I would ask that the discussion continue, at least on net.motss, because I think that we in the [lesbian|gay|bi|trans|women's|...] community need to be aware of the attacks against us and should be aware of the political figures involved in these situations. So, if you want, remove net.singles and net.kids, but continue net.motss, because we shouldn't have to wade through net.politics to read about issues directly affecting our lives. How do people out there feel about raising/adopting children. I have long wanted to raise a child or two children (perhaps adopting one and breeding the other in some kind of venture with a willing woman). I don't think I'm ready yet (at 22 years old, I'm still moving around a bit, and my income isn't as stable as I'd like it to be), but I'd like to hear from people who are raising children in a space safe for lesbians/gays/... What should I consider before doing it? What are the benefits and deficits? How much would societal repression damage the children?
