Foster Kid Taken From Parents Who Refuse To Teach Homosexuality

[The Evolutionist]

I don't understand why people are forced to accept homosexuality. Most people don't agree with it, so why do they HAVE to say it's OK?

These people have taken care of 30 children, given them love when no one else was willing to do so, and now they're being denied another kid because of some agenda?

You're right, the majority opinion is always correct. Come on, let's change to a theocracy! No more meat on Friday's, basically no seafood ever, say God outloud and get fined, and so on and so forth.

Face it, the bible is NOT an absolute authority, nor does it expressly forbid homosexuality. The reason "most" people are against it (I put that in quotes because I don't necessarily believe it) are out of sheer ignorance.

First of all I'm a Muslim so I don't think the bible is an absolute authority. I'm strictly talking about the couple and they DON'T believe in homosexuality, SO WHAT? They're not burning 'the gheys' at the stake are they? They just think it's a sin against G-d's truth.

Face it, most straight people think homosexuality is disgusting, otherwise they'd be Bi, or gay themselves.

and so most people should set the standard for everything?

I apologize for my mistake in thinking you a bible thumper. And in a way, yes they are hurting "the gheys". Ignorance brings violence. Parents who teach their kids that homosexuals aren't ok increase the risk that said kids commit violence against them. It was the same thing back in the early 1900's with African-Americans.

Homosexuality is more than just sex. I don't not want to sleep with the guy sitting next to me in class because I'm not attracted to him, not because the thought of the sex itself is disgusting (not that I think I would enjoy that).

But a minority can?

man that's messed up

what if they were as loving and caring, but refused to acknowledge the equality of black people?
you know? if they said black people weren't human.
people are so dumb sometimes, they forget that even loving/ caring people can be misguided.

Isn't ignorance fun? So unless your a raging homophobe you have a hidden desire to pound ass?

 

[Abaddon]

no one's talking about whether it can. I'm talking about whether it should. Over a hundred years ago, the general consensus in the country was that African Americans didn't deserve the same rights as everyone else. By your standards it was right because most people believed it.

what the hell?
this is a rare and rather weird turn for a guy that's normally so level headed and logical.

lol you just dug ur own grave

This is just wrong. I don't care if you are pro-gay rights or anti-gay rights. Pro-religion or anti-religion. They took a child out of a loving home to be placed in a "council hostel" (is that what they call orphanages to make them sound more acceptable?) because these people would not teach a certain belief system to a child. This is just wrong.

Its not a matter of becoming a theocracy. It is a matter of why should two people who have been raising this child be forced to teach him any specific belief system? They are most likely the closest thing he has ever known to parents. Don't you think they have some discretion? Think about what you are saying. Gay rights are all fine and good, but to take a child out of a loving home and throw him in an orphanage because of this?

So as long as a card caring racist is good to his/her adopted children it's OK to teach them whatever they want?

 

[Mr. Socko]

Here's an old couple who would rather their children taken away than for the son to learn about homosexuality?

Homosexuality is looked down upon solely because people like this. They've cared for 28 children, I applaud that, what I don't applaud is that those 28 kids are growing up to hate others that like people of the same sex.

I'd like to ask them where equality really lies.

It's just another attempt by Satan through foolish people, to force a "post-Christian" worldview on the public, and in turn encourage more outright Godless behavior.

These people have taken care of 30 children, given them love when no one else was willing to do so, and now they're being denied another kid because of some agenda?

I think its reprehensible as well.

They weren't teaching him racism. They simply said it was not a good idea to teach an ELEVEN YEAR OLD CHILD. A child who has not even hit puberty yet about homosexuality.

 

[Moviefan2k4]

No, they were refusing to sign the contract because it meant they'd be legally required to encourage homosexuality, and show it in a positive light, which contradicts directly with Scripture.

Who gives a **** about equality? Do you think that child, sleeping in an orphanage right now, at the age of 11 really gives a damn about how two men do it? My parents never sat me down and told me all about gay people, does that mean I turned out to be a biggoted *******? No. They weren't brainwashing the children to hate gays. They simply did not believe it appropraite to teach an eleven year old about them and they raised the 30 kids according to their religious beliefs. And why the hell shouldn't they? My parents raised me Catholic. Should I have been thrown in an orphanage for that?

The theocracy thing was more a shot at the majority rules idea, not necessarily for the overarching debate. And yes, I think anyone teaching kids anything other than tolerance is wrong. And when someone outside the home has the ability to put a stop to it, they should.

so...you would place a child in a home that fostered racism?
since it's just a "belief system"?

And who draws the line? The government? Do you not see what a slippery slope that is? And its not as if these people were saying "Hey kiddo, go stone the first gay you see." They were simply teaching their religious beliefs to him. Do I think homosexuality is a sin? No. But damned if people don't have the right to. Sure as hell better than some sort of government mandated "tolerance".

You rooted for John Lithgow's character in Footloose, didn't you?

 

[Sloth7d]

Whoa! Those two guys are against "promoting homosexuality"?! That's ironic. Wait, that's a woman, you say?! Now I've heard everything.

True tolerance does not require endorsement or encouragement; it merely describes someone tolerating the current issue's existence...that's it.
