Originally posted by generalissimomost drug addicts dont see the personal damage in what thay do, not accepting the world as it is , or needing drugs to alter or improve reality sends a message to the self that it is lacking and needs artificial enhancment. Addicts therefore have generaly a lesser amount of self esteem to pass on to their children , this is why I see addicts as less responcible or suitable to be parrents than non addicted gay people.
If you compare the worst example of an heterosexual couple with a gay couple then you'll find that the gay couple will be better with children, however not every heterosexual couple is alcoholic, or drug addict (which I don't see as something bad anyway, I smoke marijuana and I'm still responsible enough to take care of children).
Even if you have the most loving and careful gay parents, they won't replace a real dad or a real mom.
The topic is REPLACMENT of a real/ birth mom and dad , loving and caring people would make much better parrents than self involved addicts, wouldnt you agree?
