Let's Be Serious Again: Do you support Gay Adoption?

[Ironman26]

No

 

[CoolazzFemale]

As long as that child is in a stable and safe loving enviorment. It doesn't matter to me.

 

[colicolicoli]

Yes. I have a gay uncle who has raising his niece by himself for like 5+ years now. I see no problem w/ it. I do feel sorry for gay couples that want to adopt because even if they are able to adopt it's not gonna be easy. It's hard for straight couples to adopt...it's gonna be even harder for gay couples.

There should be another spinoff thread about should single people be able to adopt (they can, it's just very hard). Whereas there is almost no legit documented evidence of there being a huge difference between being raised by gays vs straight parents, being raised by a single parent does have a lot of documented negatives.

Notice people who say no have no logical reasoning other than they just hate gay people or their lifestyle.

i just think its bad for male/female gender roles

 

[Shadow]

I don't care. In the last week a woman burned her son's testicle and another woman had sex with her 16 year son.

Not to mention several stories in the past of people drowning they're kids, sexually abusing them, starving them, etc. These people are not involved in gay couples, in the grand scheme of things are gay couples that bad? Don't they have the ability to raise and take care of a kid just like a straight couple does?

The way I see it is as long as they take care of their kid, feed them and don't abuse them, I'm fine with it.

Oh, so you'd like for your children to be placed into little boxes defining how they're supposed to act. Why don't you just let a kid be a kid. 50 years ago Pink was for boys and Blue was for girls, gender roles change with time. People are so concerned that every little minor detail is gonna fukk a kid up. Oh no, they may not understand gender roles.

shyt is totally unnatural.Men and women just have to find our roles again.There's to much discord amongst the sexes.Once you fall out of touch with your nature, you never know what types of perversions may come to light.


The natural order is there.It's perfectly balanced on a primary level.It's the shyt that we put into our minds that's fukking everything up.

Having a mother and a father is the best way to balance a child out.In your life, you're going to deal with both men and women, no matter what sex you are.

You're parents are the first representation of that.


I know they might throw a fire ball at me for saying it, but I think being attracted to the same sex is a mental illness.It's a handicap that we have to figure out how to cure.

Let's see that documentation

i'm saying they need good examples of what a woman and man should be like

How about what a human should be like? Women and men are not that different. Are all single parent kids fukked up because they didn't have "good examples" of what a woman and man should be like?

Children are resilient creatures. They'll be ok.

Let's see that documentation

Family Structure. Children of single parents were at higher risk of physical abuse and of all types of neglect and were overrepresented among seriously injured, moderately injured, and endangered children. Compared with their counterparts living with both parents, children in single-parent families had
a 77-percent greater risk of being harmed by physical abuse (using the stringent Harm Standard) and a 63-percent greater risk of experiencing any countable physical abuse (using the Endangerment Standard);
an 87-percent greater risk of being harmed by physical neglect and a 165-percent greater risk of experiencing any countable physical neglect;
a 74-percent greater risk of being harmed by emotional neglect and a 64-percent greater risk of experiencing any countable emotional neglect;
a 220-percent (or more than three times) greater risk of being educationally neglected;
an approximately 80-percent greater risk of suffering serious injury or harm from abuse or neglect;
an approximately 90-percent greater risk of receiving moderate injury or harm as a result of child maltreatment; and
a 120-percent (or more than two times) greater risk of being endangered by some type of child abuse or neglect.

Among children in single-parent households, those living with only their fathers were approximately one and two-thirds times more likely to be physically abused than those living with only their mothers.

For example, children from single-parent homes may be more likely to drop out of school, and they are also more vulnerable to alcohol and drug use.
Children from single-parent families had twice the incidence of psychiatric illness, suicide attempts and alcohol abuse problems compared with those from two-parent homes [source: Meikle]. Other studies have shown that kids living with single parents have lower self-esteem.
Compared to kids from two-parent families, they tend to get lower grades, suffer more absenteeism, and have more problems relating to peers and teachers. Their drop-out rate is higher, and they're less likely to attend college [source: Psychology Today]. Children raised by one parent are also more likely than their peers to exhibit problems like increased aggression and anxiety and to have trouble getting along with their parents

 

[IceCold]

no

 

[Seven1986]

If a child can be adopted by someone that will love them unconditionally and be there for them no matter what than their sexual orientation shouldn't matter.
