You feel it's part of our nature. Ok, sure. But how other people raise their kids, and particularly how other people are allowed to live and raise their kids, shouldn't be based on your personal feelings.
You haven't presented evidence that children need the environment you're describing, you've just stated that it seems that way to you. That's good enough for you to form an opinion about how you'd like to live your life. You can live your life however you like. But when it comes to what other people are allowed to do, we really need more than your personal reckoning and experience. My experience, incidentally, is different. My mom was more stern than my dad when I was growing up. The same is true in many families. It just varies from family to family and from parent to parent.
Even if it were more difficult to raise a child in a same sex marriage, so what? There are a lot of things that can present challenges in raising children, but that doesn't mean that people who they apply to shouldn't be allowed to get married or have kids. I'm physically disabled, and that will affect how I'm able to raise my kids, when I have them. Some things will be different and, at times, harder. Should I not be allowed to have kids, or even marry? It can be challenging for older people to raise children, as well as people who already have many children. Should they not be allowed to marry or have children?
In the end, it's really none of your business. It's not your marriage, it's not your children, and it's not your job to judge based on what conditions you consider ideal. Let people decide what's best for them.
You're right, I don't think I was being fair. I used the word against, which I am not, I am just not for, maybe therefore that means I am against, but right now I am just not ready to support something that I don't know about. I talk about gender identity a lot and I'm glad you've pointed me out because now I really want to do the research and see if one truly affects the other.
I just want to make myself clear though. I don't want to deny others happiness but my personal confusion might surely be doing that. I don't want to lead people down the wrong path and I'm sorry. I'll take some time to think about it.
Is it normal to be so infuriated and sad over this?
