Nothing worse ‘than being brought up by two gay dads’

Sounds like this guy has self-hatred issues. Perhaps trying to blame homosexuality for why his career went down the drain.

 

Yeah, quite possibly a little bit of self-hatred , I think. It also sounds as though he's just a tad bitter that his career has been hurt by coming out. Now he's turned against himself, the LGBT community, and the entire film industry.

Perhaps he should have weighed things more judiciously before coming out...

 

Is there any proof that coming out is really why his career is in bad shape? There are plenty of talented people out there who are openly gay and successful, and don't get bitter and whine that being LGBTQ hurt their career.

 

This boggles my mind because it's like, physically two gay dads can't have a kid. I mean they can through surrogacy or IVF, but otherwise they adopt and not add to the world population....so it's like you know how dumb you sound right Rupert?

 

There are worse things in the world than someone raised by two dads... have you ever seen Michelle Bachmann? There is a reason her foster children rarely stayed more then 2-3 months...

 

Leave him alone guys, he's perfectly valid to his own opinion you know!

He says in the article he isn't speaking on behalf of the gay community and that it is merely his own opinion.

We are still entitled to our own opinions in this country.

 

This guy came out twenty years ago.

Homophobia today, pales in the shaddows of yesterday's homophobia twenty years ago.

 

Objectively, it's single parents that are far worse. I've seen many more studies that decry single-parent families than I ever have seen with gay families. Use common sense; is it worse not having a homemaker in the family at all, or is it worse if that homemaker is the "wrong" gender?

At the very worst, you can only argue that there isn't much understood about gay parents. This man is just being a dick. "Nothing worse than two dads"? I'd love to see studies on how fundamentalist children turn out.

 

Idk, I think being brought up by a T-Rex might be pretty terrible. Such tiny arms, how are you supposed to hug your kid with those?

 

Ellen came out 15 years ago, and she is doing quite well now. Elton John came out even before Everett.

Things might not have been so rosy 20 years ago, but c'mon, it's not like we're talking about the 1950s where coming out really meant the end of your career and total ostracism from society.

It sounds like this guy just wants to blame his sexuality for his personal failures.

I think he is wrong to say he can't think of anything worse. Of course there are worse things.
But as for a child being brought up with a mother and father i do myself think this is better for the child. I'm not saying they wont have a healthily and fulfilling life but they 4 kids I've ever went to school with brought up by same sex parents had to go from school to school cause the bulling was so bad. People just by passed these kids like the fact they have same sex parents justifies them being bullied. Even teachers didn't protect them as they were religious and thought this was a sin anyway so why should they do anything.
I know this won't be the case for everyone but after seeing that happen where i live it defiantly changes my opinion on it. Its unfair for the child to be treated in this way for something they have no decision on.

 

that's only disadvantageous because of prejudice. Allowing it to happen like that furthers the prejudice. Resigning one's self to the fact that it's just a fact of life that a child of same-sex parents will endure hardship at the hands of their peers is to lend the prejudiced assholes credence they do not deserve. It should be fought tooth and nail, not acknowledged as a fact of life.

I never look at it that way but i guess your right. And it is something that need tackling rather than by passing.
But personally i wouldn't have children with another man say because i would be in fear of it happening to my child. But unless there is people in this position awareness won't be raised and it won't stop.

 

Gay couples are now some of the biggest adopters. Critics argue that it gives minority children a chance in the world.

 

i am disappointed that public prejudice has pressured you out of pursuing a family life. Disappointed in society that is, not you.
