skymama 37 #3 March 26, 2002 Of course, and for all the reasons why I should be able to.I haven't yet heard of a good reason why they shouldn't be able to.AndreaThe brave may not live forever, but the timid may not live at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #4 March 26, 2002 No reason why not. There are enough perfectly screwed up heterosexual couples that the gender of the "parents" is the least of the issues. Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,079 #6 March 26, 2002 That's like asking "should people kill fetuses?" Sorta odd way to ask about abortion. I think a better question would be "should there be a law against a gay couple adopting a child?"To answer that one - if they meet all the criteria that any other adoptive parents meet, then there is no reason they shouldn't be able to adopt. The objective is to get unwanted children into loving homes, and excluding one part of the possible parent pool because of homophobia doesn't make a lot of sense.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfields 0 #16 March 26, 2002 Or, to bait a little bit.....I see same-gender couples parenting as much less problematic than say.... traditional parents that happen to be right-wing religious fundamentalists.Just my counter-trolling $.02.

rhino 0 #17 March 26, 2002 I have mixed feelings about the issue..I would tend to say no it isn't o.k. Kids have a hard enough time growing up without having to explain why they have two moms or dads.. That is a thought process they shouldn't have to deal with until much later in life.I think it is even better for a child to be adopted by one parent than a gay couple.. It's easier for a child to explain "my dad or my mom" adopted me than the alternative..I have talked to kids raised by Gay parents in the past. They tend to be jaded. Some are some aren't. Some only know that as their way of life so they thing it is normal. Do I agree with it? No I don't agree.This is my opinion.. No one has to agree...Rhino Semper Fi ..... http:// www.aahit.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #18 March 26, 2002 yes. Probably do a damn sight better than some of the "straight" people I know. What does the sexual preference of a person have anything to do with the ability to be a good parent? Furthermore......kids need to be loved and there are tens of thousands of them that need a loving home.It only takes a little pixie dust...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
