No. A child needs to have a mother and a father in the home to teach how to be a well balanced person. Homosexuality is immoral and wrong, and we should not allow this lifestyle to be taught to young children. If Homosexuals have children on their own (obviously by not being gay for atleast one night), then there is not much we can do, but we can control whether or not they adopt.

Why should it matter if the parents are gay or straight? It all comes down to whether or not the child is loved, isn't it? I am a gay man, and I raise my 7 year old daughter alone. I was married for 8 years, and my ex-wife is very supportive of my sexuality. My daughter knows, and thinks the world of my boyfriend. I do not feel my being gay is going to "rub off" on my daughter. I was born this way, and it is something I don't choose, or prefer. It is who I am. We are all very happy, successful, and we are supported by our friends, family, and community. And, for the record, I live in a very small town in the south...funny how things work out.

while there is no real reason to say they cant (except for you twits out there that think its sinfull, sorry but if it was against gods will why would it exist???)
there is evidence to suggest far greater instances of children of a gay couple also being gay than children of a straight couple, while this in its self isnt a problem, it can be hard on a child who may not find their own sexual identity due to the sexual example set by their parents.

I don't think a person's sexual preference has any relation to that person being a good parent. I'd much rather see a child raised in a loving home by a gay couple than in a bad environment with a straight couple.

Yes I do and most of them adopt! They are great parents and it's not true that if the child(ren) are raised in a gay household that they will turn gay.
Rememebr that gay people come from straight couples as well... my cousin and his husband are great parents and I am glad that the twins are able to have loving parents like them...
When it all comes down to it, it's all about the well being of the kids.

Why not? We are all raised properly by our parents, and it is our human nature to raise children in a home environment. The only reason these query's are raised is because of the lack of knowledge and insight for the true human nature in all of us! Two women, as well as two men, are quite capable of passing on the same values and elements found in hetero-relationships and environments. Let the child make the choice, as we all did, of who we are and who we will become!

First off, I don't believe that anyone has the right to decide for another person either way for this kind of subject matter. It's not something that can given or taken away.
That being said, yes, I believe that ANYONE who can take care of their children should be able to raise them, regardless of sexual preference, age, or anything else trivial.

Frankly I don't think anyone should be raising kids without a license (seriously, look at some of the questions in the pregnancy/child care section). I'm sure many gay people would qualify and many straight people wouldn't.
Gender preference is no sign of parenting ability.

Let's see...1) a kid getting bounced around to 15-20 families in the foster care system, never have a home or parents to call their own...or 2) growing up in a house where they are loved and wanted. I don't think many smart people would take option number 1.
