Man raised by lesbians: Gay families causing “human rights crisis”
I published some articles about being the product of gay parenting and received hundreds of e-mails from around the world pleading with me to fight against a growing human-rights crisis caused by the LGBT movement….
[T]hey were children of sperm donors, troubled adoptees, people agonized by the baby-farming in India and elsewhere, gays horrified at what is being done in the name of “gay families,” religious people, atheists, people who know for whatever reason that buying babies and erasing fatherhood or motherhood is not the fruit of love….
If straight couples get to have undiluted custody of such a child, so should gay couples. So they must have the “right” to enforce contracts preventing surrogate mothers from wanting their babies back, the “right” to have sperm banks operate and sell them sperm, the “right” to jump the queue in line for Catholic Charities, the “right” to farm babies in the third world, the “right” to extort gratitude from the children they’ve placed in these situations, and the “right” to blind a child to at least one of his or her biological parents. If any of these “rights” is not held up with the full force of a state apparatus, then the slogan fails….
The changes in gay culture have created a large pool of same-sex couples who not only want children without involving themselves with the opposite sex, but also feel that any qualms are banned forms of hate speech….
The fight for marriage has never been about marriage. Marriage is the only way to have legal cover and shield themselves from criticism for their bioethical stunts.

Thank you! Thank GOD for you, this is wonderful. I know the supreme court case regarding Prop. 8 is coming up in March – the one that the radical, liberal-left hopes will precedent the misguided cause of homosexual advocacy in this country as a stridently, federally-enforced issue, mandating, with litigious tyranny, a new set of discriminatory standards in all institutions and organizations from grade schools to Church’s, across the country.
Please consider giving up a few little luxuries in light of the issue: http://www.dumpstarbucks.com/
They also produce a few other brands of coffee including Taozo iced tea, and Seattles Best Coffee.
I know practicing homosexuals and though I love them, I don’t love the sin, nor do I let it prevent me from expressing my belief that the dissolution of marriage will be the bitter end of this country. Consider their free bumper sticker as well, though I would also say that promoting the sanctity of marriage is a very heated issue and the devil’s got his stake firmly in it.
Prop. 8 was voted down twice in California. A court ruled in favor of it, super ceding the vote, but it was promply over-turned, and CAlifornia remains in defense of marriage. The Supreme Court could very well over-rule it, and force it on California and the Country.
God Save America.

The legalization of gay marriage actually creates a state sanctioned marketplace in humanity.
Children are no longer the results of a free association between two human beings, but the product of a 3rd party in the relationship. Anywhere a market is established, the incentive is to expand that market. Payment for services becomes an opportunity to expand and profit. Legalities and representation will grow as well.
So the cost to a society to support something so fundamental to a culture as on-going generations increases with “gay marriage”.
Supporters avoid such serious questions, but they rely heavily upon heterosexuals to carry the burden of the continuation of the culture.
Medical options and inter-mixing of other parties is far more subject to corruption than one man and one woman.

I can already hear the howling. And it’s true that there are heterosexual couples that turn to these same methods either from vain selfishness or desperation – that should be stopped as well. But that leaves the fact that every single gay couple who believes he or she has the right to a child will either function in this immoral wasteland or will try to adopt. In either case, the result will be a child deliberately deprived of a mother or a father.

“The legalization of gay marriage actually creates a state sanctioned marketplace in humanity.”
Baloney. Have you ever heard of the Baby Scoop Era? Babies getting stolen from unwed and young mothers and basically sold to whatever couple wanted them? That was on the heteros, not gays. Most of the people using IVF are straight infertile couples or single straight women, too, which makes sense because gay couples comprise a small percentage of the population. Same with baby-farming and surrogacy. I think there is something to be said for the shameful way we treat children like a commodity, but it’s not due to gay couples. It’s everyone thinking that they are entitled to a child, when children are not commodities, not just gay couples. I don’t have a problem with gay adoption or IVF that doesn’t create extra embryos, I have a problem with everyone no matter their orientation acting entitled to their own child.

Agreed that the child-as-commodity culture is wrong and involves same sex couples as well as married couples.
I also agree that erasing motherhood or fatherhood is not the fruit of love.

I also agree. I mentioned before that birth mothers have quite a bit of power nowadays because the supply of babies available for adoption is so limited. Most want a young heterosexual couple to adopt their children, not single parents or a gay couple.

People should not deny the perspective this man brings to the conversation about homosexual marriage and his plea for us to recognize the rights of children. His experience growing up in a lesbian homosexual household has obviously given him a desire to present the issue in a balanced manner. If we choose not to listen to him, ignore him, or silence his thoughtful argument we end up being bullies banishing his experience in favor of our own political ideology, whether it be a right or left political ideology. People should read the full article written by this “bisexual” man in an American Thinker. His declaration on his blog is an equally compelling read. He is hardly a right-wing activist/fundamentalist. He appears to be thoughtful and tries to be considerate to all parties. In short, we do need to focus on the children so that we do not lose sight of their rights.
Are the rights of children being infringed upon with gay adoption, etc.? Are the rights of parents who place their children for adoption being respected? Are people (aka sellers and buyers) being respected by the businesses that work in the bio-material/human reproduction field?

Tyler, no discussion is allowed. If you oppose anything liberal, you are fillled with hate.
Please make note: stop promoting these ideas such as “being considerate to all parties.” You will eventually be on the FBI terrorist watch list with talk like that.

This stuff is seriously and utterly ridiculous. If WBC gets full legal rights to spew their crap, I am certain that normal disagreements and discussions on this and other issues will remain protected for the forseeable future. To say stuff like this is just hyperbole and fear mongering, in my opinion. Some people apparently want to feel like a victimized class when they aren’t. At all.

I agree. And I would add that in the case of adoption, a child is not “deprived of a mother and father” when the alternative is a childhood spent in the foster care system.

“Are the rights of children being infringed upon…?”
YES, YES, YES. The rights of children have been trampled on for over 40 years, starting with the misguided policies of the Great Society, which had the effect of separating children from their biological fathers. And all we do is make the situation worse for children, with no-fault divorce, abortion on demand and IVF.
Children are treated as commodities and we wonder why they seem depressed and alienated.
And I have seen people’s careers destroyed by hate-mongering by gay rights activists. But the way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them and that includes standing up to gay rights bullies – whatever their orientation. The straight allies are the most abusive bullies.

“a child is not “deprived of a mother and father” when the alternative is a childhood spent in the foster care system”
Actually rarely the alternative since there is no evidence that gay couples adopt from this population primarily or even at a higher rate than straight couples. In the vast majority of cases, a gay adoption deliberately deprives a child of one parent or the other. This is the lie that will never die….just like no one wants to adopt black babies and how there wouldn’t be enough people to adopt the babies if abortion were illegal.

So thankful that this topic is being brought into the light more and more. And it’s not a gay thing. This is how our culture views children: as property to which adults have a right.

A good article giving the real scoop about “same-sex marriage”. It’s not about “hate” but about the “gay agenda”.
His quote “The fight for marriage has never been about marriage. Marriage is the only way to have legal cover and shield themselves from critcism for their bioethical stunts.” is profound and eloquent.
I said on a different thread this is only the tip of the iceberg. Mr. Lopez writes “I deserve the same rights’ eventually means that a same-sex couple deserves to have a child provided to them, even though they can’t conceive it themselves.”…”Underneath the appeals to “love” lie a morass of brutally gory market mechanisms, approaching science fiction. The changes in gay culture have created a large pool of same-sex couples who not only want children without involving themselves with the opposite sex, but also feel that any qualms are banned forms of hate speech.”… “Stop gay marriage –not because of hate for gay people, but because the machine that is turning people into chattel must be stopped.” I am sincerely sorry the author went through so much growing up and will pray for him.
Read “The Gay Agenda” by Alan Sears and “A Queer Thing Happened To America” by Michael L. Brown they carefully research and give documentation of the well crafted plan to compare “gay rights” to “civil rights” and claiming all defenders of traditional marriage and heterosexual marriage are ”racist, bigoted homphobes”.

Please include a topic not covered in “the true urgencies facing LGBT individuals in the areas of mental health, epidemiology, and social justice, as exemplified by crisis rates of suicide, depression, eating disorders, addictions, sexually transmitted in infections including HIV, and experience of bullying from both gays and non-gays for the very same traits (poverty, awkwardness, non-gender conformity, obesity, etc.) that will likely cause the most visible victims of such bullying to find themselves uncoupled for much of adult life or coupled in relationships with greater risk for domestic violence”:
Many HIV positive gays don’t tell partners
– A high proportion of active male homosexuals consider it the responsibility of the uninfected to protect themselves, therefore they don’t disclose their HIV+ status during casual epidemiological interactions.

Jill,
Lopez has just eloquently described what will fuel the rise of artificial pregnancy via IVF and artificial uteri. Homosexuality–indeed, anything that deliberately goes against God’s statutes and precepts (which He gave, by the way, so that those who choose to follow them will live…)–is a Pandora’s box that cannot be closed nearly as easily as it was opened…
…and we thought that “The Matrix” was fiction…
…even so, come Lord Jesus…

As our culture, even some Christian sects within, has progressively turned away from the concept of human inviolability by allowing and promoting contraception, abortion, and euthanasia, it should come as no surprise that humans are themselves no longer viewed at large as great and mysterious creatures invited to holiness by God. No, humans are viewed as mere things, property, or chattel. So, why shouldn’t we accept the concept of some defined sector of humanity to be treated as live stock for the benefit of those of us fortunate enough to own a piece or parcel? Baby farms, embryo banks, embryonic stem sells, surrogacy; aren’t we all entitled to property? Without a strong and faithful defense of the truth of man’s nature as an inviolable being created in the image of, and invited into unity with God, the inevitible ownership by the more powerful will prevail.
