Should gay people be allowed to adopt?

[Neversoft]

In my opinion, no.

[lAdmire]

I would say no because kids are mean. Imagine going on a school trip with both your parents & your friends & peers find out you ain't got a momma. You would probably be picked on. Or if they found out you don't have a daddy.

You need a fathers touch

A dad teaches you the boy stuff liek sports and stuff.

A mum teaches you how to be kind, cook etc.

I think thats a bit stereotypical of you tbh. Your saying that men only do masculine things and women only do feminine things. its not true.

Anway back on topic. I support gay adoption, I'm straight btw. I have a friend who has gay parents (lesbians) and no one makes fun of her, no one really knows tbh apart from her close friends. I dont think its such a problem. Whos to say that someone would be a bad parent because they are gay? everyone is different, theres some straight people out there who have kids but are terrible parents. and the people who say someone who is raised by gay people would mean they would grow up to be gay, 2 things with that, why is that such a bad thing? and its not true either because straight people who have kids, their kids dont always turn out straight do they?

Ellen Degeneres:
She is a great women who is kind and caring, whos to say she couldnt raise a child?


William Sledd:
he has said his ultimate dream is to adopt a child. he is a nice happy caring person, whos to say he couldnt look after a child?

I think they should be allowed to adopt, not really fair.

But then it could be unfair on the kid aswell.

If we're letting them adopt, we should let them drive, get jobs, go on the bus.

Basically, it's not fair to not let them adopt.

Then you just say back to them "Get with the times. I have no problems but you sure do! I am happy with my two dads. Go bully someone with a reason." Bullies are normally social rejects, so I guess they'll bully over something as trivial as same sex parents...

I think most kids, including me, wouldn't want to be bought up with two gay parents (boy/boy or girl/girl) because of the embarrassment and maybe bullying while they are at school.

If I put myself in a situation such as:

"Kid in class: What are your parents' names?
Me: Jack and Bob
Kid in class: hahahaha"

I would hate it.

[tart]

Yea they should,

Only idiots Would bully, There would be No need to Bully, Everyone Mainly Gets Bullied During school. and whats to say they are going to know that his Foster-Parents are gay? only his friends would know and they arnt gunna bully him are they.

I totally agree with your point however there are idiots out there that bully.

I hate the whole "no because they'd get bullied in school." People get bullied for everything... that's like saying "we shouldn't allow fat people to have children because they're likely to get a fat child who'll get bullied in school."
It's the same with the whole "children need a mother/father figure in their life." So, what if a father in a family dies then the children have to be taken away from their mother?

There's this girl who was in my old school, her parents were both women, her mum was lesbian after having her and broke up with the girl's father. But the point is that she had two mothers living with her--but she got on fine. I didn't even know untill half-way through year 11. It's not like it's compulsory for a child to tell everyone that his/her parents are gay.

[RedStratocas]

i don't see why not. this kind of stuff has to start somewhere. eventually it will be a common thing. it's like divorce, kids used to get picked on for having divorced parents, but now it's so common.

If I put myself in a situation such as:

"Kid in class: What are your parents' names?
Me: Jack and Bob
Kid in class: hahahaha"

i cant think of any time when someone asked what my parents' names were :/

[Ezzie.]

Yes they should, im straight btw.
