[QUOTE="Penguinchow"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]

And still we see that everyone is perfectly fine with a single person adopting, and YET! So many people have a problem with homosexual people adopting based on the pseudo-argument that there is lack of the influence of both genders. Which is the case for single parents as well.

So we can conclude that the single parents issue shows that the inhibitions have nothing to do with those arguments and instead lets admit that its just about some people not being able to cope with a family model they are not used to.

Teenaged

If you notice in my above post I mentioned that I don't think single parents should adopt either. This isn't just about prejudice for me, I honestly think that a family model lacking one gender is not a good environment to raise a child in.

This wasnt referring to you. Thats why I made it separately.

Ah understood, My apologies :)

The same thing would happen a few years ago to the children of an interracial marriage. Should we not allow interracial couples to adopt?

Or is it a better tactic to succumb to the immaturity of others who like to make fun of what doesnt suits their personal opinions or "aesthetics"?

[QUOTE="Penguinchow"][QUOTE="Teenaged"]But I dont see you advocating not allowing single parents to have children.

Double standard?

Teenaged

With single parents sometimes there's not a choice. In the case of homosexuals adopting there is almost always a willing heterosexual couple that would take the child.

As far as I know, people who are not a couple with someone ARE allowed to adopt. Therefore in single parents sometimes there is a choice.

My friend's single mom has had 2 kids, and has fostered upwards of 10 children, up to 4 at a time. :) A crowded house, but she raised the kids well. If a single-parent can do that, a same-sex couple can handle adopting at least one kid. :D

Children get made fun of for everything. We cant criminalise every potential characteristic someone can get bullied for.

It continues to astound me that no one who argues against same sex/single parent adoption seems to even think that there would be someone who would fill a role of a mother or a father figure should one or the other is absent. It always amazes me.

But does that means we should give them one more reason? And they should only be able to adopt kids that are old enough to choose if thats what they want.

Like I said: need we succumb to other people's immaturity?

Would you say the same quote to an interracial couple if they wanted to adopt? "Hey please dont adopt. Why give people one more reason to make fun of minorities?" :|

Why should they be able to adopt only then.

First off you would have to establish that gay couples are inferior parents to heterosexual couples.

1) People don't choose to be gay

2) Even if they did, so what. A gay couple produces a gay child. What's the harm done? The only disadvantage the child would be at would be at the hands of people who put them down.

3)You know what, nevermind all that. You know what's more detrimental than having a same sex couple as parents? Having no parents and growing up in an orphanage.

Drakes_Fortune

i dont get any of your point 2. So gay couples produces gay kids? LOL. They are going to make the kid gay Then i really dont want them to adopt them. Thers no point in making a gay kid. 1 reason is that he wont be able to reproduce. And does this means "The only disadvantage the child would be at would be at the hands of people who put them down." ?

This is false as it has been demonstrated countless times.

Sorry.

The problem is that probably you meant to put a question mark after the word " gay " but for some reason GS "eats up" whatever you put next to the word " gay ". (notice that I have to leave a space between the word and the quotation marks).

You have asked this question before in the other thread.

I told you there is no specific reason.

Why do you like the opposite sex? Can you name a reason?

Of course. Tons of heterosexual parents aren't capable of raising children properly, so let the gay parents willing to do it do it.

Straight parents only raise straight children, obviously.[this is sarcasm, stop reaching for that report button]

Personally, if it was being transferred from foster home to foster home for 18 years or having a loving family with 2 moms or 2 dads, I'd pick the solid home. There's so many kids without homes, denying gay couples is like saying you can't adopt a kid because you're (black, asian, fat, white, old, etc).

So you are just saying that you are heterosexual because you dont want to be homosexual.

And I'll take it that you mean that you are heterosexual because you find it impossible to be attracted to the same sex.

Well here's your answer reversed which istrue for homosexuals.

They are homosexuals because they find it impossibel to be attracted to the opposite sex.

Short: Homosexuals are attracted to the same sex. They are NOT attracted by the opposite sex.

Really? I regret to inform that two people of the same sex can have sex. Not that that even weighs in on this current argument. Plus sex isn't all there is to any relationship in the first place.

TC, do you have any idea of the number of kids in the DHS system in your area? My wife and I were going to adopt thru DHS (before we had our twins), and my dad was adopted thru DHS, there are many, many children who need loving homes, with gay couples or not. A good family, no matter the couple's sexual orientation beats staying in the "system".

GOD A'MIGHTY, TC! Why stop at gay couples! Why not deprive the blacks - they been vilified FAR longer than gays! GIVE the people a gay-raised actor! GIVE them a lesbian-loved singer/songwriter! WHEN WILL IT END, Y'HONOUR!?
