Yes, gay people should be allowed to adopt. My family fosters children who are in care for various reasons, and while I think fostering is a good thing in the short term, I have seen what being moved from foster-home to foster-home over several years does to children's psyche.

Most people who adopt want a child under two, with the same colour skin as them and with no disabilities, the other less "perfect" children are left trapped in the system until they get old enough to be booted out with no parents and no support to fall back on.

Anything that even slightly increases the number of suitable parents willing to take on the more challenging kids and give them a stable environment and better chance at life is wonderful.

People say "what about the kids having to deal with gay parents", well what about the kids who are institutionalized in children's homes, or get shifted to a new foster-family every few months/years?

These kids need stability, love and understanding, and will happily take it from gay people, bi people, transgendered people, because when you've been through what a lot of them have been through, those things are not important.
