Second, you are assuming that children are automatically going to be bullied. That's a "what if?" That's not enough to argue that gays should not be allowed to adopt children. The problem would be society's, not gay's. I could then ask, "Should a Jewish couple adopt a child who was raised Christian?" or, "Should a black couple adopt a white child?" You are allowing a slim minority's bigotry, dictate whether or not people should be allowed to adopt and have families. You've got unwanted children all over the place.
Third, when I said Jew, I meant ethnicity, something no one picks. I was not referring to religion.
"I also disagree with being gay as a whole. "
Replace "gay" with:
"I also disagree with being a Jew as a whole. "
or
"I also disagree with being black as a whole. "
No one choose these things. That's the point.

Your whole argument relies on whether being gay is chosen or not. There is loads of evidence to suggest that it is in your upbringing and is decided within the first 2 or so years.
