You may as well ask, "Should black people be able to adopt."

For people that say they are "split," what century are you living in? I can't believe how ignorant people are. The UK has a long way to go if they are still asking if gays should be allowed to adopt. lol.

I feel like I'm reading opinions from the 1800s.

Not really, if it were opinions from the 1800's there would be insults being thrown.

People here are thinking for the kid, including the gay people themselves.

I think they deserve the right to adopt.

There's nothing to think about. These arguments are nonsensical and from another era.

So the child getting possibly getting bullied and people having more care for the child than themselves is nonsensical?

I disagree with gay adoption. I also disagree with being gay as a whole. Does that make me a bad person with 1800s views?

(just to clarify I don't have a problem with gay people, its just being gay as a concept itself)

That makes you one of the most ignorant, bigoted, backwards people around. Good luck to you.

Personally I think that makes you the ignorant one for failing to accept some people do not have a politically correct view just to please the masses, and for not even knowing the reasonings so automatically putting your own opinions above mine

[Wildcat!]

OK, this is my take on it. Please dont shoot me! I dont think it should be allowed, because a kid need a mother and a father, male and female, as role models. And I dont necessarily think kids should be raised in a same sex relationship.
On the other hand, there are children that dont find suitable places to be adopted in, so its a dillema really. I mean some kids raised in foster homes, dont feel loved and pretty much feel like tenants. SO I guess at the end of the day, given the circumstances, they should be allowed to adopt.

Bigotry is not a political correctness issue. There is no excuse.

Firstly, I could argue you are the bigot for being intolerant of non politically correct views.

Secondly, my view is not a bigoted view. I'm accepting of gay people and whether people are gay or not does not influence my opinion of them in the slightest. I just disagree with it. There is a huge difference.

I'll wait to reply to a person who doesn't play the straw man.

I have to say I agree with this to an extent, but its mainly because of the beliefs of our culture in general. For example, a kid would be bullied at school about it, but only because the other children won't have been taught that it's okay

[Wildcat!]

I dont know Leitman, you can be opposed to gay adoption or same sex relations, without being a biggot. I mean its not like he is campaigning for people to stop being gay. He simply doesnt agree with it. ANd there a grounds for that, which cant be ignored. religion could be a reason, and just personal feeling about it. The main think is to not discriminate against someone who is different, and to be accepting of differences. But you dont have to agree with it!

You're the biggest bigot in this thread tbh and clearly you're discriminating against people who don't have the same views as you by dismissing them as a bigot

OH yeah, thats another thing, I hadnt really thoght of that to be honest. But I think kids are pretty well educated about gay relationships these days arent they?
To be honest, I would like to hear from a kid who is raised by gay parents or someone who knows about it, to give an opinion. I think thats the best way to find out, by asking these kids how it is for them!
