Whoa! I don't think it's gross to see two people who care about each other showing affection, be they the same sex or the oppposite. When I see a man and a woman walking through the mall holding hands, the biggest problem I have with it is that they can do it without worrying about ridicule or reproach from other people. So, "grossed out" isn't the term I would use. Jealous is the term I would use.

So if you think that it's okay for 2 people to show affection if they are in love unconditionally, does that mean that you would accept public displays of affection between a pedophile and a little girl?
If you so strongly believe in unconditional love, then you shouldn't place any restrictions on it. But if you dont accept pedophiles, then you shouldn't be so offended when people refuse to accept homosexuals.
Where in there did I say unconditional love? I said 'care about each other'. Love is relative. As for pedophilia, you are taking my point to an extreme to make your own point, which isn't even relevant. If you believe that homosexuality is akin to pedophilia, then thats your problem. As soon as it becomes my problem, via confronting me about the fact that I date men, then you and I can "discuss".
I find it funny that eleveninches tries to seemingly justify pedophilia only days after he expressed his wishes to sleep with 10 year old Dakota Fanning (eleven's profile states that he is 20 years old).
What two consenting adults do is their own business. Notice that I said "TWO CONSENTING ADULTS"? Pedophilia by it's very definition is only one adult you silly twit.
As for Homosexuals adopting children, so long as a loving and safe environment is provided for a child and that child is educated and emotionally supported through their development, who cares if they have one parent or two parents, who cares if they are both men, both woman or one of each?
Sexual orientation has nothing to do with proper and acceptable parenting skills.

I totally agree. Two of my best friends are gay and looking to adopt. And I know they'd make great parents. As long as you're a good parent, sex shouldn't matter
Well, then… I think it’s scary to think that “some people” would mistake what two consenting adults do with how some psycho forces himself on kids who’re not even sexually mature yet.
The two have NOTHING in common, save in the minds of deranged people. I’m actually more afraid of those who equal the two, since those people have some serious mental incapability going on.

As I have said many times, this isn't about right or wrong. (from a biblical point of view) This is about denying rights based on sexual preference. I deserve no less rights than the next person. I pay my taxes, vote in elections and use the same roads as the stright person next to me. What does it matter who I sleep wtih, as long as I pay my dues as a human being in this world?
Originally posted by Capt_FantasticI agree, I mean if there is a stable home for a child and two loving parents I don't think that it matters if they are both male or both female! But I can see where people do come from, I mean the child might grow up being teased for having two mothers or two fathers.....
