The Right still likes to cling to the idea that children of same-sex parents somehow suffer compared to nuclear families with a traditional mother and father.
But they never seem to want to hear from the children themselves.
Below, kids of gay parents share their thoughts via Whisper.
They seem like they’re doing alright to us:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

I wish these quotes had been accompanied by pictures of their posters with their parents. We need to be celebrating the love and loyalty found in these families.

Still not buying this “whisper” thing. Who actually writes these?

I have two friends who have adopted 3 boys. From everything I’ve seen they’re well adjusted kids full of life. These two guys have parties on every holidays and invite a lot of their gay friends. The kids invite their friends and everyone has a great time.

Faceless statements. I don’t approve children in a gay home. Those children didn’t have option and they’ll have to deal with this situation as his personal story for the rest of their lives. Gay people should be allowed to have children only if they were single ( lone people ). Call me what you want but I think it’s quite disgusting to force a child to be ok with a gay couple, a gay union, to call ” dad ” his two ” daddies ” and be a defender of his ” parents’ decisions “.

@Cobalt Blue: Did you chose your parents? How is it any different for children of gay couples? As long as the 2 adults are fit to be parents, meaning that they have their lives where it needs to be financially and emotionally, and they have a lot of love to give, no couple should be denied to raise a child. Actually, doesn’t even need to be a couple, can be a single person as well. But a couple is always better, independent of sexuality.

This whisper thing is stupid

Totally AGREE, these “whisper” stories are bogus and fake! They’re only posted to stir up comments (I know I am buying into the premise) and give people more “feels” and to respond. They’re obviously contrived and only meant to generate clicks.

@Cobalt Blue: “those children didn’t have option” And yet there they are, NOT leaving and LOVING it. So, what’s your point, again?

” We need to be celebrating the love and loyalty found in these families. ”
An important thing to say.
