What do you think of this anti-religious statement.

Since I am an agnostic, I have nothing against gays. I think gays should have the same opportunities as any other couple. It would empty many orphanages because all gay couples would have to adopt. Seriously, it would work out so well.

I think you are being a bit oversimplistic here - even for gay couples there would be race, sex and age preferences that would keep orphans from being adopted.

Not only that, in some years lesbian couples will be able to have biological daughters by ovum-ovum fertilization.

 

OT - I'm agnostic with some buddhist tendencies and I have nothing against homossexuals, and also I do not rant against religion simply because I'm irreligious. It is important to adopt a moderate stand. Extremism have always been linked with lower intelligence and lower lifespans :P

I agree, but it would be definitely be moving adoptions in the right direction. Lesbians are little more difficult to have adoptions due to being biologicallly capable of reproducing using sperm banks. I don't like to think that I'm an Extremist, but I do believe in civilization in which all people have equal rights to do anything without violationg other people's rights. Gay marriage does not hurt anyone.

Just as a side note, I’m not certain whether homosexual couples adopting would have any impact on orphanages.

I don’t have the exact statistics in front of me, but the waiting list for adopting a baby throughout most of the western world is several years long (4 or 5 years last I heard) and children that are too young to be in school are rarely orphans for longer than it takes to complete the paperwork on an adoption. Unfortunately, after the age of (about) 8 or 10 years old a child stands almost no chance of being adopted because people assume that these children are damaged; which is often the case. People are willing to go to the trouble of adopting children from foreign countries (where it is likely that the child has fetal alcohol syndrome and will be maladjusted and violent) than to adopt an older child.

I see no reason to believe that homosexual couples would not have this bias
