Well, I'm an old guy, 71(crap,there goes another year:( who loves RPGs, especially Action, Adven., ever since my older brother got me hooked on The Legend of Zelda.
Would LOVE to create a game of my own. Even purchased the ACE program, but got frustrated when I could not even make a decent town river :(
But that's ok, I still love these independent games..

Supreme Court strikes down bans on gay marriage in US

Don't get me wrong folks.

I'm not against gay people or their right to be married nor to have children.

I am not a brilliant scientist nor a shrink.

I'm just asking questions because I don't like to see people hurt.
IF A GAY parent, unintentionally nudged a child in the direction of their own life, it could be very confusing for the young person and cause problems in life.

Linkis, I'll give you another story to give you a more balanced perspective, my neighbours are two gay women who have been in a committed relationship for over a decade, they have a 7 year old boy whose father is a gay male friend of theirs who happily donated his sperm. So the boy has two gay biological parents and an additional gay adopted parent and he's one of the most well adjusted and polite 7 years old I've ever met. So no gay males don not only adopt or surrogate males and females likewise, and they don't change their orientation. I mean until very recently the only people who could have kids were straight (and bi) people, and they raised LGBT kids, didn't they? Basic sexual orientation is hard-wired, 'nudging' won't change that, even if it happened.


BUT, now that you mention that story. And because that terrible person tried to lure me into an unjust admission.... :)
If your feelings a gay at birth and take time to grow into mature feelings for another of the same sex...what happens when a GAY man and Gay woman have a child?
What might THAT produce?? And no, I don't mean a monster :)
Could that produce a gay child???
The 7yr old you spoke about could be an angle but what his sexuality??

I'm not trying to start a fight or a deep discussion, just like I said before......WHAT IF???

Do you believe homosexuality is a choice, Linkis? You seem to be saying that gay parents will make their kids gay (or maybe I'm not understanding)

It's funny because I'm not arguing against the supreme court ruling. The only thing I've argued for in this entire topic is that people should chill the fuck out and treat each-other with more respect instead of throwing out accusations and trying to ban each-other from the site. Apparently that idea is controversial enough to create five pages of debate, not about whether the ruling is correct, but just about whether it's okay to be civil to people who are against it.
Right, but think about it - why would you be civil to someone who wants to hurt you? People have limits to their open-mindedness. You don't try and make peace with someone who's mugging you. What CashmereCat said isn't as violent as actually mugging someone, but if someone random on the internet started insulting you for no legitimate reason, you would have no reason to try and see their side of it.

@Linkis: I have no doubt that gay parents are as capable of raising children as straight ones.


What cashmere posted was not a personal attack. It was a belief you find offensive. There's a big difference.


I completely agree. Cashmere wrote were his beliefs because he was raised a certain way. Just wanted to air his views and hoped no one hated him for it. You never know about people, he might even change his mind one day :)

Do you believe homosexuality is a choice, Linkis?


Not sure. It MIGHT BE for some but then that would be called bi-sexual.
Also, and this is why I am a BIT thoughtful about gay adoption, a child MIGHT be swayed in that direction and that would be wrong.

On the whole, NO, sexuality is a part of the individual when in the womb.

HA, thought ya was gonna bait me into admiting I'm a gay hater did ya?? :)

@slash, I did not mean to imply gay parents CAN NOT do a good job.

The story I read mentioned an 18yr old girl/woman but never mentioned her dating habits nor how the two gay parents might have interacted with her boyfriend or girlfriend.

Again, I'm very happy for the two women. I'm just a tiny bit concerned about the daughters.
There are several "straight" parents who do terrible jobs at raising kids.

Again, just a thought......

I could argue that it does have the potential to mess up the minds of their children yes, as much as being a straight parent has the potential to mess up the minds of children as well...


Actually much less, because queer parents often won't be as demanding regarding sexual, professional or whatever choices, and it is true that queer people in general are a little more understanding and mature when it comes to sexuality because we've had to go through that tough questioning & understanding phase. So well, there's a risk of messing up your children's minds as long as you're human (because people do shit), but having queer parents is potentially somewhat safer due to many reasons.



To be honest JS, my parents were male and female and they sure did a horrible job of raising me so you may be right :)

Well Sated, YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN :)
You must have watched a lot of the old Odd Couple TV shows.

I never said nor do I believe that.
