Finally! Doctors who aren't too brainwashed to see
That homosexuals raising children is not morally equivalent to a heterosexual married couple.
Homosexuals should not be allowed to adopt children, either alone or with a partner. Lesbians should not be legally allowed to inseminate themselves and subject their offspring to their perverse lifestyle. There are plenty of ways to lie and get around laws like that, but they should have to work hard and be doing something criminal --- society should not sanction homosexuality as a legitimate choice.
I have personally watched my own cousin (a middle aged lesbian with a long-term partner) give birth to a little boy (through donor sperm) and he is miserable without a father. My cousin was stupid and selfish enough to think that pushing him into male-oriented activities and having a coach would make up for having no father figure, and the poor kid has resorted to hypermasculine idiocy (drugs, petty vandalism, acting out in school) in order to find any male identity.
Homosexuals are not all evil people and they should be tolerated, but that doesn't mean they should get to ruin children's lives, at least not legally.

Hey Jessica!
What about all of the heterosexual married parents that "ruin" their kids lives everyday? What should we do about them? Emotionally unavailable fathers, controlling mothers, overbearing sports-dads, germaphobic moms, workaholic daddies, depressed mommies...the list goes on and on. I'm sure for every one "raised by gays" kid that you bring up as example, I can find you 10 "raised by heteros" kids that are just as messed up. And of course it's ALWAYS their parents fault.

Ruining people's lives
Jessica wrote: "Homosexuals are not all evil people and they should be tolerated, but that doesn't mean they should get to ruin children's lives, at least not legally."
But it is okay for heterosexual bigots to ruin the lives of homosexuals, right, Jess? Nice of you to allow that homosexuals ought to be "tolerated." However, in my experience, homosexuals don't care about being tolerated by people like you. They just want people like you, Jess, to butt the hell out of their lives and let them make their own decisions, just as all the other citizens of this republic are entitled to do.

Cal. domestic partnerships?
I thought that California domestic partnerships now carried with them all the rights of marriage under state law. So, since this is in the Cali. courts, shouldn't a partnership be considered legally equivalent to marriage in this case?
Of course, the couple in question may not be domestically partnered, I suppose. Or perhaps its a retroactive thing (i.e. the actions in question happened before the partnership law went into effect). But it would be interesting to see how future cases like this will go down for domestic partners. I guess the central question is: does the partnership law mean that only the *government* needs to treat domestic partnerships the same way it treats marriages, or that private individuals and companies cannot distinguish between the two either?

Gay people should not be able to adopt.
The fact that many heterosexuals are not shining examples of parenthood does not justify allowing people deliberately engaged in an unnatural lifestyle to "do whatever they want" at the expense of children. Emotionally unavailable fathers and overcontrolling mothers are a normal part of life, which is often unfair --- but being raised by two people who are sexually deviant in such a profound and systemic manner is definitely outside the range of the normal spectrum of unfair life experiences. Since they can't naturally have their own children, they need to go through other channels and it is not a universal human right to buy/adopt/create a child. It should not be allowed primarily because it hurts children and exposes them to possible harm, but also to send the message that the majority of Americans agree with: tolerating a minority doesn't mean condoning their behavior and indulging their every whim.
I'm not too worried though. Thanks to the gay activists pushing their disgusting agenda so shrilly and so hard, they are generating a huge backlash against them (note all the anti-gay-marriage ammendments that recently passed) among ordinary people who otherwise would not have cared too much.

You like anecdotal evidence, Jessica?
You say "homosexuals raising children is not morally equivalent to a heterosexual married couple". I have to agree. Because some studies, as well as good old anecdotal evidence, shows that the lagest majority of child molestation cases are by straight fathers against their own daughters.
So you're correct, homosexuals parents aren't morally equivalent to heterosexual ones. Sometimes they're much better.

Dear Jessica,
I couldn't agree more. Everyone should base whether or not a whole class of people are fit to be parents based on their limited exposure to one or two anecotal examples. I think that is a fabulous idea.
There are some Latino people down the street from me and their kids don't seem happy not being raised like ordinary white people, they don't speak English well enough, so I don't think they should have the right to have children. There are also some Jews whose kids don't who are being robbed of being part of the majority, those poor kids should be given to a nice Christian couple. (C'mon, this is a Christian nation after all. It is unfair to the children to raise them in a non-Christian home!) Actually, I think all families should fit a certain mold, they should only look and act a certain way, otherwise they get their kids taken from them by the government. After all, all those words about freedom in the constitution don't apply to people that I don't like!
Jessica, sorry for whatever experience made you hate gay people so much, but I don't advocate that people like you shouldn't have the righ to breed so I'd appreciate if you leave me and my family alone. To each their own.

You really don't seem to be in a good position to judge the parenting or the happiness of your lesbian cousin's family. Your bias against the "sexually deviant" is far too strong for you to be a good judge of anything having to do with her family. Clearly you'd think the worst even if her kids were happy and well-adjusted because you don't believe that gay parents can be good parents or that their kids can be happy. I certainly hope she doesn't let you anywhere near those kids, you're pure toxic energy.
