Gay and Lesbian Parents
As being gay is now more widely accepted, I was wondering, what do you think of the whole Gay/Lesbian family setup?
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it I but I know that a lot of people out there think that it is 'unnatural' and 'damaging' to the children and that they will be exposed to endless amount of teasing and bullying in the playground.
So yeah, what are your views on it? and also, if YOU had gay/lesbian parents, would you feel embarrassed about it and that you felt you had to hide it?

Gay people should definitely have the right to have children.All a family needs is love
No more homophobia!

Any couple should be able to adopt a child, provided at least one of them is a woman.
I think children deserve mothers. I'm for every gay right imaginable, just not when it impinges on the rights of other people. That is the core principle; my freedom to swing my fist ends where your nose begins.

I don't think any parent is defined by their sexual orientation, but no i don't see anything wrong with it.
Besides children don't really tend to think about their parents love life/ bedroom antics so again i find it a little weird to comment.
Maybe I just don't understand the question.

I'm quite biased on this as I prefer guys when it comes down to a relationship. But in all fairness I don't see why this should be an issue. A child, in this case, wouldn't be an accident or be a burden to the parents has they would have to seek either adoption or surrigation, which I'm sure is a more thorough process in regards to capability of the parents than how a male and female couple would become pregnant.
This leads on to how the child is more likely to two loving parents to help them grow into the adult they would like to become. I've heard the argument about how the child wouldn't get either a male or female influence and I quite like the single parent counter-argument to that. I'm sure the same-sex couple would have some friends of the opposite sex who can help the child with 'female' matters or 'male' matters.
Plus surely it would be preferable for a child to grow up in a 'household environment' (if you get what I mean) than an orphanage.
If anything, the child grows up with more tolerance towards homosexuality. I don't think it's a bad thing to have gay/lesbian parents, and I wouldn't be ashamed of having them myself 
In my opinion f someone wants a child and will love and cherish the child and look after the child they should have a child/children,it doesn't matter what their sexual orientation is.
I don't see what the big deal is who is anybody to dictate peoples lives for them i wouldn't be in to that sort of thing but i sure wouldn't judge gay people for wanting children its their life people should back off them and get on with their own life's

Interesting that you left out the latter part of that sentence.

Would you let a single guy adopt?

If the child was old enough to make that decision then yes; the same goes for two men. But I think for a young child (or from just after birth) there should be a woman involved.
I think you run a good chance of ruining someone's childhood, as they're bullied and humiliated for something they never got to choose.

Not really. Gay adoption doesn't infringe upon anyone's rights, so it was an irrelevant part of the sentence.
Also, do you think black people should be allowed to have children?

I specifically made clear my objection which was that I think it is the right of a child - a young child, at least - to have a mother. What on earth has the colour of someone's skin got to do with anything?
Gay adoption in itself does not infringe upon anybody's rights, but I believe that two men (or one man) adopting a child infringes upon that child's right to have a mother. It has literally nothing to do with the fact that the two men are gay. I could not care less about that.

Now there's a rarity: a post by Al-Mudaari that I could begin to agree with.
Why is nobody here mentioning the rights of the child? Children are also humans.
