Who here hates gays adopting children?

Question

Well I use to,but studies show that homosexual couples who adopt are 2x better then heterosexual couples. So is that telling us gay couples have better parenting skills then us straights. I can't disagree they're human beings just like us. Does anyone agree?

Well studies show that when heterosexual couples have children,their were reports of abusing,malestation,or they eaither sent them back. The studies show that has never happened with homosexuals. Damn they making heterosexuals look bad,Why is that? We have good parenting skills.

Answer 1

I have no problem with gay couples adopting children. I believe that its best for a child to have some kind of parenting rather than none. I believe that any "gay" restrictions should be removed from the adoption process...

Answer 2

Why would you hate the thought of that? I guarantee you that, if you are ever mugged, it's more likely by a kid that was bounced around from heterosexual foster home, to heterosexual foster home before finally aging out at 18 and having no where to turn, than by a kid raised by a gay or lesbian couple.
People say that kids raised by same-sex couples are missing out on having either a male or female role model...does that mean that you also look down on single parents trying to raise their kids? Why is it that society thinks that 2 moms or 2 dads is worse, in some way, than one mom or dad? If nothing else, sure they don't have a role model of the opposite sex, but at least they get to see how a loving couple, same-sex or not, functions...not only that, but they have a family!
I've heard people say that homosexuality is wrong because it can't produce a baby....well wake up!!! Not only is there a serious overpopulation problem right now (so we don't need more people being produced!!), but there is an abundance of children who need homes and families. Isn't a family of any sexual orientation better than not having a family at all?

And think about this: People say that homosexuality isn't in God's plan, but don't you think it's a pretty big coincidence that us figuring out that we have major overpopulation crisis is happening at around the same era in which gay rights are finally coming into existence and more and more people are "coming out" and being accepted? Maybe that's just God's way of compensating for the fact that medical science has given us higher survival rates for children and longer lives for adults, thus leveling out the overpopulation crisis.

And in responce to sassikatz04, would you still say that if you reached a point in your life where you wanted to have kids and found out that, for some medical reason, you can't? "Children are for fertile women, not medical deformities like you!" sounds harsh, doesn't it? If this happened to you, I'm sure you would either adopt or find a surrogate or whatever you had to do...regardless of whether it's the "natural way" or not.
And besides, if it weren't for all the irresponsible heterosexuals having kids before they're ready, those kids wouldn't need to be adopted anyway. Just because "it's the natural way" doesn't mean it's a good thing, and just because YOU don't consider it natural doesn't mean it's bad.

(Note: I'm not saying that "heterosexuals are irresponsible, I only say "irresponsible heterosexuals" because, let's face it, it's not the lesbians or gays producing all these unwanted kids! I myself (a female) am engaged to a wonderful man. I just strongly believe that everyone should have equal rights.)

Answer 3

Why should anyone disapprove or hate the idea of a gay couple adopting children? It seems to me that society should stop bitching about the ways of others and focuse more on their own lives. The only thing that would make it hard for the child is having self righteous people telling them that their parents union is wrong or sinful or convincing them that their parents will rot in hell.

Answer 4

I haven't seen the "better" study, but I do know that kids are no more likely to turn out gay than the general population. Orientation of the parents has zero impact.

The real issue here is that some people want to shove their religion down the throats of children that THEY aren't willing to take in and care for. There's something very wrong and very hypocritical about that.

Answer 5

What kind of backwards question is this. It's good if any loving person or couple adopts a child and brings them into the family. There many, many, many children right now that need and want a home and good family. It doesn't matter if the parents are lesbians, straight, bisexual, or gay.

Answer 6

The evidence is: Children raised by homosexual parents are just as well-adjusted as children raised by heterosexual parents. They are NOT more likely to be gay, not more likely to be "confused," not more likely to have any particular types of problems than other kids. It's the quality of the parenting that counts.

And they are not embarrassed by their parents (more than any other kids!) and are just as proud of their parents as anyone else. There are a lot of messed up supposedly "normal" families out there. Any family with love and supportive relationships is normal.

Answer 7

SO many ignorant people on the question. I have raised a son with my lover. He is a great human being. He was rasied to love and respect all. No taught behaivor to hate or judge people who are different than him. He is straight. What is wrong with having 2 loving supportive parents? Gender should not be an issue.
When will people realize there is no recruitment program or gay agenda. We don't persuade people to be gay. All we teach are children is to be true to themselves. They will be gay if it was meant to be from birth. There was nothing I could have done to change it if he was or make him be gay. GET EDUCATED PEOPLE!

Answer 8

yes, I am a lesbian, but no, I'm not a parent, but I have gay/lesbian friends who are parents and those children are happy, healthy and well-adjusted. they are no more likely to be gay than if they were raised by straight parents. what difference does it make what gender the parents are as long as they provide a happy, safe home for their children? and there are plenty of straight parents out there who should never have had kids! considering some people I've met over the years, maybe all prospective parents should have to take classes, pass a test and receive a license before they are allowed to? why not? we have to to drive a car? raising children is one of the biggest responsibilties people can have.
so, to answer your question, yes, I agree with you.

Answer 9

I think the folks that tend to disagree with homosexuals being allowed to adopt children ( just typing that out makes me sick after all we are people just like everyone else ) are people who are either uneducated with regards about who we are, how we actually live or where we come from... I think alot of the mainstream stereotypes of homosexual is the most damaging thing against us... stereo types such as us being the primary cause of AIDS and largest population of carriers... as a result of serial sex partners... and then gay men are typically thought to be pedo's by the average joe on the street....... why this is I'll never know... seeing as 98% of sex crimes against children are convicted by men who identify as straight men...

people who are uneducated will be the hardest to win
whether they are uneducated by choice or by coincidence

super answer Goldwing!!

Answer 10

I think its disgusting. They want to live in the homo/lesbo world, and yet they want children, and we all know that the only way to get them is the NORMAL way, between a man & a woman... Sounds hypocritical to me!!

Its not a matter of "giving the child a "good home" we're talking abut a child, not a puppy!!!! The kids will grow up confused, like.. "now who is mom, or who is dad, again"?? What about school functions, they would feel embarassed, seeing the other kids with normal families!!!Its just WRONG!
