I get more cautious when it comes to children. The children are not "consenting" to anything. While my conscious is clear on this issue - gay/lesbian parenting is a false model for a family - I'm not sure I would say that I would make it downright illegal in our present society anymore than I can make bad heterosexual parenting illegal. However, I would personally discourage any would be gay/lesbian parents from adopting or artificially inseminating.
I'm a bit troubled by the term "false model." To me it implies that a gay couple can't be good parents. Do you mean that implication, or simply that it strays from your "ideal" too much?
To explore "false model" a bit further, is it only the lack if opposing genders that makes it so? As far as raising children to be well adjusted, productive members of society, I can think of several factors far more important than gender.
I guess I'd like you to explain that term in a bit more detail if you could.
3) Now, to fellow Christians, I would pray that they examine their hearts and minds and ask - is this part of God's intention? Is more like the Kingdom of Heaven or the Kingdom of Pop Culture? Is this is a step forward to making earth more like God's realm - or a step back?
To me, God's pretty clear on the primacy of love over all else. Children need loving parents. As is evidenced by pac mule and countless others, they don't need one of each gender or even more than one in order to feel loved and live happy, productive lives. I think God's intention (as unknowable as that is by human hearts and minds) is not to bar children from access to the love of capable, committed and nurturing parents simply because of gender role issues.
I think, quite frankly, that God is most likely shaking his head at the obsession over homosexuality that so many of his followers can't seem to get past.
