thank you for saying so! My cousin and his husband have a daughter through his sister using his husband's dna and everyone in the family was freaked out, not because of the process, but because there would be a child in a 'gay' home. Recently, his mother was deemed unfit by the state of Nebraska to, not only have anymore children, but be able to care for the ones she has. He has ten other siblings that were being looked at to care for their five year old sister and twin infants, but he was the only one given the sister because, out of all of them, he was the only one they deemed fit to have a child! Naturally, this created even more screaming between families, but if the state of Nebraska agrees that he is the best parent out of everyone on that side of the family, that should be good enough for my mother and her relatives.
That is another myth that needs to be listed. It isn't as strongly believed as it was before, but it is still out there: some people believe that two men or two women cannot raise a child because the missing gender parent would somehow mess up the development of the child. If you're going to believe in that and want to create a law saying that no homosexual couple can have a child, then you must also create the same law for a single parent that has no intention of marrying. A man and a woman can screw up a child and a gay couple can produce well adjusted children. I look at my cousin's daughter and see the truth in that. She is brilliant, kind, and loves her two daddies more than anything. Then, I have to look at some of my cousin's brothers. Raised by a man and a woman, both church going Catholics, they abused and neglected their children until half of them became so messed up, one of them ended up and jail and the rest of that half can't hold down jobs or have families because of their problems. I don't believe that sexuality of the parent has anything to do with how you turn out. As for that myth that gay couples create gay children and straight, capable parents create straight children, that's a myth, too. Awhile back, one of my gay aunts had a child. He is now twenty-three and happily married to a Korean woman, hoping very much for a child. Then there's me who has a mother and a father who are both Republican Conservatives, Christian, and almost died of a stroke when I told them I was a lesbian.

i think that as long as it is written and not DONE that anything is fine. I've read the baby sex stories and they make me want to puke, but by infringing on their right to write stories that I think is wrong, I'm inviting fundamentalists to do the same to my fanfics that involve yaoi and religion. It's one of those double edged sword deals. Besides, just because someone writes something offensive doesn't mean that the author believes in it. I write a lot of rape fics, but I think that rape is nasty and would never do it. I believe we had a discussion on pedophilia in fanfiction along this vein and a lot of people agreed that there is a big difference between having sex with a child and writing about someone having sex with a child and fiction doesn't create violent acts, violent acts create fiction. I'm sure there are thousands of people in america alone that would want to lynch me for writing yaoi fanfiction, so I don't think putting a limit on content is a good idea. *waves free speech flag*
