I am catholic and have been raised in a catholic church for many years and my church doesn't support gay rights. I do this thing called questioning my faith because i am using common sense. I believe that people have a right to marry who they love. Why is this even a debate? Why do people have a problem with others loving one another when it doesn't affect them in any way? I depend more on what my heart believes then what PEOPLE on EARTH say because the words could be changed. Jesus might have said something completely different than what the bible says. We never know. Sorry if that makes me a bad catholic but that's what i believe.

Amen. Thank you for clarifying what i was trying to for many years.

Being gay doesn't mean that they are the only people influencing the child's life. There might be aunts/uncles/grandparents of the opposite gender. Although the parents are the ones mostly raising the child, the child could also have another relative. That is totally based on individual families. I disagree with gay couples not being able to adopt because you can never know what the personalities are of the two individuals. They can still give the qualities of raising a healthy child.
