Is Homosexual Adoption Right? (ENDS 24/7/11)

[Tom]

So you think incest couples should be able to adopt? I'm pretty sure that a household with those morals wouldn't be suitable in raising a child. I'm one for equal rights, but when those equal rights violate the rights of an innocent child, that's where it needs to be stopped.

Hmm, I suppose you're right there in a way. If an incest couple do adopt it's not right and it's not good for the child's 'well-being'.

Okay, but everything else should be acceptable?

This is a hard topic, because I think that a gay couple should be able to adopt however, as other people have said, it does increase the risk of bullying to the child ,but with people becoming more open minded, I think in a few years time, this will no longer be a problem and I can't see why a gay couple who have had all the necessary background checks shouldn't be able to adopt. Since no one has provided scientific evidence that children need both a mother and father figure, this shouldn't be an issue.

Proof of why we need strong traditional families can be found on estates around the country, there is no way to scientifically 'measure' the traditional family. However if you examine this country from when divorce was made easier, you will find a strong relation/a direct link between the breakdown of households and during the period of time from the 1960s onwards. Social attitudes were very negative to the breakup of marriage, and viewing the results of marriage breakup - was that such a bad thing? I think not.

With homosexual adoption, the roles of mother and father figures can't be replaced and thats the prime reason why I am against.

You're right of course, loveless households are great places for children to grow up and everyone with divorced parents is a criminal

No,because a single parent raising a child, a alcoholic father raising a child, a loveless couple raising a child are all different to a gay couple raising a child. I find it hard to accept that you can compare an estate family with a gay couple raising a child.

I haven't said that at all, infact I rather feel sorry for all sides - they're victims of social changes which have cheapened marriage from the 60s onwards.

I'm comparing the lack of a father figure and mother figure and the results from that.

As i said earlier, my mother was brought up by three sisters. Do you oppose that?

It was better than her going into state care away from the family, but yes it would have been much better had she had been in a traditional family. Had she gone into state care (if there had been nobody to look after her) then hopefully she would have ended up as part of a traditional family.

Oh yes, two people trapped in a loveless marriage with children stuck in the middle. That must be very healthy for them. I think not.

That isnt the way my mother sees it but obviously she turned out wrong so ill let you off.
