Gay Marriage and adoption?

[guest10586]

I'm not gay and I will never fully understand it but I have thought about it. Obviously it will be legal that Gay union will be allowed the term "marriage." I personaly have no attachment to this term but I do see it as a threat when used in child adoption. Could they adopt under this new term (for gay people)?

I am all for adoption by single parents and couples but not gay couples. I just don't see this as natural. It is hard enough for a kid to grow up but introducing their parents as "Bob and Bob" might affect their life.

Thoughts? Good or bad?

More power to them. If they're loved and properly taken care of then why not? I'm sure a kid would prefer that as opposed to living in a orphanage. Having a mother and a father is no guarantee of a normal life anyways.

If their lives aren't complex enough as it is they want to introduce marriage into it? Then kids? Doesn't affect me so go crazy.

Gay couples are two consenting adults. A child is not. Just as it is wrong to put a child in a family where the parents are absentee and always working, it is wrong for gay adoption. It has nothing to do with discrimination. It has everything to do with biology.

huh? how can you say it has nothing to do with discrimination if you are saying it has to do with biology? what are you going to say next? white couples shouldn't be able to adopt chinese or black babies and vice versa. because "it has everything to do with biology" right?

there were statistics that showed gay couples raised children better than man-woman couples. I think its better than living in a boarding house.

By how many percentage points?

Jeez... Just when you think it's safe to go back into the forums, another flamebait gay thread pops up. Close this before it turns into another "gay people are normal and are equal VS. they're a bunch of sick perverts warping children" thread.

here we go again.

another thread where every religious conservative laments the further deterioration of society, or pseudo-liberals espouse how understanding they are, and that gays are equal--but only to a point.

either society accepts that gay people are equal, and thus can do everything that we heteros can do (such as marry or adopt children), or we don't.

as i've said before, without resorting to centuries-old prejudices contained in religious scripture, can anyone really say that gays are not equal???

gay people are a living, breathing, functioning part of our society. time to stop this blatant discrimination. if we, as heteros want to decry the erosion of civilization, we shouldn't go looking for scapegoats, we need to look in the mirror first.
