Should gay people be allowed to adopt?

im saying no. because it is my own preference. although this does not mean i would be angry at the thought or not befriend a family with gay parents, or not let my own child play with the child of gay parents.

i believe the circle of life is between man and woman. i believe a penis is not for insertion in the Ahole, and not to pleasure a man. it is for a womans hole, and to create lives, create human beings. God/the universe or whatever it is you want to call it, made us like this. we have those private parts for those reasons. to make a family.

So in general i find being gay, not necessarily wrong...but (how do i put it nicely..) just not exactly correct either. Its all well and good to feel like you were born gay etc...which i have no problem with. but when it comes to children/family etc..i think being gay is kind of beyond that. be gay all you want..adopt children, fine. but accept that people will not see this as 'correct' behaviour..and i dont think gays can blame people for thinking this way. yes there are single parents out there...or male/female couples who abuse their kids...but thats not the point..i think priority should be given to provide the child with a male/female family environment first. a gay couple i think should be the last resort, in my opinion.

haters im ready.

The advantages of a democracy... freedom of speech. No need to hide my opinion.

While that is more to do with a liberal state than a democracy, I'm glad you shared your opinion, largely because you have supported my views on gay couples adopting.

I mean, not directly, but more by providing a good example of how traditional families can produce intolerant people who fail to understand that with the freedom to express your opinion comes the responsibility to make sure that it makes sense.

Glad I helped. As a matter of fact I could say the same, not directly of course, but more by providing a good example of how sick certain sections of society have become.

Just to let all of those who think a father-father/mother-mother with child combination is a 'family', here is what comes up when you search for family in both Google and Wikipedia:

Father, mother and children right? That's it. Any deviations? No. Goodbye to you all.

Actually, in nature, many species don't have a male gender, look up New Mexico whiptail or as they are most commonly called "Lesbian Lizard", they have evolved a life beyond men and no long require to have a penis in their "Private parts" because they have sex with each other (female on female) in order to procreate effectively.

oh come on! puhleez...wtf is wrong with you?...there are ****ing mammals and whatever other forms of species out there that kill the opposite sex, or even eat their own babies etc...so does this make it okay for human beings to do the same???....because some underwater fish monster eats its husband, makes it okay for me to do so?????...**** off!

Yeah there's a shortage of couples willing to adopt and being in care or fostered is bad for kids.
Mind you there was also a christian couple who were turned down because they thought homosexuality was a sin... I'd have let them adopt too tbh. Presumably lots of biological parents disaprove of homosexuality too. Think there's too much emphasis on matching a perfect pattern with the current system when there should be more emphasis on getting kids into stable family units.

I read the court judgement for that case, and the couple had said to the social worker that they woud try and 'turn' a foster child who thought he/she was gay. I wouldn't want anyone with that attitude to foster an older child (or adopt at all).

But you are absolutely right, the emphasis should be on finding the right family for the individual child, not find a 'perect' family which doesn't exist. Besides, some of the children needing adoption would positively benefit from having a single parent or two women or two men as parents. Depends on the child and their background. There is no magic formula which every child should have, although many people seem to believe that
