Of course. Some families have an infrastructure much stronger than others and, fortunately, my family falls in a category of superiority.
Okay, I've been trying to resist this for days, but I just can't anymore.
Your family has a "strong infrastructure" but yet you say they would somehow seek your death if you decided you were someone they don't want you to be?
Because this is the claim you made:
Quote:
f one day I came home and told my parents I were gay, they would either:
A) Have someone kill me.
B) Disown me.
C) Kill me themselves.
And that seems
superior to you somehow, that your parents would rather see you dead than see you be something they don't like? That seems to you to be a "strong infrastructure?"
Quote:
Expectations are a powerful thing. I was raised in a way to uphold every family value I was taught,
And one "family value" that you were taught it making the life of someone whose parents are different than yours a misery, as you have already confessed that to do so would be your inclination, as quoted here:
Quote:
Hell, back in my teenage days if I ever met someone who had gay parents, you'd bet your *** I'd make fun of him/her for living in a f'ucked up environment.
This seems to you an upright example of "family values"?
Quote:
to keep my parent's legacy and to portray myself as respectable and admirable citizen.
Okay...just to be sure we're clear here. Your parent's "legacy" and "being a respectable citizen" includes:
1) Intolerance
2) Seeking the death of one's offspring for doing something they find intolerable
3) Bullying and verbal harassment of those whose families do something you find intolerable
4) An undeserved sense of moral superiority
Did I miss anything?

Most families lack this ideology therefore why the ascribed social boundaries are kept intact.
Indeed, you are right. Social boundaries are DEFINITELY kept intact because most families lack the "ideology" of yours. Glad we agree on that.

It's black or white issue.
No, it's not. "Black and white" is the only issue that is "black and white." But keep deluding yourself.

Some things are natural while others aren't. Having two homosexuals raise a child is definitely not one of them.
Consider for a moment that the book that started this discussion is about two animals of the same sex took it upon themselves to behave like a mating couple and raise an adopted youngster together. Unless you are saying that something an animal instinctually does, behavior which is FOUND IN NATURE, is somehow not natural, then the idea that a same-sex couple can adopt offspring is, indeed, "natural" because it is, after all, found repeatedly in nature.
Quote:
It's already hard to respect them for propagating the idea that having sex with the same species is okay and now they want the right to adopt children?
You know, about a hundred years ago, it was illegal in my state for a white woman to marry a "Chinaman." People thought it was "unnatural" to marry someone not of your own race. Then, someone "propogated the idea" that interracial marriage is okay. As a result, I am the wife of a half-Japanese/half-Caucasian man. Golly, we can even adopt a child if we want! On nos! That child might be made fun of because her parents are different races! Is that a reason to leave the kid in a state home?
I bet there were a lot of people that once didn't "respect" those who said that interracial marriage was okay...but that's all right. I find the "respect" of bigots doesn't matter all that much.

What the f'uck are they going to be asking for next? Discounts for tickets at the theater?
Are they being denied discount tickets on account of their sexuality while straight couples are receiving the aforementioned tickets with no question asked? Then why the hell wouldn't they?
