Impact of being raised by a gay couple

Gay, in this context, includes the lesbians. Homosexuals are getting married in church and some Kenyans have no problem with that. After getting married, they opt to have a kid and in this case, the issue of adoption comes up. The couple adopts this cute baby boy or baby girl and raises the child as their own. In other cases, one of them might be having a biological daughter or son.

This kid grows and each day, he or she sees a lot of things. Goes to school and learns that most people are against the gays. Other kids in school learn that their classmate is being raised by a gay couple and they are asked to stay away from them by their parents, this is because they may be a ‘bad influence’. So this kid ends up being alone and gets criticized often simply because he or she is being raised a gay couple.

Try to imagine the pain this kid will go through. No social interaction with other kids, always getting criticized or bullied, missing a female or a male figure in their life; I believe this is total torture to the kid. No kid should go through something like this. How kids grow up will determine who they will become once they reach adulthood.

If a child is being raised by two moms, all she will hear is how bad men are and how women don’t need men and the vice versa applies to the child being raised by two dads. I believe it is important for a child to be raised by both the father and the mother; this way, the kid will be able to grow up like all the other normal kids and get to make decisions based on their own judgments.
