Homophobic Bullying

Homophobia is a problem all across the U.S. Many people are scared to express how they feel because they are so scared they might get made fun of.  I don't think gays should be bullied because you can't help how you feel for someone, even someone of the same sex. However, I do think it's a problem when the relationship is being taken to the next step, such as, when gays or lesbians go to get married because I feel as though marriage should be between a man and a women. I also think it tends to be a problem when these couples wants to have a baby.  I think that complicates the babies life and just puts their child in a very uncomfortable situation as they grow older. I don't think it should be allowed because it puts the child in a situation where they are most likely to get made fun of or bullied because they have 2 dads or 2 moms which is not the norm. Again, I have no problem with gays and lesbians seeing each other and they by no means should be bullied because of it.  They have a freedom of rights too and shouldn't be looked down upon because of it.  That's how God created them and they can't change or help that. I only see it as a problem when its being taken to the next level.  Again, I think everything should be done to not let bullying happen to these kids.  Bullying in general can lead to very harmful and sometimes fatal situations and with no doubt needs to come to an end.

    interesting post. you say you feel that gay couples adopting children will lead to harder lives for those children. by that right, couldn't you also argue that poor people shouldn't have children? or, in the days of segregation, that minorities shouldn't have had them? I'm not trying to antagonize you, just trying to get a better idea of what you mean.

    I agree with you in the way that i think that people of the same sex should not be allowed to adopt kids.

    i agree with the marriage thing, but not much about the adoption thing. there are many children in this world with out a home or someone to care for them. many gays dont adopt just to have a kids around or turn them "gay" or anything. They tend to do it to offer love and have a family. i would much rather see a child being with a gay couple than in the streets or feeling alone.

    I totally agree with you, I think it can lead to very harmful situations in which it may probably will not have a solution and can cause many problems, for sure this has to come to an end.

    Its sad to think how there is that fear and hate towards gays. But I agree with you, they should be able to adopt kids

    Oh my god. I am sorry to sound very opposing here, but if we let bullies decide how the world should be we are so wrong that it literally scares me. Don't do it because they can be bullied? That's the start to all harassment of "unusual" or outside the norm, to let it be the norm, to let it be something "wrong".

    I agree that homophobic bullying should not be tolerated. Also, I agree with some of your statements on how it can complicate a babies life. But I feel that people shouldnt get ridiculed over such things they have no control over.

    I agree with you that we cannot do anything with what we feel. If we are in love and have feelings for someone of your same sex, well that is love and you cannot do anything. I think that we are all equal and that we all have the same rights. And we can have feelings for anyone, doesn't matter sex. I do agree that a lot of gay people don't want to express their feelings because they don't know how people may react to them.

    I agree with you, that gay couple shouldn't be allowed to adopt, i do think it makes life harder for the child. But the whole marriage thing, i don't think would be too bad. I mean like you said, we can't help who we love.

    I disagree with the marriage idea and the idea with gays having children. First lets talk about the marriage issue. Religiously I agree, but you also have to consider the rights that marriage brings to a couple such as custody battles, property rights, and applications for loans (joint income). These were right that were deprived from women for years, and now we are doing the same thing to the gay community.

    The children issue is wrong in so many ways because you can argue poor people should not have children, stupid people should not have children, gang members, and so on. By denying these people that right your preventing these poor orphans from finding a home.

    I disagree with the adopting children. My friend has two moms and is a perfectly fine hard working man. Many of my friends are gay and would be great mothers. I agree that maybe the child may be bullied or will have problems, but the child learns to deal with it and love what he or she has. Love is love(:

    Thank you Raven Alfonso Casimir Carla! We all must show or ideals, the rights of everybody. If the world not yet is where we want it, it's as bad to go with the flow and let it be instead of changing it. That's what standing up is. In the adoption issue, again, bullies decide what to tolerate? No. Not according to my ideals. And that gay parents would affect their children to be gay? It's who you are, not some brainwashing! Any resisting towards the whole thing means that you really fifn't accept gay people if you in any case think it could be "worse", "not as good".

    I think marriage is supposed to be a union between 2 people that love and care for each other. Gay couples also deserve the benefits that the country gives to married couples. Also, you make a good point about kids of gay couples being bullied, but that can change if we educate our children in a more open mind environment.

    I agree with you about them not adopting any kids because like you said when they grow up they will have a harder life and will be made fun of. Also, they would be embarrassed about letting other people know about their family roots. I just don't agree with you on the marriage part because I think they also deserve to be happy.

    children have been made fun of for being poor, their appearance and many other things ..so having gay parents can be the same for a child who has "normal" parents...i dont know if that really made sense but point is that kids will be bullied regardless. and having gay parents cant be as bad as having "normal" parents who are constantly arguing or fighting in front of their children..not saying all "normal" parents do that

    (by "normal" i mean male and female)

    ..its funny..now that i read these comments...how peaceful WE are NOT...even a simple post makes some of us snap.
