Children deserve to have both a female and a male role model in their life, preferably their parents. I'm not homophobic, if people want to pick those flowers or tickle them pickles let them.. I just don't think it should involve children unless it's their own child from a past relationship then it's 100% up to them if they want to bring a child up like that.

Wait, so - if it's their child from a past relationship, but if it's adopting one it's not okay? I don't see how that works? :S

You could be brought up by 2 women and still lead a happy life, and it's the same with 2 males

I'm not saying it does work :S I'm just saying it's their child they can do what they want, you can hardly take a child away from its mother because she decides to turn to carpet.

P.s
My point is about gay people in general not just men.

But if the mother is willing to give up the baby for adoption anyway, they obviously don't care. If a gay couple want to adopt you then know the baby is going to be looked after, isn't that what you would want? The baby to be looked after and live a happy life?

I agree, a family friend cannot replace the role of the traditional family with a mother and father.

I'll reply to Tom's post in more detail later/tommorow.

I'm not going to argue with you, if you don't like my opinion ignore it. A child deserves both a female and male role model in their life. I don't agree with gay people adopting children, loving people or not.

How dare you say a mother doesn't care if they put their child up for adoption, some people just aren't in the right state of mind and could possibly be living in a bad environment, so in the childs best interest they try find them a loving home. To answer your question, no, I'd prefer a child to be adopted by a couple both male and female.

My mum was adopted by three sisters and brought up by them and she turned out alright. Explain that away.

I didn't mean it as though a mother doesn't care, althought some don't - and of course I respect your opinion. It's just the fact that homosexual people are being treated so much differently, yet they are so alike. Why's it so wrong that they want to be normal and want to have a child, but can't because they like the same sex? It's not their fault!

I never said anyone would be messed up lol everyone is different, I'm not sure if you discussed it with your mum but she could feel a sense of loss for not having a male role model growing up?

I have discussed it many times with her and she feels she had no "sense of loss" whatsoever.
