Is it normal that I wish I was born to gay dads?

I feel that a child needs 2 parents. 2 GOOD parents. 2 GOOD, CONSISTENT AND LOVING PARENTS. Not bashing single parents here, but a child often has a better chance to thrive in a home with two loving parents.

That being said, while I feel that children of gay parents have many advantages, they will also deal with the social stigma of having a gay couple as parents, whether it be from religious bigots or just plain bigots.

I believe that stigmatising, outcasting and berating a group of individuals was not what Jesus had in mind when he said to "show your love for my by showing your love for my children". It sickens me but if you were in that position, your life would be filled with criticism and stigma. Hopefully, one day, people will see that children need to two parents, and two loving parents, regardless of their gender.

If you've two parents who love and care for you then you are lucky. Their sexual orientation shouldn't really effect how good they are at parenting. It's true that gays might make better parents because they "choose" to be parents, but many heterosexual couples also make that choice. And even if the child was conceived by accident, the hethro parents could still love the child unconditionally.

It's not really fair to claim one couple could be better than the other based on whether they're gay or straight.

Sometimes, I wish I had gay parents. I think my life would probably be different for the better and more relaxed and understanding.

Read this. And yeah i think it would improve a child.

I'd give anything to have a totally functional family.
Why would your life be better? You'd be made fun of constantly for something that you didn't choose and something that isn't your fault.
And how would they be less annoying than a mother and a father? Generally when two gay guys are together, one acts like a female and one acts like a male. So, you'd still most likely have a "woman" and a man as parents.

I don't know if it's normal but it's interesting that you feel that way. But I agree with Moe, in most gay relationships there's a "husband" and a "wife."

Btw Moe your name reminds me of the Three Stooges, haha:)

I think most people at some point would have wished or even just wondered what their life would be like if they had different parents. Technically speaking though, you can only be raised by two dads, you can't be born to them.

I have thought about how cool that could be before myself! It would be a different take on childhood for sure!

I know this kid who was adopted by men, and now has four fathers. He is at the top of my [distrusting/cynical/sneaky] list.

Eh.

Just be thankful for what you have. Many people wish they could have what you already have. All parents are annoying, but we still love them and they love us.

If you have a pretty good life and a fully functional family who loves you, why would you wish for anything better? Why would you wish to be brought up someone else?

You are the strangest man on earth
