Kid at my school had two mothers. Never seemed to suffer because of it. If they are loving and stable then they are better than a lot of straight parents.

Ideally a child needs a mother and a father.  In todays world that's all gone down the pan though.  Its OK with me to let gays adopt, they should be checked for parenting skills not sexual preferences.

well if the kids are old enough to understand and agree them of course it should be allowed.


the kids are still going to get the shit kicked out of them every day at school though.

If you don't think gay couples can be responsible parents, you're a homophobe. I try to stay away from black-and-white categorizations like that, but in this case I really think it's that simple. There is absolutely no reason that homosexuals can't be nurturing parents.

Surprisingly that didn't happen to the kid at my school. Two mothers is probably easier than two fathers. But that being said, there were a lot of jerks at my school but even they didn't cross that line for some reason.

doesn't seem fair to burden kids with massive secrets though...

and what child would opt for 2dads/2mums over a mum and dad?

if the child decided on 2 dads then are they old enough to make their own decisions?


'hate-crime' is just an americanism and means nothing, bullying happens, and this kids is going to get savagely bullied because of his/her 2dads.


it's a complex issue.

QFT.

Gay or straight doesn't matter as long as the parents are good models of a compassionate human being.
Which many straight couples are not.

"OMG WON'T ANYBODY THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!1"

Well think about this. Orphans are adopted by relatives. If that fails, what happens? The orphanage. That is no life for children, no life at all.

There are too many orphans and to few adopting couples. Sure, if they meet the criteria, let gays adopt.

I would go even further and say that if there is ironclad screening to weed out bad candidates, let singles adopt.

The orphanage is no life for kids, no life at all. Take thisd from someone who's been institutionalized as a teen for four years. No life at all.

is it fair to keep a kid in an orphanage or a group home where they
can come into contact with the future pedophiles of america or
maybe a group home where they can be abused and even killed

I dont see a problem with gay people raising kids

The answer is yes.
It is more important for a to have TWO guardians, than one, either M/F, M/M, or
F/F.

It is important for the child to have two role models to draw off of in order to develop a healthy attitude. It is the relativity between the two guardians (the relationship) for the child to be able to differentiate what is deemed acceptable.

One parent is shitty, because anything that
parent feeds the kid he will eat; having one parent is kind of like mental inbreeding. You want a more diverse home life for a well
rounded person rather than a one trick pony, so to speak.

If they couldn't have a baby naturally then they shouldn't be allowed to unnaturally either.

If they wanted a kid, they shoulda thought about it before they decided to be gay.

If they are fit to be parental caretakers, then why not?

I'm assuming that was a little tongue in cheek...but what about sterile people?  Should they not be able to adopt children?

Should children be taken away from single mothers?

It's just silly and a dick move to not let homosexuals adopt if they want.
