People don't choose to be gay - it's not a lifesyle choice.

They find the same sex attractive and that's that. Why should we tell them that they are wrong...

The children, regardless of what they're told (and as you put it, before your ninja edit - don't worry, I seen it) that it would not be acceptable if they were led to believe homosexuality was ''ok'' - you are in homophobic territory here and it's pathetic.

Whats 'wrong' with homosexuality. I see absolutely no problems with it. You sir, are a cretin.

Kids get bullied for EVERYTHING, literally the slightest difference gets you bullied. That's a bull**** bigotry masked as "think of the children"

Fcuk it, if Britney can have a 55 hour marriage and 2 people marry on the whims of complete strangers on Reality TV then why should Gay people not be allowed marry.

If any retarded 16 year old too stupid to use a condom can have kids then why can 2 loving gay parents not raise a kid that is put up for foster care or adoption.

I never said that gay people werent capable of looking after and caring for children (Im sure they'ed do just a good job as a straight couple) and yes children of all ages can get bullied for the slightest thing but face it being bullied for having gay perents is going to be more extream then most other things in which one could be bullied for.

I’m not bothered about gays meeting gays and doing whatever floats there boat but don’t push your luck expecting to blend in with everything else in society. Look ladies ye are not normal ye might pretend your normal ye might have a few students waving flags saying ye're normal but seriously ye are not normal.END OF...

TPD · 03-12-2010 04:01PM

Of course they should be allowed. In fact, with overpopulation a looming threat, I think we should be encouraging homosexuality as much as possible. The bullying argument is rubbish, kids get bullied for anything and everything.

minidazzler · 03-12-2010 04:01PM

Demolitionman, it's you, as a bigot, who I would have more of a problem having kids. You would probably say you wouldn't push your views on your kids, but it's far more likely you would.

Would you listen to this crap!

Homosexuality is NOT a behavioural disorder any more than being left-handed or ambydextrous is. Where did you get that nonsense from. Also can you provide a source as to where you learned that "psychiatrists the world over are in agreement on this"?

Merrick · 03-12-2010 04:05PM

Yes, absolutely. I have never seen a reasonable argument against it. Gay people are able to raise a child just as well as anyone else.

again though, id have some reservations about a single man adopting, less so for a single woman

Why is that? Beyond the pregnancy and breastfeeding part, gender doesn't make a difference to how well a person can care for a child.

Proper punctuation makes for an easier read. Same with proper spelling.

That said, I call bull**** on everything you just said. They probably would get a little bit of sh1t about it, but it would not be so bad that it could be considered worse than what anyone else would get.

Show me evidence to say it would. If it's your gut feeling, then you are simply masquerading bigotry with a hysterical "somebody think of the children" arguement.

Greyfox · 03-12-2010 04:09PM

Of course they should be able to, anybody who says they shouldn't are doing so because they think it's ok to discriminate a little bit against gay people

Anyone who finishes their sentences with "END OF" is a fucking arsehole. Period.

Until I see a legitimate argument against allowing gay couples to adopt, I have no problem with the idea. With regard to the "but they'll get bullied" argument - kids get bullied for all kinds of reasons... being too fat, too thin, too intelligent, too unintelligent, wearing the 'wrong' clothes, having the 'wrong' accent... or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Denying gay people the right to adopt on the grounds that it might give the bullies yet another 'reason' to attack a child is idiotic, because it abandons the entire notion of fixing the actual causes of bullying.

No way. Two men weren't made to have a baby together so why should they bring up one?

It's just plain wrong.

A woman and a man who have fertility problems "weren't made to make a baby together."

Should they be not allowed adopt?

Teclo · 03-12-2010 04:13PM

Children should be brought within normal society.

Daddy/Daddy/Son/Daughter, nope.

Heterosexual couples with fertility issues "weren't made to have a baby together" either. Should their right to adopt also be denied on those grounds?

Perhaps I'm biased- being a lesbian- but I see no reason why my partner and I wouldn't be able to bring a child up in a happy, healthy environment, if that's something we wished to do in the future. We're not monsters- we're just people and any child of ours would be as loved as any child could be.

longhalloween · 03-12-2010 04:14PM

Yeah i think they should. So what if a child has two dads or two mams.

At least these parents would show love and compassion for their child and be better parents than many heterosexual couples whos children may be abused or deprived.

Its also a better life for the child than ending up in an orphanage.

Anyway theres no way a child could be worse off from having two parents of the same sex than growing up in a single parent home. Homosexuals aren't all Glee and Sex and the City stereotypes.

And the whole bullying at school argument is rubbish as well. Many kids get bullied, regardless of their homelife so denying a couple the chance to have a child for life simply because the child 'might' get bullied is ridiculous.

I said they are able to rear (not rare) children - not a word about whether or not they already do.
Then again, maybe they do it all the time in Fairyland, it's not a place I've ever visited so I wouldn't know about the situation there. :rolleyes:

Yes, because usually a womon can birth a child a man can't, nor can two women.

Heterosexuals should of course be allowed to adopt.

But in the case of a heterosexual or a homosexual couple adopting, nobody is giving birth to the child, nobody is a blood relation to the child. I'm confused by your argument.

How will a heterosexual couple raise their adopted child better than a homosexual couple?

Should gay couples be allowed to adopt?
