What an amazing arguement.
To be immature about it... NOT.
Sorry but there are no facts supporting your statement, and I know plenty gay people that have brought up children and their children turned out just right.
A child doesn't need a mother and father figure but parents. I didn't grow up in a suitable enviroment and my parents are straight (long story before you start judging me, you seem the type) so it doesn't work.

Yes of course. I have Gay and Lesbian friends who are raising children together and doing a fine job of it. One couple I know adopted a child from straight parents who couldn't handle it. I'm not saying that those straight parents are bad though, I don't know their circumstances and really can't say. But, a nice Lesbian couple is raising their child and are great parents. It is a suitable environment.

Children get bullied for EVERYTHING. This 2 moms and 2 dads things is just another potential drop in the bucket
Ew, he's too fat, she's too skinny, she's so pale, he's too tall, she's too short, she's so loud, he's too quiet, ugly, annoying, their hair is weird, they've got all these freckles, they're in the band, they're in the chorus, they talk weird they're punk/goth/emo/prep/skater/nerd/geek/gangster/ ANY other high school stereotype you can imagine.
And if the kids make fun of them for being gay, it really only shows the intolerance starting from the home about something they can't change.
And it -has- been proven that children raised by gay parents are just as normal as any other child, and many are proving themselves in this world right now. You don't have the right to deny the child that love they so desprerately deserve.

I think we should. The primary goal of adoption is, or should be, to place the child with the best possible parents. Those who object to homosexuality believe that the best placement is with a two-parent, heterosexual couple. And Hetero couples face the same issues that the glbt community does, and sometimes even see things that could be far worse. How many gay and lesbians couples with children do you see are abused or neglected?

With over 50% of marriages ending in divorce today straight couples aren't exactly bringing their children up in a suitable enviroment. I worked in a hosptial a few years back where two lesbians paid the price to have one of them impregnated by donor sperm. Their son is a happy little boy that has two great moms. When he's older and finds out how he was conceived, he'll understand how much he was loved that they went through all that to have him.

Absolutely they should. Sexual orientation of a parent has absolutely nothing to do with their ability to raise a child. Good parents don't expose their children to their sexuality - only their love toward each other.
Research has demonstrated over and over that children of gay parents are just as emotionally healthy as children of straight parents.
Straight people have kids easily and without a lot of thought altogether too much of the time. Gay couples have to do a lot of planning and ordinarily have to prove them self to a lot of people before they are allowed to parent.
I often hear people say that there should be a test before a person should be allowed to have kids - gay couples are tested in multiple ways before they are allowed to adopt kids - so all in all my money in on them for being the better parents ON AVERAGE when compared to all straight parents. A straight couple just has to have the right equipment and 9 months later they have a baby whether they have given it any thought or not.
BTW, I am a straight, single adoptive parent.

Yes I do. The rules apply down the line. If they pass all the interviews and qualify why not? Just because some one is Gay, that doesn't mean they can't be good parents. No child grows up and turns Gay because their parents are Gay. Your sexual preference is something you are born with. Gay couples are good parents and will do the job of parenting just as well a a straight couple. I think our focus should be on the parents that are terrible people and harm and hurt their children. That is an unsuitable environment!

You are so right. It's a horrible environment for any child.
To actually be wanted!
To actually be planned!
To have one or two parents who love you unconditionally!
To be accepted and nurtured and adored!
To develop Empathy!
You're right, straights have it all over gays in the parenting areas!
To have unsafe sex and risk your life and the life of your child!
To take little or no pre-natal care!
To smoke and drink and drug during pregnancy!
To abandon children like discarded gum wrappers!
To beat the kids regular like to keep 'em in line.
To subject children to emotional abuse as unwanted mistakes.
AND sooo many straight people are willing to adopt all those Special Needs Kids you breeders drop on the side of the road because you have no respect for life and smoke crack while you are carrying a child and he is born 1 pound 7 ounces at 24 weeks and 1 day and has developmental delays and emotional issues that make bonding and love more difficult than astro-physics. (That is my 2nd son, he's 5)
Yes, you are so darn smart for bring that issue up.
Gays and Lesbians are HORRIBLE people. We love unconditionally. We PLAN and WANT our children. We have higher levels of education than the general hetero pop. We travel and experience more of the world than the general hetero pop.
Yup. You are one smart cookie.
Oh, and if it is so F'in horrible to imagine that gays are adopting kids then get off your a ss and adopt some yourself and wear a friggin condom so we don't have the option.
Most of the kids we take...sweetie, are the kids that you and your tribe of heartless fools do not want.
Get a grip. Get a clue.

Trooper7...are you really that empty-headed? Honestly?
Really, why are you here in this Forum?

i imagine that is secure to assert Assayyida B is amazingly ignorant. in basic terms because a gay couple will strengthen a baby would not propose that suggested infant will be more suitable likely to instruct out gay. What about each and every of the immediately couples who've gay toddlers? How do you clarify them? i imagine we ought to continually, obviously. see you later as we may be able to provide a loving living house for them then i do not see the challenge.

yes!!!!!! Me and my partner have a 8 yr old by a previous relationship. We are good parents just because we are gay doesnt mean that we odnt deserve the right to have a family and both share the joy of raising a child together that we both love. We are also planning on conceiving our first child together the first of the year.
