i've never had a problem with gay people. . .known quite a few over the years. . .one of my cousins (a girl) is gay. . .people are what they are. . .i'll admit, i do have reservations about gay couples having/adopting kids. . .don't get me wrong, if a kid has a good home with loving parents, i'm sure that's all that matters. . .i guess i am a little old-school though, and the concept just seems. . .i don't know. . .odd?? with all the confusion of finding your way through puberty and adolescence, if the kid isn't gay but the parents are, how do they (the gay parents) relate to some of the opposite-sex issues and heterosexual issues that a straight kid goes through?? it's like a priest, whose never been married, trying to understand and give advice on marriage. . .unless you've lived it, how the hell can you give good advice?? i'm not saying it's impossible, it just seems like it would be damn difficult. i guess it's no different than a white couple adopting a black child. . .there's a certain "black experience" in this country that most white people have no clue about. . .yeah. . .they watch the news. . .sure they've seen the civil rights movements. . .but, i think most black people would agree that "seeing" and "studying" an experience doesn't even remotely compare to "living" it. . .
