Quoting KeithL: It is a biology issue. It has nothing to do with God or how God wants us. But I do feel sorry for children being brought up in these types of circumstances. This is the type of case where morality and legality meet head-on. Glad it is not for me to decide what is right here. |
Then why do I always hear gay people say "God made me this way". Is that an excuse?

I donno...  But ultimately, as least in my opinion, He will have the final say....so I try not to judge. It is easy for me to say its wrong in my mind or wrong for me.

I think that is directly related to what Keith meant that it is biology, sort of "God made them this way", it was not their choice.

first of all, I must say I dont have anything agaisnt gays, most of the time this is their choice. I have a couple of close friends who are lesbians.I have always respected their preferences, but when they talk about the possibility of having a child either her or her gf (which ever the method, sex with a man or artificial insemination)then it makes me wonder...is it really fair for their child to be raised in this environment? are they giving their child the right to choose his/her sexual preference or is this going to be something seen as "normal" and eventually he/she will opt to follow the same pattern?
I do respect gays, but I am a little concern about their children..

I would just like to point out that there is a distinct difference between being "gay" and being "transgendered". Being transgendered often has very little to do with sex but is an identity issue....at least that's what I have learned about it.

I think there have been studies that show that children of homosexual couples don't have any problems.

My sons godfather is gay, I obviously don't have a problem with gay people. But I do have a different perspective on it. I have a very difficult time believing God made them that way. Having a gender operation is a choice, made by them. Just my opinion. I don't think it's right.

Ok... many people would agree with you. This is not however what psychiatry thinks about it. During fetal development there has to be testosterone in order to make the baby male, it is possible that there are some disturbances that leave the baby's brain inconsistent with her/his reproductive organs.

Most people cant comprehend it because they aren’t in living it but for people that are transgender……if having surgery is right for them, then I say more power to them!
I really just don’t understand why people are so uncomfortable with it. That’s what I struggle with….why would anyone else care if I am male, or female, or hermaphrodite, or transgender or whatever!!
I just can’t even imagine what they must go through. From the confusion about their gender, to the people on the streets that stare…..or worse. No one would choose that life. Keith is right….it is strictly biological.
And if this person is now a male because of gender reassignment, and is having a baby…yay for them!! How many children are born into “normal†couples and are abused, unloved, or unwanted?

It is NOT a choice...it is NOT a preference!

Scientifically, yes this might be true. What about the ones who switch their preferances after having a "sexual experience" with someone from the same gender?
