>> Homosexuality does not necessarily include pedophilia, just as heterosexuality
>> doesn't. However some homosexuals are pedophiles, just as some heterosexuals
>> are. There are several concerns that I acknowledge in the
homosexuals-raising-children debate
- The possibility that homosexual men may be more inclined to pedophilia
than heterosexual men. I think that pedophiles have bits of their head
missing, and I fair proportion of the homosexuals I have met I would say have
had bits of their head missing.
- The possibility that homosexuals will attempt to enforce damaging
ideologies onto children, such as
- try to make them homosexual because they think it's best for them. I've
met gays who have insisted that homosexuality is the normal state of affairs,
and that heterosexuals are unnatural and in denial. (Admittedly this is a
two-edged sword - damage is done by homophobic parents raising a gay child, but
with only 3% of the population gay, a random child will probably be straight,
so the heterosexual option will work better).
- try to make them recognize gender issues that don't exist. Look around at
the number of young men who don't even talk to their feminist mothers, and you
will see what I mean.
I wouldn't trust any studies done to support or refute any of these
concerns. It is simply not possible to study these things in an objective way. And I'm not actually saying that I believe any of the concerns above - just
that they are significant concerns. The best solution to this within Australia is to privatize adoption, and
give adoption agencies the right to ask parents: "Do you want your children to
be adopted by a heterosexual or homosexual couple?". The solution for overseas orphans who have no-one to make that decision for
them is far more difficult. But it's hard to imagine that starving to death in
an African orphanage would be better than taking the risk being raised by a
pair of paid-up homo's living in Australia with a clear police record.
