Romney Takes Shot At Gays In Final Speech

[theFallenGod]

I quite agree.

I live in Florida where it is illegal for homos to adopt children as it is assumed that gays must be sexual deviants. Rosie O'Donnell had to move out of Florida to keep her children. Last year a young lesbian mother died an awful death so not only did her partner lose her partner, but she also lost her child as she was not allowed to have custody of her partner's birth child after her death. And best of all, Florida has an awful foster-care program notorious for people putting children in cages to collect checks from the State. The State is willing to try anything to get these kids adopted, even offering free college and healthcare for them...as long as homos don't adopt them.

There is something terribly wrong with these dreadful people. Good riddance, Mitt!

3 Cheers to Anita Bryant and Rhonda Storms....

Hearing Romney's withdrawl speech today was the best thing to happen all day! I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief that one less anal drip is running. Not that i was too worried he would win, but then again, a drunken redneck millionaire was (s)elected twice! The right-wing religious wingnuts must be weeping over the loss of Mitt, and Huckabee can't win. I'm sure God is happy that a little less hatred will be thrust on the world.
Romney is so opposed to gays, he reminds me of Larry Craig. You just know that Mitt secretly wishes he was on all fours taking it in both ends in the smokey backroom of an Amsterdam S&M biker bar. These holier than thou types are THE biggest hippocrites on earth.

Joe, your/Romney's argument is wrong by virtue of obtuseness.

Everyone can see that mommy-daddy and the baby-carriage is a well-evolved institution.
So if two men or two women wish to have children they want to do so in spite of that obvious fact.
I think that such a family would strengthen human society by incorporating diversity and resiliency.
If you're gay and your brain is also a family-making brain, then GO FOR IT!
Really.

 

[Negasta]

Now all that needs to happen is for Huckabee to get raped to death by a pack of rabid howler monkeys.

 

[TygreBryte]

Am i the only gay guy that kinda agrees with the dude.

Yeah, times change, yes, two gay guys make good parents over a shite mum and dad.... but, one can not deny that 1000's of years of history and evolution tell us that mum AND dad are best.... why else would it take mother and female to procreate!?

I see nothing anti-gay in Romney's speech...

I don't know if you're the only gay guy who thinks that way or not, but I'm not really sure that I agree with the 1000s of years of history etc. tell us that mum and dad ARE best. People have come up with all kinds of strategies to raise kids, and done pretty well. one husband/one wife is just one way it's been done.

you've actually READ some history on this topic, right? and anthropology? and recent research?

that has to be one of the most foolish and mis-informed statements i have read on the subject of homosexuals being parents since i moved out of the caves.

one would think you are totally oblivious to the fact that there are, at least here in the states (i cannot speak for the U.K.) THOUSANDS OF HOMOSEXUAL COUPLES who are now raising children. whether they have fathered the children themselves and or adopted them they are essential to the concept of modern day parenting.

and if you are not aware of this, there is now major research beginning to appear that children raised in a homosexual home environment of two parents of the same gender - are as equal socially and psychologically adjusted individuals as those children coming from a "mom and pop" enivronment.

judging from your comments you have made in another thread about things from your past, maybe the problem is that you have been too busy screwing around to realize what is going on these days, in society as a whole and homosexual society itself. (no offense is intended here but these comments are based upon your own words just written in the last few days.)

that you can agree with the bigotted and prejudicial comments of Romney i guess can only be attributed to your lack of understanding of where this man comes from and his background.

a 1000 years of history and or evolution are no longer applicable to the issue of who should and should not be parents. the world as a whole is undergoing major changes in various societies about homosexual couples being parents. the emerging evidence is that there is no difference as to how a child raised in a home environment of that nature developes = socially and psychologically as an individual as compared to a "mom" and "pop" environment.

with your out dated thinking you are denying the successful parenting of thousands of homosexual couples in the colonies and the U.K. and other countries and societies. i think you need to remove yourself from your narrow view of homosexual thinking and go and look and see what is happening in societies as a whole and homosexual society itself. you seem to be all but oblivious as to what is taking place in the world in the year 2008.

eM.

It is a mute point.
Romney is no longer a candidate for nomination for
the Republican slate of nominees.

Now now...

There's no need for them to be rabid.

 

[drhladnjak]

I think there's some cultural misunderstanding going on here since many of those agreeing that this was an attack on gay people are American and many of those disagreeing are not Americans. The political dialog surrounding gay people in this country is often framed in the context of being anti-family. It's not a bad strategy really. Who is going to come out against families?

Unfortunately, the politicians always talk about every child needing a mother and father, but when it comes to a legislative agenda it pretty much only involves banning gay marriage. The only legislation I've seen come from these same people that deal with anything else is the covenant marriage movement, but that's nowhere near as prominent.

 

[Spiff]

Once again it amazes me to hear someone claim that marriage is such a sacred institution, when at least 50% of them end up with divorce or separation. If they amended the constitution to say marriage can only be for a man and woman, then they should also amend it to say a married man and woman are not allowed to divorce. What ever happened to "'til death do us part"? Those wacko conservatives can be the biggest hypocrites.

 

[GL]

at this point since he was making no headway in the polls his remarks are a non-issue to me. to me its a rather pathetic attempt to score points with the evangelicals when they never really supported him from the get go. anyhow, he's broomed himself off the stage.

I agree with Joe 100%.... a mom and dad are the best chance for a healty family. Not to say that there aren't other combinations that will work, but every study shows as well as common sense that a mom and dad are best to raise children. And it's not homophobic to say so.
Lighten up my gay friends. After all, I think the majority of us want the best society we can have.
I'm proud of the many gay couples that have adopted troubled kids. Those kids may have been abandoned or have special needs. Many gay couples have provided love and a fine home to these young children. There is a need for that kind of thing in this world.
But the ideal for a youngster growing up is to have a stable home with a mom and dad. That's all there is too it.
And it's not anti gay to say that isn't true.

by using the word every (a categorical word at that) in your statement you have basically negated your entire statement. how can you prove every study does what you say it does.

and as a matter of fact there are studies beginning to emerge which contradict what you have said. they are finding that children raised in a same couple household are just as well adjusted socially and psychologically as those raised in "mom" and "pop" households.

with all the divorces currently going on (approximately 50 percent here in the states) many children are being raised in single parent homes and they are turning out to be just as well adjusted as children coming from same sex couple homes as well as "mom" and "pop" homes.

you have just made a lot of generalizations that when examined basically lack a lot of substance and truth.

eM.

 

[sixthson]

Sadly, I don't know enough about being gay or a parent to give an honest opinion on gays parenting. I guess I shall remain ignorant.

 

[TygreBryte]

Come on.. you contradict yourself. 2 gays guys make good parents, but 1000's of years of history and evolution tell us mum and dad are best. What makes you think that history and evolutiion are right. Jesus Christ, gayness and parenting are a modern thing. 1000's year ago, you would be killed for being
"gay".

ten minutes ago, you might have been humiliated for being stupid.

 

[TygreBryte]

oops sorry attacking the wrong side.

 

[Kurn]

If you're gay and don't have a brain for parenting, don't.
If you're gay and have a brain that makes you good at parenting, then, please, DO!
