...he's literally calling them "malnourished of love" and I'm the dramatic one.  Don't take this personal, but why are you asking me to provide links when it's out on the web and easily accessible? The wikipedia page about LGBT parenting provides 15 different sources to this claim, it's really not that hard to find. I'm not a teacher, nor am I a professor and I shouldn't feel obligated to educate you just so you can properly join a discussion. That's your own responsibility.

i'm asking you to provide links, because you're stating there are scientific facts that prove otherwise, and then you post a wikipedia link.

 

ofc you shouldn't feel obligated to do anything, don't get me wrong, but if you go on saying how there are facts that prove something, and then tell me to 'find them yourself, you're on the internet, and i shouldn't feel obligated'... well...

I don't understand his logic at all, What can one gender give to a child that the other can't? Why is the child going to malnourished of Love if they have same sex or a single parent?

In a later tweet he said "As a human being there are things you can only get from your mother." Like what exactly, Breast milk?

He's CANCELLED!

He said nothing wrong here at all. 

He made it very clear that same sex couples can raise children - but that these children will also need to have input from the opposite gender. How can anyone argue against that?

He isn't saying that only straight couples can have children. He made it clear that the paternal and maternal love can come from anywhere - from aunties, from uncles, from family friends. 

No one can disagree with this. You think it would be right for a child to be raised with the input of exclusively one gender? Of course it wouldn't. But that doesn't exclude same sex couples from becoming parents - it excludes them from raising their children with /only/ men or /only/ women... which no same sex couple would ever want to do anyway. So I guess it's an odd argument to make - but it isn't offensive or inaccurate, just odd.

I think you realized it yourself: It's a very odd and redundant statement to make, no same sex couple only interacts with people of their own gender. And nobody would feel the need to put it that specific way that he did, unless they were having homophobic back thoughts.

The people getting mad at this are quite dramatic. Terry Crews is trying to say that a child should have some sort of figure of BOTH sexes to look up to not necessarily a parent though.

Also, Terry Crews has proven countless times he is progressive and is for the betterment of society. Before u all go canceling him pls try to educate him and hear him out. Cancelling culture has hurt ALL social movements more than it has helped it.

really? why? which aspect, which 'thing', which whatever, what thing proves that it makes them homophobic? i'm really confused by this.

 

EDIT: i mean, you people want equality of both sexes, and then get mad when someone wants a new-born child to have that aspect of equality of both sexes. not saying that having same-sex parents is bad in any way, but...

But he is not saying this? He is saying a child needs a maternal figure who gives motherly love, and a paternal figure who gives paternal love. He talks nothing about a child needing men and women to look up to. If that's what his point was, there would be no issue, and I don't think he'd even say anything regarding this issue out loud to begin with because obviously every child is going to have male and female figures present in their life.

Pretty sure “doesn’t matter where that love comes from” means it doesn’t have to come from one of the parents???? But i mean go off i guess lol

there are plenty of children who do not get a proper or healthy upbringing from straight parents and end up as bad eggs

all you need is a loving and stable family

i do agree that you need role models of both genders though

Omg of course it’s you that comes through with this perfectly worded

I do agree that there are some points he has made, but that as a parent it is not fully necessary.
