| Message | We deny that in their choices they have the same rights as other people. By being gay they have chosen not to form a family by conventional means so why should they be allowed to adopt? Better for a child to grow up in a normal family environment. Also the military is not the place for open sexuality as we have said before. Let that be kept at home and not in the barracks or on the battle field, neh? |

| Message | They did not choose to not be a form of family. Being gay is not a choice, its natural. And there are many differen gays, like there are many different straight people. A "normal" family you call it? How often is a child beaten up by his parents, abused, used for criminal purposes. Because it cannot made natural, gays think about childeren before they get one. It cost more time, its different, so they think about it, and really choose for a child when they want one. In contradiction to straight, how many times dont you hear about unwantend pregnacy? |
