For some reason this is a controversial question. Honestly, I can't really understand why. If a couple is commited to their marriage or union and love each other, wouldn't they make great parents? Some people may argue that gay couples would not set a good example for their children. That may be true with some couples, but it is also true with straight couples. Should a straight couple that got divorced after their first year of marriage have had children? Basically, if they are good people, commited to their partners, and would set good examples for their children, I think they should be allowed to adopt a child regardless of the fact that they are gay. You're welcome to argue this, but it better be good. Nothing ignorant.

I feel like I've been transported back to the early 60's and am reliving the civil rights movement.

It's not a marriage. It's not a union. It is sexual perversion, a very serious sickness.
NO, THEY DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT be allowed to adopt. We don't need this "sickness" perpetuated in the U.S. If this kind of thing continues to increase, we will no longer be a nation. ALL nations that have become morally corrupt in history have been destroyed and ruled by another nation.
America is under God's judgment right now for this and other "wrongs that are called rights".

NO! Gay adoption is a form of mental child abuse and your argument comparing them to bad straight couples is absurd. At least the relationship would be normal from the start, not abnormal.
In addition to the mental abuse, it will turn physical quite often. Now, while it is true that "most" pedohiles are heterosexual, there are many more heterosexuals in the population, and everything they do is more, including crossing the street. PERCENTAGE-WISE, only one in over 400 heterosexual is a pedophile, as opposed to 1 in 29 homosexuals.
The homosexuals also have NAMBLA, an exclusive homosexual pedophile club dedicated to child abuse across the vast continent of North America. There is not one person in this elitist club that is not homosexual.
1 Man + 1 Woman = Marriage
1 Male Father + 1 Female Mother = Parents.
The children who are being held captive by homosexuals need to be rescued and this horrible abomination against children needs to be against the law, probably a felony.

A child needs a mother. And a father. I think gay marriage is okay, I just don't think that bringing children into it is. A child deserves a mother and a father. Not only that, but a young child would be very confused... having two daddies? When all the other kids have a mommy? This is confusion that a young innocent child does not need. Once they get into grade/middle/and high school, they won't be confused anymore, but will be made fun of. A child should not feel ashamed. What if YOU were the child of two daddies? How would you feel growing up in society today under those circumstances? I just don't think it's fair for the child.

I think that any couple can make good parents, gay or not! My parents divorced, and caused me great pain,
90% of couples now these day's dont stay together and there are children involved..what's the big deal about letting same sex couples have them. What I'm getting at is anyone can be a good parents as well as a bad parent.! If they are willing to love their kids, and raise them with good set of mind and morals, why not!!??

Being gay should not be a basis of determining wether a couple should or should not adopt. Heterosexual people are just as fully capable of not providing a good example to kids as gay people.
Long story short, as long as you are able to provide a nice loving home for a child, no matter what your sexual orientation should be, you should be able to adopt.
As for your question about straight couples having kids, keep in mind that newlyweds are in this newly married bliss which includes making them want to have kids. In this stage they never knew what that divorce was in their future (may it be in 1 or 10 years). There is no such thing as having kids being wrong for a married couple so this is a bad comparison to a gay couple adopting.

It is more so that gay couples may show a disire for more gay allowance for issues as allimony...ect when they break-up. Like hard fought issue of bennifits. if socity creates a more acceptable feild for gays then where will the babies come from?? We need families to make and raise children, to provide for the future of mankind. If we create a world of majority gay and lesbian acceptance there will not be a healthy growth of youth to continue nor support the sevices when we get old. with our youth today it already looks grim for retirement for the 40's/50's generations.

I really dont know what my own opinion of this is. I am not for gay marriages in the first place. but i can also understand that a gay couple would want to raise kids together. The effect on the kid is the main issue. I think it would confuse the kid. The kid would be teased all the time and i think it would damage their self esteem.

No. A precedent should not be allowed to be set in this matter.
Thats really what the whole gay marriage thing is about isnt it? First you have to legitimize marriage, then you move on to the real agenda, adopting.
You cant make a child in nature can you? So why should you have the right to adopt?

I agree. I remember when Goerge W was talking about how we had to protect the sanctity of marriage (when the gat marriage issue was hotter than it is at the moment). I also remeber wondering why we had to do that? What would gay couples do to marriage that hetero couples hadn't already done? Marriage is not a sanctified institution anymore.
So it should be the same with kids. No one has proven to me yet that a gay couple would be any better or worse at raising children than a hetero couple and until someone does I'm all for them adopting. If they qualify and everything checks out with them than why not? There are so many kids in this country that just need a loving home.
