Why Would Gays Want Children?

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


In our culture we don't think about our actions from the viewpoint of the One who created us. Rather we obsess about our rights to do what we want, how we want, and as often as we want.

But children are never about what we want. Raising them is about supplying what they need. Britney Spears does no one a service when she gets pregnant on the cheap in a marriage that doesn't last only to end up not providing a father for her children while flashing her nether region for paparazzi. Like wise how moral is it for Mary Cheney to bring a child into society who from the outcome is told that her second mommy is the equivalent of a true father?

There is a reason for homosexual activists to have kids; it is part of the great deception that no one is to question. By having children in the picture the attempt to complete the circle and to convince the world that such a family unit is normal is all important.

Since we do not live in a theocracy it is unreasonable to maintain that Americans will not all make the same choice when it comes to morality and sexual behavior. However that reality has nothing whatsoever to do with whether sexual behavior should be considered moral that extends beyond moral boundaries.

And since homosexuals insist upon desiring limitless sexual activity, not governed by provincial rules and traditions, why would they want children?

Children are the undeniable product of the superiority of heterosexual engagement. And since homosexual behavior in large terms wishes to throw off the weight of conventional sexuality, I am curious as to why they would desire to reinforce the inferiority of their sexual behavior.

And no amount of hate-mail from small minded radical activists will stifle the curiosity from which I seek to learn.

If nature is what drags people to want children, is that what draws like genders together?

Please provide evidence outside of emotion to prove the point...


Just thank nature.
I think one of the reasons McCullough gets a lot of hate mail is because he insists on inserting insults into what might otherwise be a thoughtful argument.

As for the substance of his column, I think his argument jumps the tracks before leaving the station.

Consider his opener:

"Is there a more obvious product of heterosexual behavior than the creation of children? If so then isn't it somewhat peculiar that those who shun the behavior of heterosexuality so deeply crave the product that it brings?"

If McCullough believes that homosexuality is about shunning heterosexuality, then McCullough will never find the answer to why a gay couple might want children. In fact, if this is what McCullough truly believes, he must be told that this belief will prevent him from ever understanding anything about homosexuality.

The maddeningly simple answer to McCullough's question is that gay couples want children for the same reasons straight couples want children. The specific reasons vary with the couple, but they are nevertheless the same. There is no need to complicate this at all.

The problem with McCullough is that he wants to merge two separate natural drives:

1.) The drive that directs us toward another person, which sometimes leads to an intimate relationship.

2.) The drive that causes us to desire a family.

Since sexual orientation does not interfere with either of these drives, it is only natural that gays would want to find a partner and create a family. Period.

McCullough may argue that gays should not start families, but there really is no point in conjuring up complicated explanations for why they would want to do so. No politics here folks. Just thank nature.
