California Democrats want to increase the number of parents a child can have. SB 1476 would allow a child to have more than two parents at the same time in order to accommodate same-sex parents, surrogates, assisted reproduction, and other non-traditional parental relationships.
SacBee.com reports:
"The bill brings California into the 21st century, recognizing that there are more than Ozzie and Harriet families today," Leno said. But some disagree. "It comes as no surprise that he would try to say that a child has more than two parents – that's absurd," said Benjamin Lopez, a legislative analyst for Traditional Values Coalition, a Bible-based civil rights group.
SacBee points out potential problems and complexities caused by SB 1476:
Examples of three-parent relationships that could be affected by SB 1476 include: 1) A family in which a man began dating a woman while she was pregnant, then raised that child with her for seven years. The youth also had a parental relationship with the biological father. 2) A same-sex couple who asked a close male friend to help them conceive, then decided that all three would raise the child. 3) A divorce in which a woman and her second husband were the legal parents of a child, but the biological father maintained close ties as well. How do you feel about the proposed bill?
SacBee.com reports:
Mom and Dad, same-sex couples or blended families, California law is clear: No more than two legal parents per child. State Sen. Mark Leno is pushing legislation to allow a child to have multiple parents.

Tax deductions, citizenship, probate, public assistance, school notifications and Social Security rights all can be affected by determinations of parenthood, notes the Association of Certified Family Law Specialists.

My point is that blood doesn't make you a parent. If someone asks my husband today who is parents are he would say his grandparents. Children need more than two people in their lives, the old tale of it taking a village to raise a child is true. Children need all the love and support they can get and it does take more than biological parents, so if California wants to recognize more than two parents legally its a great thing. because the others need to be recognized as well as the biological parents.
Group marriages and sexdoll marriages are next.
Homosexual parents are notorious for instilling their learned behavior into their adopted children at young ages.
Children raised by homosexual couples are 7 times more likely to be homosexual, tell me it's not learned behavior.

A lot of children raised by a homosexual are homosexual. But you know what? This is nothing for YOU to worry about. If your kid turns out homosexual what would you do?
I would teach mine it is an abomination against God and a psycological disorder.
It's not going to happen in my household.
There is nothing wrong with loving someone of the same sex, I love my father for example, but some how I don't think you are talking about endearing love. You are just talking about sex.
"Children are taken away from psych patients every day of the week."
And...? Your point is? It does not matter who the parents are, or what their parent's genders are. It depends on who the child is, and what the parents do towards the child.
NOW, did you know, that God, will let you love whoever you will love?
hmmm no.
Romans 1:26
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
1 Timothy 1:8–10
What you are talking about is straight up sex.
This is what the bible has to say about love.
http://www.godandscience.org/...
And I'm not reading ANYTHING from the Bible. It's a waste of pages.
No. I know what I am talking about. I am talking about LOVING someone for who they are, not for how well they give a nice fingering (in fact I've not really done that stuff). I am talking about loving someone for how they treat YOU. And that connection where we just.... "click" (sounds cheesy, I know).
Do not presume to tell me what I know is wrong to be ok with God and then turn around and say you don't care about him.
Your God is a figment of your imagination, and you change him to suit your needs.
And you can't have it both ways, either someone is "stuck" being gay, or a straight person just "clicks" with someone of the same sex.
Which is it?
You cannot tell me what gender I need to "click" with. You may, but I will not listen. I would stick with being "stuck" with my girlfriend any day. You don't know what it is like loving someone of the same sex. What it is like? It is the same as loving someone the opposite gender of you. Except loving someone the same sex has given me pain. Has given bullies to me. Has put me through hell and back. But did you know something? It's actually worth it. If I loved a man as much as I loved my girlfriend, I would go through hell and back for them too.
I've done all I can.
