Didn't he post like three posts about that in like 2001

I'm 99.5% sure people change, including his attitude on the matter.
I mean, he's hanging out with Miles Jai and was on RuPauls driving youtube show. He seems fine now

plus, he has done plenty of collabs with black friends, I don't see how he could be "racist"

He has never apologize for any of his comments the only thing he did is delete the video but we will forever have the screencapes.

Having black friends doesn't stop you form believe in or saying racist things about black people.

Love and care is what's important, not what gender your parent is

They're both social and cultural constructions pertaining to the monogamic model, the gay one is just more recent.

A child having a mother and a father as opposed to 2 parents of the same sex doesn't mean that they're automatically going to grow up better or more well adjusted. A man and a woman raising a child doesn't mean that they'll be perfect parents just because they're opposite sex. There are many terrible straight moms and dads out there and many wonderful gay moms and dads out there (and vice versa). The ability to parent correctly doesn't depend on your sexual orientation or gender, it depends on your personality and everybody is different. I'm a girl and I'd be a **** mother, because me being of the female gender does not mean that I'm naturally going to be caring and nurturing. I'm sure there are tons of gay males out there that'd be a much better parent then I would.

Exactly!

You can't say that a household with both a man and a woman would raise a better child than a household with a same sex couple.

It is ALL conditional and dependent upon the parenting and the children as well as the natural order of the children...

i understand what javan is saying

But I was raised by my mother and I'm completely fine...but then again...i did see my father from time to time do maybe I'm not a good example

[Vespertine]

I will say though, as much as I'm hugely disappointed... I'm not going to say Liam is homophobic. He has been more than lovely and supportive towards gay fans over the last few years, and assuming Louis really is gay... plus Louis and Harry have been outspoken about their gay fans and equal rights in the past. I think they'd clock Liam if he were truly homophobic.

What Liam is, is simply very ignorant. Hopefully time/maturity + this experience will teach him.

People who say children should have both a mother and father, there is NO logic behind that.

What about children who are raised by single parents? They turn out just fine. There is NO evidence, whatsoever, that a child has to have both a mother and a father to raise them.

I fail to see the benefits of having opposite sex parents. Can you actually provide some besides those that are defined by society's gender roles? (ie. no "you need a mommy to be warm and soft, and a daddy to be tough and stern!") Basically, is there some fundamental BIOLOGICAL difference between men and women that truly would benefit a child? Beyond breastfeeding, I can't think of one (and that's a largely irrelevant issue considering many women don't breastfeed anymore, and that only affects a small portion of your childhood).

You're making a lot of assumptions about me :/
Look, I have been raised in a singly parent household. I have a great mother who does her best, and I'm actually quite privileged to have her. I don't struggle in school or with my sexuality, of course I believe single sex parents can do a successful job. I'm a testament to that belief. But that doesn't mean to say it's ideal. As a male it's important that I have a farther figure as well as a mother figure in my life. There are some things, you can't discuss with your mother because she can't truly give you information from the male perspective. And most importantly, I intend to have kids, how will know what it means to be farther if I wasn't raised by my own? This is actually a viscous cycle in black communities in the West. Imagine if your farther died in the middle of your childhood, you'd definitely feel the void, even if you didn't have the best of relationships. And I'm not even mourning. I jusst simply believe that asking for different sex parents is not asking for to much. It's a standard imo. I'm sure for every study that you can pull up, I can post a study that contradicts it but there are somethings you can't escape.

A loving family is all that matters in the end, could be a single parent, a heterosexual couple, a homosexual couple, if love is the foundation of that family, the child will be happy.

Damn I'm having a hard time gutting through this post...

As I said. You guys are jumping to conclusions. I didn't say gender was the most important. I do believe that love and care is the most important. But I also believe having both a mother and farther is important too

javan...you didnt have any uncles or grandfathers...or cable???

I think it's great to have two parents in your life...but I know what not to do when I have kids because of my father and brother

[Big Smoke]

2 parent households are a lot more stable than single parent households. or at least a a good father and a good mother figure at least.

A lot of these kids that are out here robbing and shooting and killing people have single parents.
