It's bad for hetero parents to raise kids wrong, but even if the "gay" couple show caring, the entire atmosphere is ungodly and will twist the child in spiritual ways that would not occur otherwise.

To me (and to God), it's not anymore ungodly than any other atmosphere children are raised in when there is no God in their lives.
Like I stated before, you will have a hard time finding anyone in prison today because they had two moms or two dads. And rarely still will you find someone who is gay because their parents were gay.

ho, your defense of these situations is abhorrent.
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.
Absurd. What studies? Are you telling me a child is better off with two dads than a mom and dad?

GASP. Are you defending same-sex marriage? I'm confused about your points. You take something else that's awful to seemingly defend the "Modern Family?" I think many of us are confused by what you are intending.

HeavenlyOne, I have a couple of friends who are not openly gay. But everyone has wondered for many, many years. Know what I mean? So the two ladies adopted two children together. They raised them as a family with both of them as mom's. You're right. Neither of them turned out gay. And they are not in prison. But they are very clearly messed up. Seriously. They are such confused young people that you really have to feel bad for them.
Would it have been different if their moms had been openly gay? I don't know. But I doubt it. Especially in a small town like this, people can be very cruel. And you have to know that these two kids endured ALOT of humiliation because of the lifestyle in their homes.

I respectfully disagree. Romans 1 puts homosexuality in a category all by itself. God did not say he gave people over to anything else as He did to homosexuality due to people dishonouring God's glory and refusing to respect Him. There's is something significantly vile about God's image, man, being dealt with so as in homosexuality.
So, to me, and it seems God, it is worse than other atmospheres.
Romans 1:21-28 KJV Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: (27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
I know you do not condone homosexuality, but I think you are very wrong in saying it's no worse than other atmospheres. Whether or not children raised by them are not affected in certain ways, they are affected spiritually in ways we may never fully comprehend. Homosexuality is a spiritual issue since it slaps at the very image of God.

Margie, your post reminded me of something I saw on tv. A teenage girl that was being raised by two lesbians was all upset and crying because she was afraid she was disappointing/upsetting her moms because she liked a boy.
