should he?
okay so as you probably know my brother Michael is gay and has a partner Spencer.. they don't have children... but because they are gay they know lots of gay people which mean i know lots of gay people.. i had some friends over to meet Alegra officially the other night and My brother brought his friends Andrew and Jordan (gay couple) and they were telling me that they are in the process of adopting two beautiful little girls (sisters) but they will be new to being dads and the girls are 2.5 and 11 months (i think) and i was telling them about this website and how helpful it has been for my problems and they asked if it was gay friendly because they would be interested in joining... i told them i would asl... so i was just wondering if i gave them the website would everyone be happy to accept them?? because if i don't get acceptance for them i won't tell them to because they don't need to be judged right now as they are about to get two little girls and you shouldn't be put in a situation you aren't comfortable with (their wording)

Re: should he?
We're very accepting people around here. I don't consider myself to be "gay friendly" because I'm a Christian and i don't support that kind of lifestyle. However, I will give and receive advice with them just as I would with anyone else. I'll treat them with the same respect that I give everyone else.

Re: should he?
I think most people here are respectful if not accepting as Dadu said. I don't think any of us would tolerate them being treated rudely here.
Now, the other issue is they may have some trouble getting similar situation advice, because some of their situtations are going to be different that any we've experienced, but it's really no different from the fact that I have a different perspective than a single dad, or a teen mom...
Speaking personally, I would welcome them.

Re: should he?
I grew up around gay people and have no problem, so tell them to come on in and get to know us!

Re: should he?
i think you should invite them.
a parent is a parent regardless of their sexuality or color or religion and so on and no matter how anyone of us feels about those things.
every parent needs as much support as they can get.
i don't think they'd find any trouble here.
