You put the blame on society and I put the blame and responsibility on the idividuals. Society is not going to change because we want it to. That would mean a perfect world, sorry but it's not a perfect world and people are mean and cruel that's a fact of life.
I love children and it hurts me to see little ones taunted and shunned because of bad choices the parents made.
It's not like they're going to be running around with a tag that says "MY PARENTS ARE GAY" or something. Anyways the only regions where gays are actually openly and casually discriminated against- like mean comments to their faces discriminated- is basically the South. It happens elsewhere but it's very predominant and people go out of their way to do it in Southern states.
So I guess you would never be rude to children because their parents are of the same gender - even if you don´t accept gay marriage?
Kids talk to one another, kids go to one another's houses, parents talk in front of the children kids take it back to school. I truly wish people would not take mean spiritness out on kids. It kills me.
False assumption #1: Society will never accept homosexuals.
False assumption #2: Children of same-sex couples are inherently placed into harm.
False assumption #3: Same-sex couples want or need babies for different reasons than heterosexual couples.
True assumption: As long as there are people in this world that think the way you do, it will never be a perfect world.
Using your reasoning, since life is so hard anyway, nobody should bring children into the world - especially minority ethnic groups or anybody who lives in countries that aren't as developed as (for example) the United States. It's absurd. Please think about what you're saying.

Hm, I wonder who that "society" is, that you want to protect these poor unborn children from? The impolite, uneducated, bigotted part?
Well, yes, I agree, children need to be protected from such folk... but non-existence seems a little overprotective to me in this regard.
And do you really think that those people should set the guidelines of what is allowed or not?
We have kids killing kids for a lot less than being teased for parentage. Are you willing to prove yourself right by bringing an innocent life into a world intentionally knowing that it probably won't be accepted because of your lifestyle. There's a lot of cruelty out there. You want a perfect world sorry but is what it is.
Here's logical:
The problem is that the system should have tiers. One tier is heterosexual couples that might soon have children. Another is other couples. And a third is those who have their own children. Every single one of those tiers is logical.
Using any of these division and excluding the others is likewise logical, and is based on jurisprudence, not logic. But then, you wouldn't be able to call someone illogical.
Actually, the most logical thing to do would be to remove the word "marriage" from all legal documents and replace it with the word "civil partnership" and make it open for any two people and their potential children, period. Marriage would therefore be a religious institution, and you could say you are "married" or "partners" or "girlfriend/boyfriend", whatever floats your boat but legally it would be "civil partnership".
However, there isn't really any politician brave enough to attempt this much-needed reform.
So you would accept that child even if its parents made their ugly evil choices.
I would love that child no matter what race, color, culture parentage, you betcha...I love kids. I hate to see hurt. I have nothing more to say.

I do not accept homosexuality as a lifestyle choice. I believe marriage to be a holy bond between a man and a woman. Physically and spiritually they complete one another. Allowing marriage between same sex partners might make it a little more acceptable but still a child has the right to and needs both a mother and a father.So you would accept that child even if its parents made their ugly evil choices.
Are you not part of society? Are you also not a part of those not accepting gay marriage?
It seems that "society will never accept certain things" is not conclusively leading to "we must protect children from teasing by disallowing their parents to marry".

Really? Why? What does my son get from my wife that he couldn't get from another man? She couldn't breast feed, so it's not biological. I know many guys more nurturing than her, so it's not emotional. What's left?
Well, walking in your mom in the bathroom is a time-honored childhood tradition. It's more awkward with your dad, usually.

What is this right you speak of? Are children who are raised by their father because their mother died in child birth denied their rights? Are children raised by mothers because their fathers died during a war denied their rights? How do you propose to remedy this gross injustice? Force single parents to marry the nearest single member of the opposite sex?
Of course things happen in life we do not expect.
Okay if your son had been raised by 2 moms instead would he be better for it or no? Same for a daughter with 2 dads. The child needs the nurturing warm fuzzy, kissy, huggy from mom, the discipline and strength from dad. I raised 1 girl 2 boys with a dad in the house. My perspective and my husbands was different for my daughter. I said she could talk on the phone to a 19 year old(she was 15 at the time). After all just talking right. My husband saw it a lot differently...he was once a boy right? He said one thing always leads to another. Needless to say he severed ties real quick where I probably wouldn't have. It takes a Mom and a Dad.
This is a video where I discuss the logical reason as to why gay marriage should remain against the law
