Modern society has tended to adopt a more liberal attitude towards homosexuality. To what extent do you think this trend is damaging to traditional concepts of ¡®family¡¯?
Not much at all. I don't see how accepting that it's OK for two guys to sleep together damages the family.Originally posted by biochemist

So do infertile couples; I don't think this damages the family at all.I think it destroys the concept of family only in the homosexual relationship, they have no way of creating a family in the traditional way [sex].

Human nature damage the family. Everything damages the family. We usually call it change, and it is a matter of fact that everything changes. The world does change, and the focus should be on adapting the traditional family to the very non-traditional world, and creating something that works better for all. Try hard to "preserve the traditional family" will not preserve it - there was never such a constant concept as the traditional family in the first place. All it will do is lead to stagnation, and the overall weakness of society.Abusive parents damage the family.

In some cases, it may lead to strained relationships, conflict, and even rejection of a family member who identifies as homosexual. This can result in feelings of isolation, depression, and other negative psychological effects. It may also create a hostile and uncomfortable living environment for the individual, causing them to feel unwelcome and unsupported in their own home.
