Adam Carolla on Gay Parents vs Straight Parents [Video]

[Language Warning]



Adam is pro-gay marriage, btw.

 

[Confederate]

He's right.

As a child of a single mother, I can tell you this is bs. Gender does not determine the role in the child's life.

There are no physiological differences between men and women that cause them to think differently?

 

[TonySutton]

His argument was devoid of facts but he did say fuck alot...

 

[Giuliani was there on 911]

He's right

Actually, there isn't.

Aldanga posted it.

The backwards notion that only women can provide 'nurture' is not only homophobic but also sexist. This is 2012, not 1912.

I was also surprised the first time I heard it, but there's no evidence supporting the claim that a male's brain functions any differently than a female's brain.

Don't get out much, do you?

Carolla has said a lot of dumb things.

This isn't one of them.

 

[Antischism]

I'd like proof of his claim, and I don't mean anecdotal evidence.

Adam Carolla is an idiot. It sounds like he was more upset with people who make stupid arguments and bad analogies than the notion that a same-sex couple can raise a child just as well as a man and woman.

The one thing I will say though, is that the child will be confused and potentially teased at school when he/she realizes that most other kids have a mom and dad and not two of the same sex. That's the one argument I can see anyone bringing up validly. But how much of an impact would that have psychologically? Will the same-sex parents talk to the child properly about their situation? Lots of factors here.

Funny video. I agree with Adam.

 

[Danke]

I wouldn't mind having two mommies.

If you're implying I missed the point of his post, I didn't. I understood exactly what he was getting at with the guffaw gif. I merely like to season my responses with a pinch of sarcasm. I feel it helps to improve the flavor.

Ive known way, way too many young men that never had strong father figures in their lives who screwed themselves up in their teens or twenties, enough that I can say with confidence that boys need a relatively constant male role models in their lives.

Im not saying it always turns out this way, or that I oppose gay adoption either. Im just saying having a dad around improves how boys act as they become men. Maybe its a role model, maybe its the fear dad might kick your ass at 17 and mom probably cant, I dont know.

I haven't looked at any unbiased science on the subject (if there is such a thing), but common sense tells me Adam Carolla is correct. That said, I still don't think it's a big deal. Two mommies is fine.

My single mother did all she could, and I love her, but absolutely a male role model would have been nice to have growing up. I'm not sure if I would have grown up... "better"... but perhaps I would have enjoyed my childhood more.
