To me, sperm implantation should only be used for a married man and woman that are not able to have a child. This eliminates the question of who is my daddy as the child has grown up with a father.
yet, with the high divorce rate, almost half the kids end up with one parent anyhow.
or possibly visitation with the second parent at most.

Just out of curiosity, who made a statement that their was only one opinion that mattered. I welcome insight, questions, and opposing arguments.
.Can you please provide any credible evidence to back up and support any/all of the claims that are made in that post?
Nope! Marriage is an inalienable right of all persons of mature mind and body who are able to willingly consent to it regardless of sexual gender and orientation!
Personal Disclosure: So if Gay/Bi sperm donors agreed to fill out a identity-release policy, would you still have a problem [which this threads title clearly gives away as your position etc.] with homosexual/bisexual sperm donors donating?

So because bigots like yourself exist gay people shouldn't be able to have/raise children since those kids might "have questions" or "be made fun of"?
Plenty of kids are made fun of to the point of suicide or school shootings that were raised by a mother and a father.
This is all bs.

it's tough to forsee all arguments other posters might bring forth.
personally, i have no problem with people having an opinion that differs from mine. the problem i have is when people think their opinion is the only possibility, and all others are wrong.
i always toss out the other side of the story, even if i don't think it to be correct.
in this case, i would rather see a child go to a gay couple, than to an abusive household of a man and a woman.
But surely Homosexuals can be abusive too?

Do you support taking children away from families with a mother and father where the mother or father has a job like being a garbage man, which while it makes good money, can get the kid made fun of?
If a child is being made fun of in school should he be taken away from his family?
Lol.

I found this article very interesting. It demonstrates how painful it can be for these children to grow up with so many questions. It also demonstrates how little thought people put into using these services.

If the question ever does arise it can be answered fairly easily. But, in a homosexual home, the child grows up with two mommies knowing something is not as it should be the moment the meet other children.
People make the argument that this type of home is just as loving, and I agree, but it apparently does not provide everything a child needs to be well adjusted and happy. It also confuses the child especially in youth. This type of selfishness shows that people today put themselves above the people that they bring into the world.
People make choices in life that keep them from having children all of the time, homosexuality is just another one of those choices and should remain so. Just because we have the science to do something, does not mean that we should.
This is just another reason marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

It can be just as painful growing up with heterosexual parents, or just one parent. You can also have just as many questions.

disagree, adoption and the use of donors and surrogates should be made available to anyone who needs to use those services and it shouldn't matter your sexuality or marriage status. If one is able to financially support a child and give that child a good home with love and care and is unable to have them they should be allowed to use other options. I am unable to have kids and if I never get married I will adopt on my own. Is that wrong to you because there wouldn't be a father? I want kids and I shouldn't have to be married to do so and someone shouldn't have to be heterosexual either. If they can provide for the child a nice loving home then that is all that matters.

What IS required to make a child well adjusted and happy? It depends on your views of raising a child.
Who says it confuses the child? Almost any case where homosexuals have adopted or had surrogates they always let their kids know from a young age the family situation. I have seen this personally with two couples I know. It is again all in how you raise a child.
So it's selfish because they want to bring a life into this world and raise it with love and care? I don't think that is selfish.

um

I am all for marriage but not for what it has become. Marriage to me doesn't need a certificate and it shouldn't matter if they are the same sex or not. Marriage is about commitment and love between two people. I see marriage as a celebration of the one you love.

Confusing? You point doesn't even make sense. If my mother was a lesbian I think I would have been juuust fine. I have a friend who's mother was lesbian and you know how you explain it to a child. Sometimes mommies love mommies some times daddies love daddies some times mommies love daddies. They are just like everyone else.
NO thanx but thanx, what happens if this behavior became dominate in human culture?????
and this statement:
Sometimes mommies love mommies some times daddies love daddies some times mommies love daddies. They are just like everyone else.
And what happens when the kids get to school and are challenged by the majority who just say your parents are GAY.... Kid goes home feelin like damn my parents told me a damn lie.
Remember I am not bashing cause I loves the ladies, just commenting on the effects of this on a species longterm.
