That was an excellent video.

i believe god put us here as man and woman so the opisite sex should be together as man and woman

male and female he created them. God is not the author of confusion. He gave male and female different looks and body parts for a reason. Two men don't fit God's plan, and neither do two women

my son is gay...i totally support same sex marriage and raising of children..my son is a wonderful man and has awesome qualities, moral's and just EVERYTHING..and i will be happy if he and his future partner choose to have children..

I have mixed feelings about same sex men (not so much women) raising children together.

my daughter announced at thanksgiving last year that she was bisexual. but i still hope that she will change her mind. at first i felt like a failure. she had always seen guys around me and was raised with strong moral and actually nobody was gay around her until she went to high school. now alot of her friends are. its almost like a fad or something here. and we are a very very small town. which is strange. how so many teenagers are this way. it does make you wonder how society is going.

very heartfelt

Wow It was quick and informational and caused me to rethink my opinion. If my son were in the same situation I would accept where he was and love him the same. It would be difficult and a shock, but I think with time, I would be able to come to terms with it. Good interesting survey.

YOU COVERED THE SITUATION VERY WELL

it really inspires that even they are the same sex but still they love for the kids as like the real mom and dad.so,by watching them,,and that they have right to be as one..we all have the right and freedom,

i liked this commercial and think that it does a good job of promoting gay marriage and child raising.

I think children should be raised with morals. I do not hink that gay people have any morals and therefore can not teach any.

Those kids are very cute.

I have mixed feelings about gay marriage.

I just have a problems with same sex raisng children. If this start back in 1900. I would problem think differently because I was raised into same sex, but this is not true now.

if they have to live together thats their buiness but to bring children into it is wrong

That so-called grandfather should be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail and his son, the pervert, along with him. God created Adam and Eve--not Adam and STEVE!!

Marriage is between a man and a woman. Homosexuallity is an an OBAMANATION in GODS eyes!!!!!!

everyone has a right to a complete fullfilling life and that includes raising a family

I thought the video was kind of a sad state of how things are accepted today. i also felt accepting because even though i dont agree with it i would accept it if it were my kids

A "cute" commercial isn't going to change the mind of any moral person who is against gay marriage and adoption. You didn't have a "DISGUSTED" choice, or I would have selected it.

I honestly believe that any child raised in a home that fosters openess, compassion, and tolerance will mature into an adult who can lead and teach those qualities to others. On the subject of same sex marriages/unions, I also believe that a heterosexual couple in a commited long term relationship that aren't married to each other should be afforded the same rights and benefits allowed under law for married couples.

very good ad i just watched

I have always been in favor of same sex marriage and same sex partners raising children. Same sex marriages and partners seem to stay together much, much longer than heterosexuals and show more love, respect, and compassion toward their partners and others.

interesting view.

I do not have anything against same sex parenting of children. I think that it is better than single parents or bad parents female or male together.

Great short survey! I DO like the short surveys!!! I was surprized at how effective that video was. Really well done & made you think more about the kids & family than the gay relationship.

I am not gay, but I think people need to live their own lifes. Live and let live !!!

this is a complex issue. Bottom line is children need a mother and father and in my opinion, not of the same sex. If same sex marriage is legalized, I think it will lead to the decline of the traditional marriage. Then what would be next, Poligamy, etc?

Same sex marriage and bringing kids into that family is an important issue. Love is love no matter who it comes from. For those who think a gay couple raising children is wrong or immoral, well I've yet to see a gay couple on the news for abusing their children because their passion in wanting children comes from a place of love.

When you talk morality and gays raising children it is agains all morality preached in the bible.

This was very thought provoking!

as a gay man i thank you for letting me take part in this survey....it was great.

it was an awsome video, hopefully will change others points that are against it

good commercial, I'm just not sure how others will take it though

thanks glad to have recieved a survey from hcd. wish you's would send me more! and god if one belieaves in the first books of the bible stated clearly how he felt about disqusting things such as this. religon never should of been taken away from goverment. god gave us this land to be free and prosper, under his commandments. anyone wonder why the first several presidents prospered? because they followed gods commandments. send that to obamah and the hose of reps.

Gay marriage should be legalized!

i think same sex marriage is disgusting.

I think that raising children in a same sex marriage is not the best alternative for kids.

sad that the whole world isn't supportive of same sex marriage

This survey was showing good intensions but is totally showing one side of the coin is not showing how confuse kids will grow up and teased by their friends when they grow up....Will put down their self steam....Personal opion. I like the way survey was presented in a video and you can give your opinion before and after.

i believe same sex marriage with children involved would be very confusing fot the children

interesting subject. I was honest, if not politically correct. I just have different feelings when children are invloved versus soley adults

Leave marriage alone, same sex couples have other avenues to pursue other than traditional marriage, which is between a MAN and a WOMAN.

I believe most people have their minds made on the subject and ads won't make a difference in opinions.

discusting. Poor kids

Very good ad but doubt if most people will feel the same way as I do.

This is some pretty disturbing stuff

Depends on your personal views

everyone has a right to live the way the like, as long as they won't bother others.

It was good to hear an inspiring story in favor of gay marriage and same sex couples raising children together.

Sick people

this ad to me is the first one i have ever seen of its kind. it is very well done and inspiring.

Its not natural for two of the same sex to be together

I was very upset with this survey. I am a Christian and same sex marriage is not not what God said is right. No way. And to raise children in that kind of a home is also not right.

great video... its time people wake up

God created us to be united together, male and female.

This is the first type of commercial like this I have ever seen...I think it will be groundbreaking and continue the change that is inevitible and allow for acceptance. I really love this

This was interesting, and I'd like to know where/when this ad will be played.

I thought the video was very touching and the grandfather was very sweet.No one should have to miss out on having a child because they are gay.

I am a hetero sexual. I have friends who are gay though they do not have children. I my self do not have children. I am also a former law enforcement officer. I kknow from experience just because the parents are heterosexual. It does not ensure that they child will be raised in a safe loving and nuturing environment. I also know that a minute proportion of child molestors are gay. They are more inclined to be heterosexual. It was a very effective and classy ad.

great advertisement to make people realize family has many meanings

I do not believe in same sex marriage nor gay people raising kids.

This was an absolutely GREAT commercial for "same sex marriage", it was beautiful!!! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to express my opinion!

It was a very good ad but my religious beliefs keep me from thinking it is o.k. I really don't think it is what God intended.

I do not approve of same sex marriage and homosexual partners raising children. It is not fair to the children.

It doesn't matter how hard they try, I object to same sex marriage on religious and moral grounds. I don't need more information or to be "educated." I won't change my mind. I found this video disturbing.

My opposition is only to the codifying of same sex relationships as "marriage". Legal, civil unions giving "marriage-like" protections to same-sex couples would be preferable.

Same sex marriage is just like any other marriage you have to be commited to one another.

I think it is appaling that people would let 2 gay people raise children. I think it is an abomination, telling those children it is normal for 2 men or 2 women lovers to be they way they are. I think it should be BANNED in every state in this country

I do not share my beliefs with some Democrats who are strongly for same-sex marriage and/or civil unions. I think it is wrong, marriage should ONLY be between a man and a woman, and the bizarre thought of gays/lesbians raising children with supposed "good" morals is really quite sickening and is a putrid pot of what our society is and has become. QUITE DISTURBING, I WOULD CERTAINLY SAY SO!! Where is the voice of the children??? What will their gay/lesbian parents say if their children grow up to be straight heterosexuals. HMMMM!

The morals of our world today are fast disentigrating.

It doesn't make much sense

I think it must be very confusing to be raised for children to be raised by same sex parents. I am more against same sex partners raising children.

The world is becoming a disgusting place to live and people are sick!

family support

I look at the kids and as long as the kids are happy that's all that counts

The story is Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. I feel sorry for the children and how difficult their lives will be. I understand people are gay, but they should not have the same rights to get married, a marriage is a man and woman and always has been. It is a sacred vow, and so is having children. Children need a mother and a father.

I feel that the only option to gay parents is to adopt. I have a gay relative who previously was married and had children. Divorced and living with his partner, his two children suffered greatly and were never the same. IF, the gay parents would like to adopt, there are millions of children that would be better off with them rather than being stuck in the system.

I just think it's wrong. There's something called self-control.

One of the most beautiful ads I have seen in a very long time. I don't care if your bi,straight,gay tran or have any other type of lifestyle. Everybody needs, deserves and should have someone else to love and share their life with..

I still do no approve of same sex marriage or of same sex partners raising the kids together. It just is not the norm in the world and does not fit with normal society, which we all have to exist in

I thought that the video was extremely well done; a soft sell that did not hit the Bible belt between the eyes too badly.

I am totally against same sex relationships. The bible is clear as to the offense it is to GOD! GOD made us male and female and commanded us to be fruitful and multiply as man and woman. Those children are going to grow up confused and possibly be on their way to hell for making the decision to live a life like their parents which is totally outside of what GOD's intention was for mankind. Anyone who promotes this type of lifestyle will answer to JESUS on the day of their personal judgement!

I did not feel the ad too pushy about the subject but I imagine extremists will go after them. I just feel like everyone has rights no matter what their beliefs.

i think a family is a family no matter what the combination is love has no boundries

Sadly that commercial might have an impact but at what cost; sin is still sin, and you can't teach strong morals while living in an immoral lifestyle. Marriage is One Man & One Woman. Can wonderful kids be raised by immoral parents? Yes, it's possible, but it is NOT because of the immoral parts of the parents, but that part of them that IS serving God according to HIS Will.

I would rather be a supporter of same sex couples being able to adopt and raise children with the love and kindness that the deserve, than see all the abuse that goes on in the world today with children from "normal" couples. They have just as much rights as I do.

If you want to live as a gay couple so be it. rasing children in that climate no

In my mind I only believe in same sex marriage, this is a gift given us. But even more I believe in love. The family in this ad are a wonderful family no matter if not traditional. Our children need stable, loving, nurturing homes - no matter who their parents are. Thank you for showing me the 'other side' of the coin.

i don't support the same sex marriage because it is just moraly wrong to me. I have had one family member who was but did not loike that she was that way but loved her and was thankful that she raised my neice well but did not support her being gay.

If it was intended for men to be with men and women to be with women why did God create Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve or Eve and Amanda. I feel that children need a mother and father not two mothers or two fathers. JMO

I've read the comments, but I have one question: Whatever happened to letting God be the judge? The Christian Bible specifically admonishes Christians NOT to judge others. I believe God will judge us all, and that when Christians make judgements against others, we are not following God's will, but our own. I may have stepped on some posters' toes, but as a Christian, I'm leaving judgements up to the One who has the power to do so. I've never been in favor of forcing anyone to believe as I do on a particular subject. My Bible says to tell someone they're doing the wrong thing, and then to leave them alone. It says absolutely nothing about forcing anyone to change against their will. I'm never going to threaten or condemn anyone because of their beliefs because, IMO, that is not the thing to do. I'm not given the power to judge anyone on anything. That is between them and God. God knew that man, left to his own understandings, would make a mess of things, and this is true, especially when I see people who call themselves Christians fomenting hatred against people because of their lifestyle or because of their stance on the issue of abortion. I've never read in the Bible that Jesus fomented hatred against anyone, so why would people who purport to be His followers act in direct opposition to His teachings? Could it be that they are CINO? I really hate to see some people take something which is so beautiful and use it ways it was not intended to be used.

If they are committed and raising happy healthy children, why does anyone care and why is it anybody else's business. JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED. mat 7:1

Great Comments! Thanks for all of your feedback on this controversial issue.

I thought the video showed the kind of love and support that each of us would want to have from our parents and grandparents. It was effective in making me feel more positive about this family and others like them.

As a Christian who loves and studies the Bible, I always find it troubling when those fraudulently posing as Christians try to use the Bible as a cover for what is nothing more than their bigotry and hate toward those who are different from themselves. This is not at all what the Bible teaches us. And attempting to quote from health codes promulgated for nomadic tribes wandering in the desert over 2,000 years ago (such as those in Leviticus) is nothing short of ludicrous. It is so regrettable that these misguided individuals cause so many to turn away from the very religion these judgmental bullies profess to follow.

The issue before the American people concerns the civil law which belongs to all of us, regardless of our religious beliefs or affiliations. It is not the privilege of any religious group to hijack this civil law in an attempt to impose its dogma on those who believe differently. Should Roman Catholics seek to ban divorce? Orthodox Jews ban cheeseburgers? Jehovah's Witnesses blood transfusions? Mormons coffee? Seventh-Day Adventists Saturday mail delivery? Christian Scientists Medicare? Each of these groups has sincere beliefs about these matters, but they don't have the right to force their beliefs on everyone else.

The fact is that God did make Adam and Eve and Steve and billions more of us. A small percentage of our fellow Americans (3%, 5%, 7% ... pick whatever guess you like) are permanently oriented to be attracted to individuals of the same sex. It's a fact of life and part of God's creation. There is no reason at all why these Americans should not be able to exercise the same rights as their fellow citizens in property ownership, taxation, inheritance, medical care, family protections, and all the other rights and privileges granted by civil marriage. If any religious organization chooses to deny their faith's marriage ceremony or recognition to same-sex couples, that is their right and should be fully respected. But their authority is over church law, not our shared civil law.

On second thought, maybe we should just follow the advice of these zealots and adopt the Bible as our civil law and repeal all existing statutes. Slavery and polygamy would be back ... I've really missed those two. We could follow the example of Solomon and have 500 concubines, so much better than the 72 virgins promised to Islamic martyrs. And, best of all, we could stone to death all children who talk back to their parents. That should teach the little brats who's in charge!

Sound ridiculous? Sure, just like those who misuse religion to limit the rights of others. Bottom line: practice your religion in your own life and let others live in accordance with their beliefs.
