Re: Should homosexual couples be allowed to adopt childern?
[ QUOTE ]
Is homosexuality a learned behavior? [/ QUOTE ] No [ QUOTE ] Even if it isn't, should children be subjected to the ridicule that could come with having two parents of the same sex? [/ QUOTE ] It's up to the adoption agency. When people give up their children for adoption they would be able to choose between adoption agencies that do allow gay couples and agencies that don't. If nobody wants to give up their children to gay couples then so be it. My opinion is that if I had a child that I had to give up for whatever reason, I'd want him/her to go to a loving home, regardless of the sexuality of the parents. The alternative is being shuffled between foster homes or living in an orphanage. I would want to minimize the chance of this, so it would make sense for me to give my child to the agency with the largest possible availability of loving families, and that would be the one that included gay couples. Incidently, if the child is abandoned, then obviously whichever adoption agency winds up with them would make the decision. [ QUOTE ] Are there other long term development issues that could affect children negatively? [/ QUOTE ] Dunno, but I doubt it. [ QUOTE ] Is is solely a problem of perception and society that some people believe that homosexual couples should not be allowed to adopt? [/ QUOTE ] Absolutely.

Is homosexuality a learned behavior? [/ QUOTE ] Depends on who you ask. Gays hate this position since it confers a measure of responsibility. They prefer to be hapless vicitms of a bad gene. My guess, it's some of both. [ QUOTE ] Are there other long term development issues that could affect children negatively? [/ QUOTE ] Difficult to say. Small sample and such a huge motivation to bugger the research makes me skeptical of any study. Everyone has an axe to grind here. [ QUOTE ] How does this effect the traditional roles of the mother and father? [/ QUOTE ] It trashes one of civilization's most successful developments in the last 50,000 years. Other than that, no worries. I'm 100% comfortable with gay parents adopting gay children. I'm 100% in favor of gays adopting any child as a last resort. Other than that, I would prefer to err on the side of caution and would vote to prevent any gays from adopting str8 children.

[/ QUOTE ] So, while the genetic / environment breakdown for homosexuality is still up in the air, they can have no responsibility for their homosexuality with any percentage of said breakdown. For a simple example, is a crack-baby "responsible" for their addiction to crack? Really, the suggestion that someone would "choose" to be homosexual seems particularly stupid. If any rational person had the choice between flipping the switch between gay and straight, why would he ever choose gay?

[/ QUOTE ] As a straight man, I WISH I WERE GAY, cause women are [censored] insane. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I've strongly considered trying to have a relationship with a man despite ZERO attraction to men, but I'm just too attracted to women and unattracted to men to actually do it. If I could flip that switch to gay, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Tom and Harry getting married and adopting a child has no affect on Jane and Joe getting married and having children.

[/ QUOTE ] Its amazing how many people continue to spout the same inane rhetoric though no one has ever made sense of it. Marriage is trashed?
