  70. Then there is multipal husbands and/or wives with kids as family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyandry
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory
    Learn acceptance because it happens all over the world. Forget the laws because some places it is legal. Even when it is not it still doesn't change the fact of love, happiness, and peace from how people care for each other.

    Thank you for posting +Amanda Blain . :)
    I am just married to one man but believe every one has a right to be happy and loved the ways they want to.

  74. Batman has a family with Alfred Pennyworth when he is young, and Robin later. Still he grieves nonstop for the family he lost. Yes poor guy but he finds ways to keep going. Especially with Cat Woman. ;)

  84. batman = his parents were killed infront of him as a child and he was left all alone. it's saying that.. even completely alone, you should be accepted. you're still a family.

  162. Disgusting. Shame on all you rude ignorant people posting foolish comments of hate in the name of god! GO educate yourself on history and stop spreading such hate as 'gods word'… Judge not lest you be judged! …

  173. +Adrianna Bieber Have you ever heard of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex?
    People are born this way so if you really think a god has a hand in creation of babies then you blame that not the people that are born.
    Second there is beauty and better things than claiming a book made by bigoted human hands is the rules of life we should follow. Just to think of all the love we can share instead of such hate to all the human race instead.

  174. If God didn't want gay people he would've said so, and you know what he didn't. Why is it so hard to learn to tolerate behavior that is different from yours? The fact I'm heterosexual doesn't mean I need to impinge my way of life to the rest of the world. God's teachings are of love, respect, humility, never hatred, intolerance and bigotry.

  181. Well there is times by the Abrahamitic religions texts say to kill, rape, and do things that seem hypocritical of what love is.
    There are those famed men only and women only bathrooms, language variation of how to address only men and women, applications for jobs requiring what sex (F or M) to choose from and birth certificates. What were you saying about being heterosexual and impinging on others in any way?
    Other wise I do see people holding hate signs from churches but never mind I guess that is freedom of religion.

  209. Without really jumping the gun based on the photo. How do you know that the two women are not just aunts and the one circle with two men are not brothers helping to raise a child? Some people that wouldn't know in a restaurant would just assume that they are LBGT only.
    It shouldn't matter if they are LBGT or not just let them be a family. Why show reactions that are hurtful abuse of any kind for children to watch? Please be kind.

  224. I thought initially, oh nice, they're making a statement that just because there isn't a male adult, a female adult and a child, but instead, 2 males, two females, or one male or one female doesn't mean there isn't a family…then I scrolled down…I kinda died…I still giggled though

  225. True, it can be a combination of varieties such as a mother and her sister, father and his brother, or a kid who had his parents killed and he was technically adopted, or anything at the like. As soon as unethical and unmoral situations get implemented here, it is absolute sin. Respect must stay permanent, but we have to recognize the lost souls of these poor uneducated people.

    Reply ↓

  226. No offense to my question, but, to whom is the kid gonna say mom or dad if both parents are the same sex?
    Is it ok to raise a child in a family where the child will be growing up irritated?
    "Michael, tell your mother to come by the school tomorrow".
    - "Which one?"
    Lol

  231. Sodomites, and their supporters, should realize what kind of wrath and anger they are evoking on earth and in Heavens. Death comes to us all. After death we move to new lives, different land, different world. What we do in this life determines where we live and what we do next life. If you don't believe that, you didn't believe you were coming out of the womb when you were in there. It's quite the same thing. If you don't believe there is life after death, look at yourself every time you sleep and wake up the next day!!!! When you move to the next life (pass away), on the other side, you'll feel like you just woke up. But things will be different then, very different.

  240. True and agree – but all those variations, except the first one, are either abnormal families or incomplete families.
    And, I believe you do not have to have a "marriage" to form a family. Same-sex couples, please form your families – "abnormal", as I believe, or "normal" as you believe, all the best to you. But please do not call it a marriage – because it is NOT. We do not call "red" color as "gray" color just because color-blind people see red as gray.

  245. +Andrew D – is that any harder than both my parents being doctors? So I'd address letters from the school to Dr & Dr Lastname.

    It's a small quirk. You mention it a few times. And then you get on with your life.

    My son has grown up with both his parents, and our housemate friend. The housemate is akin to a second mother to him, often sharing in the duties to raise him, joining us for story time, doing activities with him. Although there's no genetic or legal link, and no name for her role in his life, she's very much a part of his "family."

    And it doesn't cause problems. Occasionally someone will call her his mother, and depending on the situation, she'll just let it slide, or say "No, I'm a housemate."

    The "problem" of which parent to call "Mom" if they are both the same sex is nonexistant. It's the same "problem" of which grandparent to call "grandma" when there are two to choose from. You either pick a different name or title for one, or accept that they both fall under the same title.

    If a child "grows up irritated" from having to explain this on occasion, then they have other, larger issues that they need to deal with. I'll finish your example conversation for you:
    "Michael, tell your mother to come by the school tomorrow."
    "Which one?"
    "Either."
    "Okay."

    It's not a terribly irritating or long conversation to have. It might even be longer:

    "Michael, tell your mother to come by the school tomorrow."
    "Which one?"
    "What do you mean?"
    "I have two mothers"
    "Oh. Then bring either one."
    "Okay."
    And this assumes the teacher is specifically looking for a female parent. Most likely they'd have just said "Tell one of your parents to come by the school tomorrow."

  247. +Wei Cheng speaks sense. It is not about opposing, condemning or rejecting homosexuals, it is about loving them and therefore encouraging them to aspire to live the best way: form families and live in marriages designed the best way. We are all broken people and need help to do that – "straight" or "gay" as we so like to label.

  248. i dont think it is okay and i dont wanr to start a argument but i know from how my friends life is but she is very upset because she is in this situation and does not have a motherly figure in her life and so i think that a family needs to be a whole with a mom and a dad and a kid. Now again not trying to start an argument so please dont because of what i said.

  250. I do see marriage as enslavement for some in some countries. Because children are forced into it with out choice.
    How ever there is that marriage and bond that does not always have to be on paper. Though why hide that love?
    If people want to be married to each other I am all for it. What would it really hurt? Just some peoples with closed minds getting a head ache I suppose.

  254. I love how all of the sudden MY family is the end of the world because it is composed of two men. People need to realize that these relationships and families have existed in all cultures since before language developed, and we are not hurting any of you that think it is terrible, or hurtful, or even somehow disrupting society. 14 years later in my marriage and society has not imploded over two men getting married, I can assure you that no matter your conception of Divinity, my 14 year relationship is not considered sinful, and is built on love, not sex like many seem to imply.

  259. Yay let's all call gay marriage disgusting to get a reaction! Maybe if we throw in a few things about God, people will even agree, if they don't try to no avail to find somewhere in the bible where God explicitly demeans homosexuality!

  266. Marriage is okay, if an individual desires such an interest. Me though I prefer live in 1st, if it proceeds to marriage, I am for it. It also does not apply for everyone. I am for children after a couple of years, make sure both man and woman are compatible.

    Reply ↓

  269. +Andrew D The problem of which parent to call mom isn't really a problem at all.

    It's like seeing a pair of chopsticks and asking which one is the fork.

    Ok, maybe that's a bad example, but surely just as you can have two grand fathers or two sisters, you can also have two fathers.

  274. "It doesn't have ANY effect on your life. What do you care? People try to talk about it like it's a social issue. Like when you see someone stand up on a talk show and say 'How am I supposed to explain to my child that two men are getting married?' I dunno, it's your shitty kid, you fuckin' tell 'em. Why is that anyone else's problem? Two guys are in LOVE but they can't get married because YOU don't want to talk to your ugly child for five fuckin' minutes?" – comedian Louis CK

  289. QUESTION: what would be wrong with having three mummies with two daddies and four goats as the 'special' parents to children?

    I mean why stop the insanity of two only two parents of the same sex, if we're going to do something let's do it properly, why not just have one big commune with no parents just overseers-adults?

    Reply ↓

  291. +Cyan Reed That is a bit racist but let me explain what I think. When you do any type of organization based on color, whether good or bad, you are still being racist. It is racist because you are distinctly organizing people based on color which implies that they are different because of their skin. So that means there is a difference between people based on their skin color, when really, skin color shouldn't decide anything about someone. So in multicolored families, they are really just all the same since skin color shouldn't decide something about them.

  299. +Anthony Kelly who said that Adam and Eve were the only people created after Adam there well could have been other people created, and also the scriptures say Adam and Eve went on to have other children and at the point the blood was pure so the incest thing would not have been an issue, in case you were thinking of going there.

  303. BOOOO(B)! I really don't understand why they call the alone child Batman-other than his dead parents- either its just me or I think it should be the joker. lol.

  309. +Amanda Blain firstly you have a sexist website as it is just fire woman so we know where you head is at, secondly you never answered my question, what would be wrong with 5 mummies and 7 daddies, honestly, I'd you are wanting integration surely we musty respect those who want to live like that?

    Reply ↓

  312. People obviously missed the point of this post by +Amanda Blain, and fail to use logical arguments to counter it, then stand behind hateful comments and demand tolerance. Malcolm X said "To teach a man to hate himself is one of the most criminal acts you can do." Remember that when you are decrying me and many others in loving, caring, and respectful relationships. I have been with my husband for 14 years, married for 7, and I am 34. My town has not plunged into chaos, nor has my state, and I do not demand religious institutions perform them if they are opposed, I do demand they respect me and my marriage and not try to revoke it though.

  316. +Matt Peters and +Patrick Moore i didn't delete anything from here except extreme hate… Those who are uneducated self centered bigots are revealing themselves just fine. Tolerance … Let me google that for you folks

    tol·er·ance? noun 1. a fair, objective, and permissive(let me google that one for you too …. Permissive – characteristically accepting of something, such as social behavior that others might disapprove or forbid) attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry.

    So uh yeh… Tolerance… What all you people who are outwardly objecting to this statement.. are NOT doing.

  318. There are many abominations besides homosexuality in the bible. Why doesn't anyone get mad over a woman staying in the home while on her period? If you're on board with one abomination, you should be on board with all of them.

    That said, if you don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle, just turn the other cheek. It doesn't affect you in any way. Live and let live.

  319. +Michael James and now you are resorting to personal attacks that have nothing to do with the issue. http://www.yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem

    Since you repeated the question.. you obviously didn't read the page. Deflecting the argument to points that are completely not logical or connected in any way.. is flawed debate.

    Learn to debate or don't comment. Turn the other cheek should be more used than the constant hate that flow from some peoples mouth based on obscure random scriptures and heresay….

  325. I believe a marriage should be between a man and a woman. That's what the bible says and I believe what the bible says is true. I wish people could learn to respect my opinion

  333. Ok I think people can marry whoever they want so it shouldn't matter if the person is the same gender as long as they love each other. So I say whatever to you people who say it should only be between man and women. Learn that the bible doesn't have to be right all the time.

  341. Ok this is just getting stupid. People are people, everyone is different. Yes, that means everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it does not make everyone right. I may be wrong, as this is a personal opinion, but I believe that all people were made different because if we were all clones, that would be boring. This includes homosexuality, as it is a way people are different. In fact, it and artistic expression are, in my mind, two of the biggest things that make people different. If your opinion differs from this one, tell me, but be prepared to back it up without logical fallacies…If you agree but wish to add on, be my guest. Also, how would you lke it if people discriminated against you for a thing you find to be very normal, such as an accent, your job, the way you walk, etc. (just random examples)…the list goes on and on…who gave you the right to choose what is the norm? As I said, just an opinion, but I like to think it's true, at least partially.

  348. +Joe Render the first person that I dated was a black woman… a lot of people believed that was wrong too.

    Would it have been ok for other people to publicly judge my relationship because of their own personal beliefs?

    I personally don't find men attractive – I think it's the smell – but I don't think I should go around telling others who they should or shouldn't fall in love with.

    Now, a lot of people believe that gay relationships are "wrong". To those people I say "don't be gay then".

    The problem is people going a step further and basically telling gay couples "your love and your relationship is less valuable than mine".

    I don't understand it. What is wrong with, for example, two women loving each other?

    Reply ↓

  354. +Michael James – um, yeah. I'm OK with your suggestion of having more than 2 parents.

    I'm in a stable relationship, married to a woman. We have a two year old.

    We also have a good friend who lives with us as a housemate, and she's a big part of my child's life. She helps care for him, and helps raise him. As far as he's concerned, she's part of his family.

    Is he any poorer because he has three "parents"? No. He gets just as much love from his "real" parents, and also gets love from this third person.

    Is anyone confused? No. She knows that he is our child, not hers. He knows that there is "Momma, Daddy, and Catherine." His childcare knows that she lives with us, and is allowed to collect him. We haven't had any dramas or problems.

    Now, I'm not in a sexual relationship with her, so I guess we've got a "traditional" marriage – but honestly, nobody outside of the three of us would know if I was in a relationship with her (or if my wife was in a relationship with her) – nobody has ever asked. It wouldn't make any difference to anyone's lives, including my son. (Except one time when one of my wife's friends saw me with her, didn't realize she was my housemate, and thought I was having an affair.)

    So, um, yeah. Even if we have familities with more than two parents, I'm having trouble seeing what the big deal is. Many cultures have multiple adults who share in the job of raising children.

    Second, Love the way the people who say "The bible tells me so" have obviously not read or understood it, and many of them seem to be going on Rhetoric and hyperbole that they have seen or heard from others.

    Biblical marrage types: http://www.religioustolerance.org/biblemarriage.jpg

    Folks, I respect your right to have an opinion, but i ask you this:
    If it has no direct impact on your life, and is doing no harm, and is between consenting adults. what has it got to do with you?

    My family consists of me and my long term GF, I have no intention to have children and neither does she (the bible has things to say about that too, the primary being "go forth and multiply") but doesn't make our family any less valid.

  470. I think you're confusing tolerance and acceptance. I will tolerate homosexuals. I will not, nor should I accept what goes against every fiber of my Being. Why should I give up my beliefs so others can have theirs? They should give theirs up for what I believe.

  479. +Michael Walker this makes no sense to me at all… so everyone who doesn't believe the same things as you about everything should follow what you believe? Religion? what about how you believe you should cook spaghetti? what about your view on tv shows? the whole world needs to follow what you believe?

    Flawed flawed logic. If you are truly tolerant.. you accept people are different and can do what they want with their lives without YOUR interference. When you say you tolerate but they should not be allowed….. that is where this cycle is broken.

    *Tolerate, disagree, don't practice it yourself… but let those who want to, do as they like*. This is Tolerance.

    On some level.. i hope you understand that.

  491. The problem with this post is that the poster is confusing tolerance with acceptance/ condonement . From a Judeo-Christian standpoint (since it’s the stereotypical homophobic group), people have the God-given freedom to sin (i.e. engage in a homosexual lifestyle). Therefore, it is tolerated insofar as the individual engaging in the homosexual lifestyle has that freedom of will. Now, the issue is that the poster is commanding people to accept it and based on the comments, I surmise that acceptance equates to condonement. That’s equivalent to telling people that they must condone prostitution. For many, prostitution is an immoral act and I would surmise is the reason why it is illegal in most states. You can claim that this is comparing apples to oranges but if we break down what marriage and prostitution are at the core, we come to the realization that both are personal contracts. Now, if I engage in prostitution (as either a john or prostitute), by the poster's inferred line of reasoning, not only must one tolerate it, they must accept and condone such activity. However, when I frame the argument in those terms, it because clear that such a claim is audacious. In summary, one can make a case for promoting tolerance of immoral behavior based on our free will to sin however, attempting to force people to accept/condone behavior contrary to their beliefs is, in and of itself, intolerant. Perhaps the LGBT lobby should stop framing the argument in terms of "people are born gay" and instead frame marriage as a personal contract between individuals and remove all government involvement to include tax breaks.

  493. I prefer turn the other cheek and the golden rule.. which are much more prominent through the bible.. than obscure hard to translate passages in versions no one has ever read.

    To each their own. But attempting to tell people their personal life choices are wrong and somehow impact everyone else.. is beyond me. Most of these comments are shameful. Love, understanding, respect…. acceptance of differences… to me this is a good person and so many of you who commented here are missing that mark…

    Well +Sean Corrado you at least you attempted to debate well.. :) (since im really done with this after several hours of pointless debate.. i'll remove this to be fair to you)

    There is a 500 comment limit here.. so sorry… this will be the last post for a bit. Have a nice day/night everyone.
