Sorry to bring back this thread... but I know people have this opinion... and I figured I'd post this news article...
Lesbian asks courts to deny gay adoption


EDIT: and apparently I don'tk now how to put urls, but fixed now.

I don't agree with this btw... I think it's crap.

It should be allowed.

I couldn't care less, I'm not gay, and I know very few gay people.  If they wanted me to support it, I would, because they're my friends.

I'm not against gay marriage at all, but i dont like the idea of them adopting a child, for the simple fact that the poor kid would probably be teased at school and i'd hate it tbh, lol . Uhm, and most importantly ( cause i think it's really important for a kid to have a mum, a female image.

Let me give you an example of someone without a female model, someone who gets off fine.

Whether there is 1 father and 1 mother, 2 mothers, or 2 fathers, as cookie said, it all depends on the education and not the gender of the parents. I currently live with my dad, and not with my mother. Divorce. This is an issue that, regardless of gay marriage laws and etc, exists, and is the major cause for kids without a female/male image. Many times, the child in question sees more one parent than the other. In my case, my mother outright told me never to go back again. Down went the female image. Has it made me a worse person? Not really. I manage my life fine, and it doesn't affect the way everything else in my life goes. It's not an issue what the parents are like inside their pants, but an issue of how the parents treat their children, and how the parents teach their children.

So it seems there is more people for gay marriage. Great to see I think. I am still interested in Chris's final reply as he said I missed some things.

Entirely for it. No reason at all that it should be a problem. The arguments about it traditionally being a ceremony between a man and a woman are ridiculous, there are many other traditions that have changed as we became less ignorant. Marriage is also traditionally a religious ceremony, but I very much doubt that the majority of people getting married today (in places like the UK, at least) are religious. If people dislike the idea of it because it's traditionally for different-sex couples, they obviously have a problem with gay people whether they'll admit it or not.

As for the matter of gay couples adopting children, I see no reason why there should be a problem for the child. I haven't studied psychology, so I'm not pretending I know all about it , but when a child has two same-sex parents who love and care for it, it is surely better than a child who has had one of its parents abandon it at a young age, leaving it with either an all-male or all-female influence (which isn't exactly uncommon - especially here in chavland ). The child is going to experience hundreds of different people (as well as plenty of other couples, so it's not going to have the idea that same-sex couples are "the norm") as it grows up, so it'll have plenty of female figures in its life (neighbours, teachers, aunts, grandmas...)

I'm fine with gay marriage. gays raising children its fine as well. as long as the couple is financial stable and completely supportive i don't see a reason why they cant have a child. as for the mother figure ... there are plenty of other female role models for the child

(EX: grandma, aunts, friends etc)

I'm a curious person, as you already know, and I'd like to hear why you think marriage should be between a man and a women. I'm not going to troll you or anything, I'm just curious .

How is it not normal? In todays society it's everywhere. It's been happening for quite some time now, but has recently became an "issue" for the government.
