Children are surprisingly adaptable and accepting and don't have the hang ups we adults do. It's really uncool to suppose other than having two fathers or indeed mothers a child would be confused anymore than having only one parent or a stepfather/mother or maybe 2 or even 3 step/siblings no one suggests they are confused but you can see it could very well be.
Think about what your saying, your view is based on your beliefs and whats been drummed into you by your society and parents and peers etc. It dosn't effect you as your not gay so whats the problem ? and tbh you don't have a right to judge others choice of how to live anymore than another does you.
Let me ask you few simple questions.
If your child chose to marry a different race person to you would you care and why ?
If your child grew up and chose to marry the same sex would you care and why ?
If your child grew up and chose to marry someone from a different country would you care and why ?
If your child grew up and chose to marry into a different religion would you care and why ?
And if the answer is different to any of those questions why ?
I've seen the damage that can be done by lack of one parent, I am afraid what this same sex mix could do.
As for my view, i make my own conclusions, and i manage to see good and bad in everything, whether its religion, liberalism or anything else. What really ticks me off is how people that consider themselves liberal and progressive manage to spill intolerance and hate if they see
something they don't like (not you in this example, was aiming at jarp). What happened to freedom of speech and right of a man to be a p...k if he wants to?
We all judge Vic, whether we want to admit it or not. I accepted the fact that i was, am and will be judged for what I am, and it doesn't bother me, in fact i encourage it, although it may be offensive for me I am glad that people are taking a stand no matter is it right or wrong, hateful or not. In fact in several local pubs in London i heard people commenting on me assuming i don't know English. Comments were mainly "fookin polish", i only smiled at that, for two reasons, first i am not polish
and second, i am glad that someone makes attempt to think with its own head, even if it gets him to bunch of wrong and hateful conclusions. Never wanted to live in jehovah witnesses brochure.
As for questions:
1. Honestly, have no idea, not much different races here, so it never crossed my mind. While i was in England one my best mates was Nepalese if that helps you.
2. It would bother me, a great deal. I am traditional guy, I believe in some order of things. Not sure how could explain why is that more closely.
3. Wouldn't approve it, but would accept his/hers decision except i would be opposed to a marriage between balkan nations, s...t will hit the fan here again sooner or later, and that would complicate things.. During this balkan wars a lot of marriages fell apart due to different nation or religion. And in many cases clash of different cultures is a good recipe for a divorce. Don't want that for my child.
4. Mainly same answer and same reasons as the previous one.
Now if i can ask you a few
Do you see people of different nationalities/races in your country as equals?
How many of those people are your close friends (you visit each other, go out to drink etc.)?
What's your first thought when you see an immigrant working on some building site?
