Featured review
Interesting documentary...
I find it interesting how if any contemporary social trends aren't accepted by someone then they are regarded as "narrow minded." It's a very brilliant strategy, I mean really. Come 100 years when, God knows what, maybe pedophiles are pushing for civil rights then the people who see it as morally wrong are going to be called "narrow minded" because they're not going with the flow of the social trend. Oh certainly not now though... Dare we call pedophile objectors narrow minded... it's not the social norm. In any case, I will admit that I did find the documentary well directed and filmed. I do consider myself leaning to the right but I never objected to gay parents adopting children because they abuse and mistreat them... I think that's ludicrous but the film erroneously makes it out like all conservatives view it that way and it's just not true and thats been shown in numerous nationwide polls. Some senator and a few people's opinions don't represent the mass conservative population and it's a clear trick that the film uses. It makes them look like ignorant and stupid idiots. The reality is that most conservatives disagree with gay parents adopting because they view being gay as morally wrong, which it is, and that kids will grow up adopting the notion that being gay is OK. They may be straight, but many kids will be raised with accepting homosexuality as OK. Yes these kids will grow up doctors, lawyers, maybe even charity workers... As this film so gloriously points out. They will lead successful lives. But that doesn't excuse their morally corrupt views and raising a new generation of morally corrupt children who think homosexuality is OK. Even despite their success in life... I was just struck at how the film exploited this trick... People can call me "narrow minded" or whatever they want. Morality doesn't change according to how social norms think it should be. Gay parents may very well raise successful children and some heterosexual parents may very well do a poor job (even though that in itself is a misconception because heterosexual parents far outnumber gay parents... there is no doubt that if it was 50/50 the gay parents would abuse their kids just as much if not more). But it is all at the expense of raising them to have corrupt values... Just because conservatives don't sell out to a social norm and accept whatever people at a certain point in time think should be accepted, doesn't make them close minded. If anything it makes the left-wing close minded for going with the flow of society. If being critical of evil values earns me the title of "narrow minded", even though it very well isn't, then I will dust my feet off and walk away with a smile.
