Canuck kid gets three parents
Oh Canada.
I have so many offensive and offcolor jokes going through my head about this that they are all cancelling each other out and i'm left with seriousness. it's a strange feeling.
anyway. i think this is a great advance. i hope U.S.A. does the same someday.
still i get images of cults where 50 people are all parents of one single child. and they raise him to be some super serial killer or something.

My half-brother was eventually raised by his lesbian mother, and he came out fine, and very heterosexual.
The Makeout Hobo is real, and does indeed travel around the country in his van and make out with ladies... If you meet him, it is customary to greet him with a shot of whiskey and a high five (if you are a dude) or passionate makeouts (if you are a lady).

Because you'd be embarrased or because you don't think you'd have been raised properly?I don't know about you, but I'm glad my parents aren't gay. I couldn't imagine growing up like that.So the new couple of a divorced/separated mother gets parental status over her child. And?
What's so new about it?
Only that the mother's new couple is another woman.
Well, i'll tell you about me: i am glad my parents raised me with love and moral values, and being able to provide me what i needed, but without giving me more than it would be good for me.I don't know about you, but I'm glad my parents aren't gay. I couldn't imagine growing up like that.
When two parents give me that, i don't see myself fit to judge them. No matter if they are gay or illegal immigrants or government ministers.
I will also tell you that gay people were usually raised by heterosexual couples. So it's hard to see why a homosexual couple would raise homosexual children. Of course, they would grow up considering homosexuals to be normal people.
Honestly, i don't think this is bad. At all.
Neither. Any child raised with love and care will turn out well. What do you think kids at his/her school would say? Maybe the child will get lucky and be placed in a good school, but maybe the kid would be very unlucky.Because you'd be embarrased or because you don't think you'd have been raised properly?
I wasn't judging the parents, or gays, or anything like that. I just remember my childhood, and how kids pick on people for no reason at all, let alone when they can find something for leverage.
And is the suffering any less because they pick on you for no reason at all than when they find a "reason"?I wasn't judging the parents, or gays, or anything like that.

Children who aren't bullies will be picked on. School is like that, there are 2 sides: bullies and victims.

There is always a weapon. If it's not about your parents, it's about your name - first or last. If it's not about your name, it's about some aspect of your appearance. If it's not about how you look, it's about the way you wiggle your butt when you walk. If it's not about the way you walk, it's about the way you dress.
Kids will always bully other kids about something, gay parent or no.
So your point is pretty much moo.

You mean "moot"? I've never heard of a "moo" point. ... Unless it's about a cow... Then they're all moo points.
Anyway, I agree with Helen completely. I was tormented in school for no reason at all. I moved here from California, so I guess that's as good a reason as any. But past grade school, there was no reason to tease me about that. So they thought of other things. I didn't look right, I didn't have the right friends, whatever. The point is, no matter who you are or what your family is like, kids a horrible little monsters that live to destroy the self-esteem of every other child they can, and girls are the worst.
... Sorry. Just a little tirade. Don't mind me!

Step one, take off your shirt. Step two ... Step three, PROFIT!
It would be a hard fight, but one worth fighting. There's a girl in my grade (11th) who has two moms. She's embarrassed about it, not surprisingly, but she even went as far as to tell one of her moms to call the school administration and make them only put one of her mother's names in the school directory. (I know because my mom is the school administration).I don't know about you, but I'm glad my parents aren't gay. I couldn't imagine growing up like that.
Frankly, this enraged me. I can imagine that she's embarrassed. Of course she is. But you would imagine that by age 16, she would be able to get over the embarrassment and start being proud of her family (she loves them, doesn't she?)
I mean, it's not like she has to shout it out to the world. I just think it's ridiculous to go to extreme steps to make sure no one knows she has two moms.
And she's not in any danger, either. My school is very accepting of gay people. We've had a GSA for many, many years. There's no violence at my school. I can't think of any of her friends who would like her any less for having gay parents.
Whatever. Just thought I'd share that perspective.

infamous Friends reference.
you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant
