I believe children being in a home where spousal or domestic abuse is openly advocated and practiced is abusive to those children - regardless of other circumstances....but hey, at least they have a mother and father, right?
No not right - depending on the kind of abuse they should be removed from the home.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

I guess it doesn't bother me as much because I realize that MOST homos don't flaunt their lifestyle like we see so often on TV and such. Most of them live as the rest of us. They are loving, caring, intelligent, and hard working individuals. If they want to take unwanted children or children who's own parents cannot care for them and raise them to be worthwhile individuals that society would be proud of, I'm all for it.
Oh, and 'studies' (whatever those are) have already proven that children of homosexual parents are less likely to be homos than children from hetero parents.
It's repulsive no matter how you slice it.

I was disgusted, to say the least, about an ad that came in my email concerning a new TV show called MODERN FAMILY. It is about three modern families, including a homosexual couple of men with a BABY!
My friend recently left her Lutheran church where she had been raised because they have a new stand on homosexuals being licensed to pastor. It is now allowed in the Lutheran church.
Lori is a pediatrician and was very involved with the children of her church. She called me one day to talk about this homosexual issue. It was bothering her already. But when I said to her, "So what will you say to a child in your Sunday School class who tells you that he has two mommies at home?", that was the straw that broke the camel's back. She could not bring herself to say to the child that that is ok. But she's also not going to be allowed to tell him that it is sin. So what could she do?
It's sad that this has infiltrated even the churches like this. I can see the Methodist church being the next to fall. Someone told me that there is a division of the Mennonite Church that already says it is acceptable to be homosexual. I don't know that for a fact tho.
I cannot bring myself to watch TV shows that condone this life-style. I won't even watch Rosie O'Donnell or Ellen DeGenerous. I'm sorry, but I just find their lifestyle to be nauseating.
Ditto!

I'm still trying to get someone to tell me how sexual orientation affects the parenting skills of an individual.
I, for one, already stated it brings a spiritual atmosphere into the house that other sins do not bring, since this involves a sin that is explicitly stated to be associated with those who choose to deny God of glory. Other sins are not mentioned in that light. And I already stated that such an issue may not involve actual care intended for children, but it is for this other reason that the parenting skills are affected. Care for children involves affection. How can those of "vile affection", as Paul put it, be proper parents, anyway, though?

Again I am not promoting the gay thing but what scripture do we have to say it is wrong..I know all the scripture about husband and wife.... but what scripture is there against gays stating that it is wrong...
Impossible for one to be both mother and father. I know folks say it but can not be done.
Sure it can. It is in no way optimal, or preferable and certainly not easy, but as a matter of necessity, it is doable. Single parents, whether they be woman or man, have always existed and many have done exemplary jobs.
