Why? Do you think we’re all pedophiles? Or that we will spread gay to kids? Move past your stereotypes based on lies and hate.

What about adopting your partner’s children so the children can have stability in the event of your partner’s death. Or adopting a deceased/infirm family member’s child? Adopting strangers’ children is nearly unheard of these days in Ireland.

Of course I don’t think gay people are paedophiles. I have a couple of gay friends and my boss is gay. Nicest people in the word. Coincidently I am also adopted.

I have no issue with adopting a child that you are a pre-existing relationship with in the event of a death. It’s the adopting a strangers child I am unsure about. I’m not saying I am set against it I am simply unsure whether it’s something I would be comfortable with. I feel the balance a child would get from a different sex couple would somehow be more beneficial for a child. Having said that I’m sure many children would be better of with a settled gay couple as parents as opposed to the life many children have.

So I guess I’m looking for someone to convince me :)

On a related note the gay couple in modern Family with the Asian kid are gas.

John, the best social science and psychology research shows that children brought up by same-sex parents are indistinguishable from children brought up by opposite-sex parents. In fact, some studies show marginal advantages for children raised by lesbian couples.

As an aside, while adoption is important, it is relatively uncommon; conversely, the foster care system is overwhelmed. Same-sex couples are eligible to foster.

What could be more natural then two consenting adults in love? Noting could be more unnatural than denning the existence of love.. marriage is first and for most about love. There fore same sex couples should be aloud to marry.

You are ok biff if they stand up then?

Unnatural: hundreds of animals exhibit homosexual behaviour aside from the more complex gay behaviour of the human animal. We are not apart from nature, we are part of nature. Unproductive: We should get right down to legislating against those heterosexuals who are unable to conceive from marrying. Quick, before society crumbles and our species dies out from the decrease in breeding.
