Gay marriages and my views.
There are always strong opinions when we hear about this issue. My take on this is simple. we need to respect individual freedom. No doubt. If someone wants to be in a gay relation, it’s entirely up to him or her. However, I strongly oppose when it comes to gay couple adopting kids. Whatever they are doing as individuals is their problem but they shouldn’t bring up a kid in a confused mental state. My son was saying, it would turn out like this, a kid born of Hindu parents/Christian parents etc would turn out to be a Hindu or Christian etc ,under normal circumstances .Similarly the kids growing up with a gay couple could also turn up to be gays, by chance , by circumstances ,which I feel is unacceptable. They could get confused with what we think is normal as abnormal. I believe in freedom, but when it comes to kids, I am willing to draw a line, and say that they should be let to live normal lives and decide what they want to be when they are old enough to do so.

I would have had the same views as you regarding gay people having kids. However, we have some very good friends - two gay men who are a couple - who are bringing up two daughters, now aged around 18 and 16. They are a wonderful family, and the girls are just terrific - well adjusted, happy, bright, as "normal" as can be. And full credit for that goes to how their fathers brought them up, while being totally open and honest about their "gayness" This family is happier and better adjusted than many "normal" families I have come across. Of course, it helped them tremendously that they surrounded themselves with hugely supportive friends and family who were a strong buttress against any societal slings and arrows that might have come their way.
cool,kamini,you are talking from very personal point of view.i appreciate your sharing this,thanks.:)
