/^t/To start it should be stressed that a lot of families nowadays don't bother to bring up their kids in tolerance. Tolerance is not so important a value. Therefore there is much discrimination and critics in a society. Homosexual couples for sure are tolerant and open couples. They must be, having such controversial views on sex. Children observe their parents behaviour every day and they learn, repeat certain patterns of behaviour. Homosexual, like many other couples, can be good or bad in rearing children but surely they have their own, developed opinions and views on life. If someone decide to be homosexual, to set a family and to bring children they must be strong and persistent because they must face lots of difficulties and critics from other oriented people. Here the question appears, why other people find themselves to be proper to bring up children and why they think they should be in power to critisize someone who has another option for sexual life and for life at all. Considering all above facts, it should be firmly stated that homosexual couples must be tolerant to bear all these unconveniences and nastiness from so called "normal" families. They must spend much time with their adopted children talking with them about life problems, discussing plenty of topics not understandable for others, presenting their own opinions versus other people's opinions. Their children, instead, are going to be well prepared to life, have more open mind and be very understandable. And these values, in turn, are ones of the most important and evaluated.
