You do know the actual sociological research done on gay adoption shows that it is better then a Single parent right... and just about average with a "conventional" family right?

i love how everyone is fighting for rights and freedoms...

unless that right is to have my opinion and base it one my views then of course lets mock and ridicule me for that b/c that makes everything better right?

i mean how dare someone in the united states have a differnt opinion and still be treated with respect while having a discussion, how dare a concept like that be considered

i do not agree with the issue at hand but i still have been respectful to others i would like the same in return please

I agree with you on this, but the big problem is that there are more male/female couples willing to adopt than there are kids to be adopted in the U.S.  So the big question would be is gay adoption the same as conventional?

I'm sure if there ever were need for children, gay adoption will be allowed, but what about now?

Are you trying to say that there's an overabundance of families waiting for kids to adopt? That all kids are being adopted as soon as they need to be placed? Are you high? Bring some factual evidence to back up that claim.

There may be "waiting" families, but generally that's because many, many couples looking to adopt want only an infant, not some older kid who may have been messed up by someone else. Lots of the "older" kids (and lots of couples consider 2-5 years old "too old" to want to adopt them) end up floating around temporary foster situations until adulthood. You don't think a stable, loving same sex household would be preferable to that?

One word: equality.

Everybody gets to marry. Everybody gets to adopt. Separating any group and saying "these rights are for everybody but you" is a civil rights violation. Nobody is forcing your religion to love gay people. You can preach your hate until the end of days. Gay people don't want to get married in your gay-hating churches, really. They have their own gay churches and sexuality-neutral churches, and they can have their friends get ordained online and have their service wherever they feel like (just like straight people do), or they can get it handled in court like I did.

Annually there are about 135,000 kids in waiting, but many of them are in process of being adopted and being put into foster care.

I do believe there are differences between infant adoption and older kids being put into foster care.

There are waiting lists of parents who are willing to adopt newborn, and many can't wait so they opt to adopt from another country. 

Foster care is a tough one though.  I do knowa gay couple who are fostering - and I don't have a problem with that.   I don't know why you would think otherwise.

btw, no I am not high.  haven't done that since college days.  Thanks for asking.

I think people are mainly uncomfortable with this situation because of their perception that foster kids living with same-sex parents would confuse them while growing up. The fact is that things are changing and as a country, the laws need to be adjusted to that change, regardless of how resistant various religions are to the change.

I'm a Christian myself but don't see how restricting people's civil rights is productive to a positive and growing society.
