whatgreatis 0 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Today at work me and this guy I work with were having a discussion on letting gay couples adopt. He's against it because he believes it will hurt the childs development. I'm for it because as long as the couple loves the child and treats it well it doesn't matter if they like to have butt sex.Whats your thoughts on the subject? Link to post Share on other sites

Therefore, gay couples can adopt./argument Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The kid won't know that having two dads isn't normal,Until he goes to school and gets made fun of unmercifully for 12 years.Yea, but thats a fair exchange for 2 gay guys to pretend they are just like everyone else. Why can't they pretend they are into women long enough to have kids, and then visit them every other month like straight guys? Link to post Share on other sites

Royal_Tour 0 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hmmm......gay couples should be allowed to adopt (female babies).. I dunno... Im not saying they shouldnt be allowed to adopt, but If two dudes adopt a boy kid, and the kid grows up in pink and rainbows and lisps and techno music..well chances are he;s going to be sexing some butt too. and not that there is anyting wrong with that..

whatgreatis 0 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 <--ignorant and intolerant...maybe a tad homophobic as well.Yeah, I just threw that out there to get the discussion going. Although I do believe that its intolerant.A whole group of people who are otherwise normal except for their sexual preference want to have a family and you would deny them of that because they kid might get made fun of? What if my mom is fat? Is she not able to have a family because kids at school might pick on me for that too? Link to post Share on other sites

Going back in history you can replace "two dads" with a number of different things...and in each instance society just needed time to get used to it before it was eventually accepted. 2. I think you'd have to talk to some children of gay parents about their experiences before making assumptions about how awful their lives must have been. Of course they were made fun of sometimes, but who knows what they'd say.Why can't they pretend they are into women long enough to have kids, and then visit them every other month like straight guys?It's a reasonable point.One issue is that there are way more kids out there that need parents than there are people looking to adopt. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find many (non fundamentalist christian) experts who say that a child is better off in an orphanage or passed between foster parents than with a loving gay couple for their whole lives.

If I did I'd have an account at Justin.tv by now.Gay parents > no parents AINECI think gays are the most discriminated group in America today.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find many (non fundamentalist christian) experts who say that a child is better off in an orphanage or passed between foster parents than with a loving gay couple for their whole lives.I'd be very hard pressed because I never read anything written by anyone but people that agree with me. It's done wonders for my self-esteem. And let's face it, self esteem is the single most important gift we can give ourselves.And the wait time for adoption sometimes approaches 12 months, so I don't know if you can really say there are more kids then people that want them.

LadyGhey 0 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 And the wait time for adoption sometimes approaches 12 months, so I don't know if you can really say there are more kids then people that want them.That's because there is a screening process, fees to pay and so forth, not because there aren't enough kids available.
