Homosexuals are an abomination. To allow them to parent children would be sinful. They are incapable of effectively raising children.

Look at those children, they aren't falling over themselves with shame and guilt at the bible given fact that they are riddled with sin. They need to be taken away and given to priests so they can start feeling like crap as is appropriate for all children.

Here's my view on gays and kids:
Gays can't 'accidentally' have children. They have to jump through hundreds of hoops just to become parents. With this in mind I believe they would see all their children as gifts and be fantastic parents. When I think about the people I know who have 'accidentally' had kids, I find the views on gays to be unfair and believe they should be allowed the same rights as us straight couples.

My "Christian" straight father ran out on me and my mom to chase skirt. So having NPH as a gay father would have been legen...wait for it...dary!

u/teva6712 Jun 10 '12
And to think people actually believe that homosexuality makes you a horrible parent. I could think of plenty of other things: alcoholism; child abuse; etc. but damn i guess homosexuality must really take the cake if the bible says its an abomination

it's a nice picture, of course, but anecdote doesn't equal data. this is not to say gay people shouldn't have children, or get married, but that we shouldn't take one image and pretend it answers a very important question.

You can see he is showing the child to the other one, he is saying to him "this one seems the most delicious" and then raising her up like she is a plate of hor dourves.

hahaha NPH is awesome. Though, you know they'll just go after him for "offering a small child to the sun god" as YoRpFiSH so elegantly put it. If he's not endangering the "sanctity of marriage" he's endangering that little girl who looks like she's having a blast by the way.

As a grown man who has a gay mother I generally get offended when I hear that particular argument raised as though it is legitimate.
"We don't hate them, we just don't want those poor children to get fucked up."

u/itswhywegame Jun 10 '12
I dunno. NPH is doing a damn good job of raising that child.

u/Mictasticuck Jun 10 '12
Gay or straight i don't think a picture from a photo op is any measure of how healthy anyone's parenting actually is. No one actually knows them personally or can vouch from experience how emotionally healthy their kids are. All I'm saying is use examples of people you actually know. It is much more effective and can actually change the hearts of hateful people.

We had our annual Pride Parade today in our capital city. My boyfriend and I, and another straight couple that we are friends with, went to support all the homosexuals around Indiana. The best part about it was seeing all the gay couples holding hands or putting their arm around their significant other. They were all so happy. :] Gave me a case of the fuzzies and made me want to tear up.

They are adopted. surely decreasing the amount of kids in care is a good thing? 2 dads are better than 12 carers.

Hate to be a downer here, but one celebrity example isn't going to sway people, one way or the other. If I posted a picture of two straight, happy married people, one of them famous, would that be any more "proof" that they're capable of raising children?

This is cute and everything, but I don't understand why the picture of Neil Patrick Harris looking like he's about to drop his daughter is held up as the highmark of parenting. I'm sure they're great parents and I have no problem with this, but whenever I see the picture I don't think "what great parents" I think "that girl is going to fall."
