Should gay couples be allowed to adopt children?
 

my vote "NO"

Yes.

:2 cents:

why the fuck not? there are just as capable as a straight couple to bring up kids my friends as lesbiens and one of them has a 6 year old daughter and she loves having two mums! plus she makes her own mind up about life by jokingly saying a boy in her class is her 'boyfriend' saying that they should have the same sort of checks as a straight couple though to see if they are suitable parents.

if my dog can get a credit card in the mail why the hell not....

why not?
I just saw a story on TV where a straight couple wanted to sell their kids in Mexico.

i think yes. Because there are many children without family, so why someone do not adopt them? No matter whether it is normal couple is gay. The main point is that a couple should be good.

you are in minority. Explain why!

yeah baby.... why not

For sure! And Bush's recent tirade on gay marriages is ridiculous. He's such an idiot. I think its most likely a tactical ploy to take attention away from other things while election time draws nearer.

yes, why not..

Do not forget, all that we count - by the normal means of life - the kept balance views of society. Life progresses, and necessary to know how not to be afraid of and to reexamine its views Gay and lesbians they were always and they will always be.But children in their families will feel themselves by valuable children, only in that it occurs, if society ceases to receive homosexuals as waning people.

:disgust

Of course they should be able to.

I just voted

Yes. Most of them would make BETTER parents than the straight parents we see now.

i say no, fuck gays; stupit none people.

sure, why not

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh you are funny

thanks :P

No, but my reasoning has nothing to do with religion or "morality".

While I agree that a gay couple can be just as good (or as bad) parents as straight folks, subjecting a child to the teasing, harassment and hate that he/she will no doubt recieve in school and elsewhere is simply unfair to the child.

Perhaps we should ban interracial marriage on the same grounds?

I totally agree with this comment.

I've voted also :D

I know you like stirring shit for the sake of stirring shit, but please tell me how interracial marriage equates to child adoption by same sex couples.

Has anyone seen Six Feet Underon HBO where the gay couples raises 2 orphan brothers? Really good show.

Were gonna have this gay parents get gay children issue again right?

fyi: I think thats bs

Well the children of interracial couples would also be subject to teasing and harrassment by other children.

As you've stated, children getting teased is reason enough to deny people civil liberties.

Maybe we should make it illegal for handicapped couples to marry? More teasing.

Time to move on past the hate and other bullshit the kids might be subjected too. Enough gay couples do this and it will become acceptable. Just like every other adoption the child should not be sent to a home where drugs or violence are a problem.

Gays should be miserable like the rest of us and get married. Then they can enjoy divorce court too and pay support. Why stop there add kids and child support. Who knows maybe 1 or 2% of them will find true happiness.

Then you should have said "interracial couples having childen" not "interracial marriage". Marriage does not equal having children. Since my daughter is 1/2 Asian, I'm pretty sure I'm not against it. I am, however, not in favor of a same race couple adopting a child of a different race. Whether you like it and / or want to believe it or not, there are cultural difference between races and a child deserves to know his culture.

If that is what my answer meant to you, then by all means think it. Yes, adults may do as they please, but children need to be protected. So yes, I am of the belief that the welfare of a child should be placed before an adult's desires and his or her liberties.

Again, I don't believe I've ever said "disallow this or that type of marriage", but as my other child is disabled and I know what his limitations and abilities are, yes, I would be totally against people with his level of disability having children or adopting.

Gay couples can't raise kids worse than my parents... or half of your parents. Or am I wrong? Either have qualifications for everyone, or no one. No reason to discriminate. I don't see how being gay can make you any worse a parent than anyone else.

another issue where just believing in something simple like the notion that a child needs a father and a mother means your a bigot, a nazi, a homophobe and god only knows what else.

They DID sell one. It was sad :(

As I child, I would not want to walk in on one dad behind another dad. I would be traumatized for life.

NO F WAY :mad: :mad:

Should straight people be allowed to post? NAH lol... Seriously is it me or is this board more obsessed with gay issues then me who is gay???

100% no for men 50% for women - because young children dont and wont ever comprehend why the same sex couple is together until they are old enough. By that time they are old enough they are either tramatized to an extent or accept the facts.



not knocking anyone or saying it is a bad thing just my opinion.
