either I'M reading this wrong or YOU'RE reading this wrong. I said the complete opposite to that. I said that most gay parents would probably be better than the parents that we have today in the UK. You hear a lot of stories about baby killings in the news today, which is extremely worrying, all of them were done by same-sex parents. that's why i said i kinda agree with you.Quote:
Equally, consider what you just said. Gay parents are bad becuse people dislike gay people.
The response is to the text above it, not the text below it. You states "Yes, you are right about how it should be based around the children, and that's why I think it's unfair, because I don't think the children would of wanted the same-sex parents, it causes a lot of bullying and confusion for them."Quote:

Can they not adopt atm, like?:S:$
Anyway, I think they should have they right to, and it should be up to them whether they want to or not (obv). What I mean is, a gay couple wanting to adopt should think of how the kid would be treated. People in general find it hard to keep their nose out, so an adopted child with gay parents would get bullied most likely. Maybe in a few years when being gay isn't such a big thing, it will be easier for kids growing up with gay parents.
Although in order for it to become more socially accepted, people do have to start pushing the boundary. If gay adoption is not allowed now, then it will likely halt its progress in to becoming more socially accepted significantly, on the other hand, if its allowed, although it may be a little harder on some kids, those kids will grow up knowing having gay parents isnt a something bad an attitude they will pass on to there own kids, working the homophobia out of society in the coming generations :)Quote:

Well, it's either that, or the child stays in a foster home with no parents at all.
There are plenty of children in foster homes at the moment that need parents, if there was a shortage, perhaps as a society we'd be more selective on the parents who get to adopt a child. As it isn't, I'm all for gays adopting.
Well its kinda already happened/happening? Children have been adopted/raised by gap parents and turned out fine?Quote:

Quite a lot of kids that dont have 2 dads or 2 mums get bullied too?Quote:

Along with all the kids that think being tall/short/fat/thin/ginger/blond/black/white/mixed-race/any other possible aspect that can be different from another/ect ... is bad?Quote:
