I found it a ridiculous arguement and was trying to provide an analogy...

you argued against generalizations about groups of people, by using a generalization about a dfferent group of people.

when deciding who adopts children all factors are taken into account, economics, employment, stable relationships, health, criminal record, education, everything...hes percetly entitled to his opinion, though he does seem to have worded it very poorly...the figures show gay couples are less stable than hetrosexual ones on average,also that a child with a mother and a father has a better chance of a successful life, but its absurd to say its the case for all couples?.ive not studied this subject so I dont know who is best suited, obviously a warm caring loving honest decent person sounds like essential prerequisites to me. I do wonder if part of his quote has been deliberately left out by trouble making journalists though
