Slow news day or me taking a chance to talk about how this is not about how "inappropriate" the ad is but it's about parents who are too lazy to explain stuff to their kids or just plain gay?

I report you decide.

People in this modern world still don't know about gay relationships or Americans do not have a sense of humour? I'm not entirely clear.

Seriously, this is ridiculous. Are people afraid if they tell their kids about same sex relationships it will make them gay?! Some people are still so undereducated about homosexuality.

I have plenty of close gay friends and some of them are married so my children will be fully aware of the diversity of relationships from an early age.

Grrr, gonna stop writing about this before it starts getting me annoyed.

I would rather not comment but I am tempted to.

Gay relationships are out of the ordinary of "life" as I believe it. It wont really fulfill the meaning of life. If it did, only same sex would have been there. and there wouldn't be a need for sexual reproduction as well. the complicated system for and the two types of each species wouldnt have been there if not.

Gay relationships also bring about the problems in children. A very important thing that everyone seems to be forgetting. As a child, when he/she grows up, if the kid is supposed to have gay parents, what would the kid feel when he/she see's other kids with "normal" parents? A fully functioning family that constitutes of a male and female alone could bring up a child who could be a great asset to the community. Even today, we see a lot of kids having problems when it concerns with single parents. These problems will only increase in the future if families with "gay parents" are to increase.

The natural order of things are changing. i dont respect that. However, I respect the feelings of gay people, as they have their own rights. However, I wont tolerate or teach my children about gay relationships.

Just my thoughts. I know many of you will think of me as "undereducated" or "uncivil". However, its just my beliefs that lead me to think and stand firm on what I believe.

You're right Real And it's NOT normal for a children to see two men or two woman kissing on television

RealOne and Tamarro are tempting me to do a quote-by-quote reply.

Personally I'd go with the science which says individual parenting skills are more important than sexual orientation.

P-X, go for it. I'm interested to know yours, as well as others thoughts on this topic.

about what u said, about individual parenting skills being more important than sexual orientation. I dont disagree to what you say.

But, my point is what would and how would the kid feel or how would it affect the kid Psychologically when the kid realize or know that their parents are gay parents and not real mom or dad, where infact, it would be a mum and mum or dad and dad. how would u feel if you had parents like that? I know that some would resort to calling mum to one and dad to other parent. But sooner or later the kid would understand what the differences in gender is, and it may cause psychological problems that may ultimately lead to wrong doings and violence.

I fear that these kind of issues would contribute to great problems later on in the future.

There are some reality shows here featuring kids being raised by gay or lesbian couples, most of them call both their parents "mom" or "dad" and they don't seem to think much of it, gay and lesbian couples are quite unlikely to have kids naturally so they adopt kids who would otherwise have to grow up in orphanages or some equivalent, so all in all it's still better than being raised without parents at all.

I don't think it would lead to violence and wrong doings, so far the research has been pointing to the individual couples conducts being a much bigger factor than sexual orientation, couples who fight leads to much more trouble generally starting with one of them not understanding the other mostly due to gender differences, most gay couples don't tend to have fights as often and tend to understand each other better since they are the same gender.

Gay couples are also probably more willing to explain this kind of stuff to their kids so they aren't as confused about seeing two guys holding hands in public compared to most straight couples who are never expecting such questions that their kids inevitably asks.

Who would've thought that a thread about two guys kissing out over some mayo on TV would end up with me typing such a large post.

edit:
Here's the video in question:

not such a bad ad. it was humorous.

I agree to most points P-X has raised. Like kids being better off with gays or lesbians rather than an orphanage. But thats not the only case. Many seek out new methods of getting kids. such as sperm donors. etc. that is well ofcourse for lesbians. gays dont have any option other than having to go for adoption. that is AFAIK. and this is where many problems will actually arise. I'm not talking about kids that are adopted. more like kids that are given birth by lesbians with help of donor sperms, or various other methods.

in any case, i'd rather stop debating on this topic than get more people against me.

I'd compare lesbian couples with single moms except without the one major flaw of not being able to pay attention to the kid/s all the time because "mom is working".
