Gay adoption is back on the agenda.

While not having a homophobic bone in my body, and working with an unusually high proportion of gay people, I can actually say 'I have a lot of gay friends'.

However, I have reservations about gay adoption. Not because I think that it will "turn the child gay" as some simpletons claim. But I do think it would be a very confusing upbringing for the child, and I think they would find it very hard adjusting and being accepted at school by their peers. I also think it might distort their view of relationships in ways we can't predict.

What do you think?

why not Will.........why will some kids not become gay.
Its a well known fact in medical and social services, that there is indeed a rub off affect from one person to another, if enough time is spent with them.

Just look at how good wholesum kids change when they knock around with hooligans and that is only the tip of the iceberg.What about the psycological changes which go unseen

gays,lesbians and single parents ( through choice ) are mostly to blame for the generation of hooligans currently growing up. The system was designed for man and woman. else thiswould be a planet with only men or woman.

Most of us were born and brought up in less then perfect situations.....unless you are the very lucky few.
As I have gotten older I can see how MY parents struggled at times with finance and general discipline and other stuff life threw at them.
Adoption in my opinion should short circuit the chance of poor or un prepared people bringing up children........by selecting people who have chosen to seek a child to give them a family.
This selection process should try to find the IDEAL for each child.....the ideal is a loving wife and husband in a stable relationship.......and not any couple who have chosen or been thrust into a relationship where children would not be the logical result.

The only real problem I can see is peer pressure. Kids can be horrid with even the smallest amount of ammo.

Children are bullied for a large number of reasons so having homosexual parents is not the only potential cause for a child's bullying problem at school. Nevertheless, it appears as if homosexuality is a major focus for derogatory terms for children to use at school (such as "that's so gay") and it provides far more ammunition for bullying than other bullying factors like race, weight, appearance, etc...

Even so, perhaps society's attitudes need to change.

If that's true, then how come straight couples have gay kids?

The idea that you learn to be gay is utter bollocks, it's clear to any sane person that it's genetic. In some cases, you can actually see this from physical characteristics.


Homosexuals are responsible for hooligans? Honestly bugsy, I had no idea you were this ignorant.

I think any amount of bullying can be overcome, and kids will always find something to pick on. But a kid getting bullied because he has two fathers, is going to get hurt that much more psycologically, I think. Not forgetting either, that as adopted children they've already had to deal with the rejection of their biological families. It's a lot to put a child through.

I don't doubt that gay couples love their children as much as any other parents, but this is something that is beyond their control.

straight couples have gay kids, because somewhere down their lineage, there were gays in the family. Same as how white parents have black kids......either the woman shagged around, or there was inter breeding in the lineage and every once so often, the genes align and bingo...

Why can homosexuals and single parents not be partly if not wholey respsonsible for their kids becoming hooligans ( not all, but a good number )

Its to do with the system rules being broken up and fiddled with. Marriage has for centuries...no eons, been the norm and now some dickhead decides that its all wrong and upsets the applecart.

Even though homosexuality may be gene related, it does not automatically make it right.The church is right to stand up for what it knows to be wrong.....and that is kids should not be placed with gay or lesbian couples, or singles for that matter. Will They also place kids with druggies when they claim their rights to do so?

If this countries cares about the plight of children, then its our moral duty to say no to this madness.

Bitching faggots will preach that faggotism is the norm....

Some will wear the kids as a medallion, saying see we can do it. Not because they wanted to do it, but just to prove a point.

Who is to say it isn't? not me, these are just my thoughts.

Casper

I don't think that’s a reliable reason to prohibit gay couples from adopting children.

Physically disabled couples are allowed to have children even though the risk of their child getting severely bullied for it is high, or should we now ban this sort of couple from having children?
