Pam….I invite you to have supper with me and my family one evening so you can observe what you describe as “the disintegration of family values” first-hand. I can assure you that our family is just as socially, emotionally, and intellectually healthy as any family unit you may approve of. Feel free to give me a call so we can schedule a time for you to come over and see for yourself. My significant other and all four of my children would love to meet you.

I can’t think of anything worse for a child than to be raised in a home with tasteful furnishings.

I just want say I am an aunt of four beautiful kids adopted by my little brother and his significant other (my other brother). They are a loving family and very well adjusted. All I can say is Gaty Tapp and the rest of Kentucky needs to get a clue.

The real world, if people will just look ,is that these kids need good stable adults who will be there for and love tham no matter what. I was married for 28 years and got took abuse to give my son the best. He is now A graduate of Bellarmine University and living on his own and very well adjusted. And that is with the help of my Brother’s. I am now Divorced and they support my decision and know I’m Happy.

A marriage certifacate can’t garentee that you will be good parent. It also can’t keep you from being abused emotionally or Physically.

Gay is the new black.

People want to say that KY SB68 is the best thing for the interest of children who may be placed in the care of two gay adults. Because there is nothing worse than being placed in the care of the gays. And I have been trying to explain that to the three women I know who were sexually molested by their heterosexual fathers, and I think maybe they might actually disagree with me.

Pam, if you think most of these comments are mean spirited, you need to get a reality check yourself. I know Mr. Gatewood personally and I can tell you his integrity is of the very highest level. The fact the he and his partner adopted a special needs child says alot about their character.

This legislation is cookie cutter legislation put together by the American Family Association. If you look at their website, you will find they are little about family and more about denying gays and lesbians ANY rights. They are the ones with an agenda.

As for mean, try living in my shoes for 24 hours. Have someone hurl insults at you for no reason other than you’re gay, “FAGGOT!’ Listen to people snicker behind your back and make derogotory comments. Watch people pull their children away because some gay person is in the vicinity. I didn’t choose this life. I was born this way. I am not an abomination. I am not a molester. I am a fellow human being who happens to be different.

I am no longer going to sit idly by and allow my rights to be trampled by some idiot who thinks I’m a freak. No, I AM MAD AS HELL AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!

I have been a parent for 34 years have parented 2 birth children and over 47 foster children along with 8 of the special needs adopted children we have. I have over 700 hours of continued education through the State of Kentucky, EKU, UK and Murray. Trust me when I say this….. and I voted for this man!!!! HE DOES NOT THE FACTS REGARDING CHILDREN!!!!!!. There are over 5,000 children in care in KY. over 2500 of these children do not have permit homes. I don’t see him stepping up to the plate to parent any of these children. He has never gone through training to become a parent that is able to deal with any need of any child.
I came from a two parent home and my birth children were born into a two parent home. THE KIND he thinks works…..WRONG. That does not garrentee anything. My parent divorced. I divorced! And the parent I am today is different than the parent I was in that marriage. I am happily married now for 24 years, but that doesn’t promise anything to a child if there is not consistancy. Children need someone they can count on. EVERYDAY!!! And that have not a thing to do with gender or marriage or religion or a piece of paper making it legal.
It drives me crazy when someone like him thinks they know what is best for a child who has never walk in the shoes of that child much less parented a child with special needs….. and all these children become special need children the moment they enter the SYSTEM.
Get the facts before you speak that way you can speak with intellegence!!!!!

it makes me sad that a bill like this could be passed. just because your married dose not mean you will be a good parent, a good parent is someone who loves their child above all things, someone who would give their life for their child, someone who would provide the best life possible for their child and love them for who they are.

The Golden Rule, treat others as you would want to be treated.

everyone is entitled to their opinion, but to judge people for what ever reason is not fair, to take away some one who has the potionial to be a good parent is not fair

just because your straight dosnt mean your a good person, nor dose being gay. its who are you as a person and how you treat others that determins weather your good or bad.
