Well we constantly need to have more children for various reasons. If we just stopped having children that would be a problem.
There is merit in being wise with how many children you have. Mormons for example are freely allowed to take advantage of birth control and family planning. They are still encouraged to have children but are told to pray about it to make sure they are making the right decision with how many children they have.

The point is that gay people not having children isn't a problem, and shouldn't be used as an excuse to discriminate against them.

My intention isn't to discriminate against them because they can't have children. My point is that they are missing out. Having children is a great blessing that teaches you a lot about becoming more like Christ and God. You become a teacher, role model, and provider for your children and that triggers a lot of personal character growth, and Mormons believe that your family ties continue into the afterlife. Thats why the Mormon church encourages everyone to have children, since it becomes a learning experience. Part of that experience of course includes learning to act as man and wife in tandem, and that's something that gay people are missing out on as well.

-
Gay people can't have their own biological children within their partnership. Yes the mother and father roles are tied into their sex. Sorry.

-
I'm not restricting anyone's rights. I'm just expressing my opinions that are based around my faith. You are getting offended and I don't intend for you to be.

Edited by Demagogue: 2/18/2015 1:15:46 AMIf you don't allow someone to get married or raise children outside of a traditional union you are restricting their rights. Is that not what you support?

I believe that it's not right but I don't think people shouldn't be allowed to live how they choose. That's why it's great to live in America. I can have a different opinion than you and it's ok. If people really want to be gay then they will be gay. I may not agree with it but that's alright. I take advantage of this myself. I am allowed to be religious even though people tell me I'm a moron for doing so. If the op wants to get married to another man and adopt a child then he has every right to. Am I not allowed to express my opinion or encourage him to try something different?
-
You're totally allowed, just as I am allowed to tell you why I think your position is wrong.

Great! Glad we can agree!
