/^t/Even if gay couples are given the right to bring up their own children, then immediately one important question emerges. On the one hand, this is the problem of a child's reaction to his/her parents who constitute a relationship of two fathers. On the other hand, this is the uninteligibility of this state of affairs by a child, who can compare the situation of his own with the situation of his /her peers who live in normal families. Children of gay couples, by the simple fact that they have two fathers, may be very often intimidated or rediculed. This is certainly a traumatic experience since children are not mature enough to cope with it, then first psychological problems may get into surface. Thus, is it legitimate to sentence a child to such humiliation and despair? Who should have the right to decide for this child what future he/she is going to have? The answer seems obvious. There are no such people, even if they are paragons of virtue, who could bear on their shoulders responsibility for the fate of those adopted children.
