently discussed with me his life as an orphan, and how his homosexual foster father had affected him for the worst. Just the exposure to the gay man's behavior was enough to screw the kid up for decades, before he was able to finally break habits that had been heavily influenced by his exposure to the gay lifestyle. As we spoke, we found we had experienced the same confusion, the same struggles, and the same anger.

I have spoken to a number of people that grew up with a gay parent or guardian, and though in nearly all cases there was no sexual abuse, just the exposure as a child (who had not come to grips yet with their own sexuality) to a gay parental figure caused damage to the person's sexual views, and behaviors, that took years to fix.

Though I am sure gays who wish to have children have the best intentions, their lifestyle being forced upon the innocence of a child causes damage that leads to sexual behaviors, and battles with pornography, that takes years to fix. Intentional, or not, the damage occurs, and because of the confusion it causes children, homosexuals should not be legal guardians of children.

Gays can scream and cry all they wish to try to normalize their deviant behavioral fetish of homosexuality, but in the end, it is still abnormal behavior.

Kind of brings to mind that lipstick on a pig remark we sometimes hear. Put lipstick all you wish on a pig, but in the end it is still a pig.

Try to normalize the gay lifestyle all you wish, but in the end, it is still abnormal behavior - and damaging to children who are exposed to it.
