tragedy benefits
The tragedies that are being brought about vastly outweigh the benefits that are being achieved.
differences people comforting
I found it very comforting to see that there is no such thing as a completely normal family. People find their way through whatever the differences may be.
children grief gay
I had always wanted to have children, so it caused me a lot of grief when I was younger, and I had supposed that gay people could not be parents.
father people parent
I was in fact anxious about whether I would be any good at being a father. And then I met so many people who had been good parents under difficult circumstances, and I felt inspired by them.
children taken people
One has to weigh all of one's values always in relative terms. On the upside, you get people who are not acting on their homosexual attraction, who are avoiding the sin of practicing homosexuality. On the downside, you have destroyed marriages, traumatized children, and dead people who have taken their own lives.
people may autistic
Some autistic people may emerge from their condition, but nobody knows when and why.
children lying men
I spent years thinking I had to make a choice between being true to myself and being with a man and not having a family, and trying to live something of a lie and being with a woman and having children ...
children parent language

organization doe good-and-bad
Every organization does good and bad things.
thinking shrinking world
I think you can't deny that because the cochlear implant exists, the signing world is shrinking.
gay thinking culture
And I found out about the wonderful world of sign language. I suddenly realized: If we as a society recognize Jewish culture, gay culture and Latino culture, we must recognize that this is a coherent culture, too. I think deafness is a disability for social constructionist reasons.
tragedy would-be able
I love to communicate, and I love music. That's why I always thought not being able to hear would be a tragedy.
suicide attitude gay
I really feel that the Church leaders have blood on their hands. I feel that there are gay Mormons who have committed suicide or whose lives have been destroyed because of the attitude of the Church.
children real hands
I would certainly not want my child to be schizophrenic. I wouldn't want him or her to be a criminal either. If, on the other hand, I had a deaf child, it would help that I have developed a real admiration for Deaf culture.
