Please debate your concern

Gays should have the same exact rights as everyone else. They are people too.

1) You can't turn a kid gay.
2) If the kid turns out gay, it doesn't have to immediately be a negative thing.
3) If this was your idea of a joke, GTFO of the debating section.

The families you know of may/may not necessarily have issues with bullying or harassment,and even if they did;I doubt they will tell you about it as these are delicate and serious issues only dealt with at home or with a therapist.
These “families” of same sex parents that you know of do not account for the majority and hence don’t tell the whole story.
What you don’t see or know of does not mean they don’t happen.
I don’t live in a bubble like some who thinks everything in life is rosy.
There’s good and bad in life(I’m sure you’re aware of).
Talk to people who counsel families with harassment or bullying(as I have) and you’ll see what I mean.
I have personally witnessed families that are affected by these issues,they ain't pretty and the kids fare worse off.
If gay adoption benefits the adult and child,I’d back it in a heartbeat.

The only problems that occur will occur when people with beliefs like you step onto the plate. I consider you an open-minded and reasonable person, but really?

Read carefully before you attack someone,as I have not stated I am against same sex marriage nor am I disgusted by them.
These are personal choices made by these individuals in which I totally respect.
I am an open minded person,but analyzing this from the child and adult perspective and see very little benefit to the child.

I ain’t blaming the parents numbnuts,i’m merely saying the benefits seem to err on the adults side.
Are all hatred pointless?
I don’t think so,as hate emanates for a certain reason.
The finger should not be pointed towards the thread starter,but society as a whole.
And until society as we know, accepts same sex marriages in equal measure to male/female relationships,there will always be question marks relating to gays.

i really couldn't give less of a shit, people make too big of a deal how people are as humans; black, mexican, irish, chinese, retarded, gay, lesbian or any other shit that's conditional to each person as a single human being.

im able to go about my days as i am without judgement being passed on me, not that id give a fugg if it was, yet others get singled out by insecure bastards that care too much.

even so, my vote was yes but conditionally on the grounds that the gay fathers don't subjest the kid to being just like them and allow the child to living their own lives as they want to, instead of being made wear flowers and rainbows and other bent shit.

other than that, what reason do i have to provide my unwanted opinion on others like it's gonna make gay people straight? each person should ask themselves this before entering stupid debates

To be honest I dont think so because i would feel sorry for the kid having two mommys or daddies and never getting the feeling of having a normal family.. And then when the kid goes to school like imagine how much he/she will get made fun of.. or if their parents would force them to have a certian sexuallity.

1. A couple who understood what being different feels like would never force anything like that on their kid.
2. It would be normal for them
3. He shouldn't even be getting made fun of

Well there are douche bags out there who will make fun of him/her for it like always
How would it be normal for the kid?
And I know a couple of the right mind wouldnt do that but theres always those people.

1. Normality is very adjustable. For me it is normal to have my dad take me to a fine dining restaurant on my birthday, and have the bill come up around $200. For others it isn't. Normal is just a word.
2. Look I understand racism and prejudices are still around, but they must be fought.
3. Honestly, they can't force their child to be gay. In fact, there is no possible way they could. Most of the population has a drive to partner up with females as it is on a subconscious level.

I will say, your first point is valid.
But normal is different for everyone. I don't know what it's like to have a family that hasn't divorced. To me, that seems like a foreign concept.
Gays, of all people, know what it's like to have sexuality [s]shoved down their throats[/s] forced on them. There's no way they'd do the same to their child.

Now, for my actual opinion. I'm going to say that they should be allowed to (as it is a basic human right), however, I would not encourage it. It is very common for the children of gay couples to be mocked and bullied for their parents' decisions. It's stupid and it's wrong, but people are just like that. They're stubborn and ignorant. The parents are not at fault. It's a sad truth that their kids will be bullied for no rational reason. As things are now, I don't think we're quite ready, as a whole, to completely accept deviations in sexuality. We're too reliant upon religion. It's stupid, but it's true. I'm not against the idea of gays adopting a child, but I am against the bullying. Since the bullying won't stop, I don't think it's fair to put more kids into that situation.
