Please debate your concern

They wouldn't need protecting [from this] though if people just backed gay adoption and acted as if it was perfectly normal. Racism was rife for a long, long time. Do you think we got to where we are today by saying that blacks shouldn't have kids because they'd be ridiculed in school? No. I needn't say anymore than that.

I see your point, and I am fine with them adopting.

Like has previously been stated I say no for the sake of the child having a (mostly) normal life and not having to deal with possible ridicule/harrasment from their peers

You are wrong, they are affecting the child's life.

Okay guys I'm copy/pasting this post I made on page 3, sums up very briefly along with my other posts why your arguments are no good.

Alright, let's take a step back here.

Homosexual couples are more than capable of providing a loving, healthy lifestyle for children, as has been proven time and time again. I don't even know why I have to explain it the way I just did. Just because the parents may be gay doesn't mean the kids going to automatically be gay, either. And even if the kid turned out gay, why the hell does the matter? Additionally, I know families where this is the case (excluding the homosexual kid thing), and I know heterosexual couples that neglect the SHIT out of their kids. It has NOTHING to do with sexuality. It has to do with the people (in this case the parents) in general. If you're fit to be a parent in accordance with society's standards, you're fit to be a parent in accordance to society's standards. And I'm not referring to sexual orientation here.

Second, the only problems that happen will happen because no one has the god-damned balls to stand up for kids with homosexual parents when they're being bullied. You all claim you're open-minded, but you have to "think about the children". Then why the hell aren't YOU thinking about the children? Instead of being against it "because the kid(s) would have a hard time growing up", maybe you should get off your ass and do something about it. Sitting around and denying homosexuals their right to adopt because you're too scared isn't fair at all. Why deny the kids a great home? The kids I know NEVER get bullied, they're healthy kids; into sports, have lots of friends, parents/adults love them, etc.

Stop assuming things are the same everywhere, and when things aren't looking good for a certain group of people, take action. Any other kid that was getting bullied, I bet you'd be damn quick to help. But "oh, this kid's parents are gay. Nope! It's not worth the backlash."

Furthermore, prove to me there's something unnatural about it. Prove to me that it NEVER happens in nature. Oh... you can't. I could certainly show you it does, though.

(This isn't directed at you Vaner, please don't take it personally. I went to reply to your comment, and things just flowed out. Dx)

Who cares if they adopted? My brother is gay and could probably be a better parent then most people. Having gay parents will not mess up a kids life, it's the ignorant shits that make a big deal about it that cause a problem.

There is no reason why not. Although it would not be fair on the child, as he does not have a say in the matter. But, the way people live their lives should be respected by everyone. There should be no laws against gays adopting, as it's their lifestyle. Whoever makes the laws must be so self-centered.

The same can be said for kids being raised by religious parents, alcoholic parents, overly-strict parents etc etc. Being raised by gay parents is the least of a potential newborn's worries, if anything having gay parents would be a bonus as they would teach you equality and openness.
