Let me put this way, since I'm gay, and hope to adopt when I'm older.

There are thousands of children in adoption homes who have no chance of parents adopting them because straight couples like to have their own kids. Obvs there's expections, but generally, most aren't adopted. chances are they'd have a better life if they were adopted, regardless of who by.

They'd get bullied? Maybe so, but I believe they shouldn't be. We're in an age now where people should learn to accept you for who you are and even though it don't always happen like that, it should. Also, I'm presuming most of you are talking about young kids, but what about 8-13+ year olds? They sometimes get a say in who adopts them, and if they didn't want to be adopted by a gay couple, they can say so. More than likely they'll be appreciative of the opportunity.

I completely disagree with Checkmate's choice of words. You saying that they should have a 'normal' family, a male and female rolemodel. What if you're a single parent? Single mom's with a son for example. He won't have a father figure. Like a son with two dad's, no mother figure. Whoever said it earlier about the child turning gay, maybe they will, maybe they won't, but whatever they end up, they'll probably be accepting of everyone's sexualities, and it'd be great if they did.

So yeah, I believe they should. Maybe I'm biased but evs.
My opinion.
