gay and lesbian adoption

how do you feel on this subject..


my own opinion is that it should not be allowed.......

i dont think that given that these people made the rational choice to live the way they do (same sex relationship) they know that there is absolutly no chance of them having a baby fom within that relationship there has to be somesort of outside influance ie:- ivf or a human donor having sex with one of them..

so it seems to me that as they make there bed they should lie in it...

i also think to bring a child up thinking that same sex relationships are the norm is wrong they arnt and never will be if they were then the human race would die out........


i'm not anti gay good luck to them but as for adoption as far as i'm concerned thats a definate non starter

I agree to a certain extent. I think in order for a child to be brought up with a correct mindset, they need to know that there are and will forever be the occasional homo among people they meet. Otherwise they will grow up hating them just for their choice of subject to brush up on, so to speak.

I know some homos who are perfectly fine people. They have jobs, lives, and the occasional romp. They exhibit nothing of the sort that homos are usually stereotyped with, e.g. for gay guys, the lisp and the strange smirks at all other guys. You wouldn't even know they were gay until they told you or you saw them with their arms around another guy. Same with lesbians. Not all lesbians have haircuts like Anne Heche and Ellen Degeneres and run around holding hands with their lovers sucking on lollipops all day. :haha

Yes it should be allowed.

Well now, that was straight and to the point. :haha

It should be allowed. Why shouldn't gay people have to right to addopt children?

Because by choosing their lifestyle, which in and of itself denies them the ability to conceive a child in the first place, they therefore shouldn't have the ability to adopt one and raise it as if they did conceive it.

Well, being rich is a 'lifestyle' so does that mean rich people can't adopt because they are rich?

Being rich is not a lifestyle that prevents conceiving.

Being gay is. (You can do your partner all you want but neither one of you are likely to get pregnant.)

I can see your point, but i can't argue with your opinion, my opinion differs

Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got em, nobody else likes em. (Except for the wickedly kinky.)

"Because by choosing their lifestyle, which in and of itself denies them the ability to conceive a child in the first place, they therefore shouldn't have the ability to adopt one and raise it as if they did conceive it."

This is very illogical. Have you ever studied "reasoning" class in school??
The focus is on the child's well being, not the ability to give birth. OK!!! I think a child in rich and warm "gay" family is luckier than a child born to the abusive natural parents. I would have two moms or two dads rather than being in this divorced family, where mom and dad turn their back on each other. I would rather be "gay" than having divorced parents or corrupted family!! Although there is no research showing that having gay parents actually causes you to be gay , I think the effect on sexual orientation is much lighter than effect on education+mental status-->secondary to living in
In fact, I think divorced and abusive family are more likely to cause children to be gay than nurturing "gay" families.

Make sense??

I support gay adoption.

I am wondering why I didn't catch this before.

Being gay is not a choice.. to say it is to have an illogical line of thought. Nothing but a homophobe you are.

Sure it is, you don't remember?? It was question number 3, right after you chose your sex and race.

I don't see how a kid raised by a gay couple would "learn" to be gay themselves. Ask most gay people and they'll tell you their parents were straight as an arrow.

Well, Rosie O'Donnell has two adopted children so I guess the people in charge are ok with it.
I think it should be the same as for "traditional" couples. As long as they meet the same requirements of financial security and mental stability, I say let 'em adopt as many as they can.

Yeah that is true... I could of choosen to be Chinese... lol... but I thought being Spanish was more my style... lol.

There was a study done and it proved that kids raised by gay couples are not any more prone to turn out gay than kids raised by straight couples.
