Til Death Do Us Party

I think if gays aren't allowed to adopt kids, then republicans shouldn't be allowed to either. I mean we don't want to risk having any more of those in our world, do we?

I think that gay people should be allowed to adopt children, and I'm really tired of s**t like this.It's hard enough having to deal with telling your loved ones that your gay, and dealing with them not accepting it or whatever, but now we have to deal with s**t like this?Gay people are anatomically the same as straight people, scientists have been trying to isolate the "gay" gene for years now, but no one has found it, well guess what, that's because it DOESN'T EXIST!The only thing separating gay people from straight people is the rights available to them.Gay people can't be legally married in most states, they are viewed as inferior by society, and they are judged more harshly than anyone I know.I've personally done some research, and eight out of ten people I asked said that they would rather that homosexuality never have been introduced to our culture, then being able to have prevented WW1 and WW2.Yep, that's right, people like world war one and two better then they like gays, and I'm getting really pissed about it!

User Image"Seriousness is the refuge of the shallow."

Also, by denying homosexuals the right to adopt, you are denying these kids a family. And that's cruel.

Exactly the point, I'm tired of all the bad things about gays.
here is my point.

~Gays are people
~Orphans have no family
~Its not like gays can have children
~Gays want to give the children families

What is so freaking bad about that?

John1513
ok this is probably a horrible thing to say, but if there are any gays out there reading this, please dont adopt kids. itll be weird for them to have to grow up like that with 2 dads or moms. im totally pro marriage, but kids is another thing

Yes, it is horrible. I have a friend who was adopted by two gays, and she loves them to death, she doesn't think its weird at all. It. Is. Not. That. Bad.

They can, just not with each other.

Why shouldn't they? I've known very few homosexuals that would not qualify as good parents. Most of them are afraid of how society would treat a child they would raise, so they opt not to (I think they should, anyway).
The thought that gay people will raise gay children is ridiculous. Yes, they'll tend to be influenced by their environment, but they won't necessarily all be gay, any more than all straight families will raise straight children. I'm straight, and a little homophobic. I've had three children; one is trans gender, one is bi, and quite happily married to one of the opposite persuasion, and one is a self-proclaimed monk. I am told that I was a good parent (though some days I have to wonder, but not about this). The children are happy, and have good lives.
People just need to quit finding excuses to hate each other.

Should they?

If they want to

Should they be allowed to?

Sexual Orientation has little to do with one's parenting ability, so I don't see why not.

(though apparently studies have been done that show Lesbian couples to be better parents than non-lesbian couples, I would source it but I merely heard via word of mouth)

The belief that one's sexual orientation spreads to one's children has little to no credit behind it seeing as the 'causes' of the different sexualities of a human being have yet to be determined by modern science.

ok gays have every right 2 adopt as straight ppl does
some ppl say "the children should have a mother n a father"
but dont they kno that there is so much kids out there with a single parent!!
secondly they're talking about think of the kids... n yea DO THINK OF THE KIDS.. im sure they would want a home n 2 be loved n yea have decent clothes
n they're not going 2 make they're kids gay... n if they do so what thats the kid descion not urs!!
all of what they're saying is just excuses... they just dont wont gay ppl 2 adopt
n if they really do care about the kids like they say they do then y r they going against this... they should want the kids 2 have a nice loving family n even if they're parents are gay!!!

I think that as long as a safe, stable, loving environment is provided for the child, the parents could be anything. Gay, straight, single, married, divorced, as long as the child is being supported.

I'd rather leave a child in the care of a gay couple than an orphanage. 3nodding
Not saying all orphanages are bad, but they're not the greatest places in the world.
At least under the care of two men/women a child (or children) may receive as much love and attention as they deserve that may not be met within an orphanage house because you only a handful of adults attending to many children.

And think of this way: Maybe growing up under the care of gay people will teach that kid to be a little more open minded than some people who are arrogantly closed minded (I mean no offense to anyone who opposes this idea, this is just what I think of those who are anti-gay, and strong disbelievers in many other things).

I stand up for gays 100%. My best friend is gay and if he wanted to adopt a kid he has the right to do it! I'm tired of people talking crap about gays and lesbians. I'm straight but I know that they are just like everyone else.

"the children should have a mother n a father"
User ImageLooking in the scope...User Image

As you say, that's not exactly the case.
A child doesn't need Mom and Dad.

Looking through the eyes of trying to discipline the child, you do need two parents (regardless of gender).
One parent will catch the acts and give light punishments and warnings to the child.
The other parent is what I like to call 'The Fear'.
They bring out the punishments that make you cringe, think twice about what you do.

The proof?
For a period of time, my brother in law was sent off to Iraq.
My sister had to take on both of these roles in her children, and she had little to no affect on them, even though normally was 'The Fear'.
Tables would turn though when she came here.
All of us contributed by being the 'parents' would give light punishments and warnings.
My sister and my father both took on the role of 'The Fear'
My father being the biggest fear enforcer could make the kids go pale and eyes wide if they were threatened with him because his punishments are anything but kind.

So what does all this blab boil down to?
Yes, a child needs two parents.
A child doesn't gender diversity in the parents though.
