there is no need to be rude. HE is just putting forth his opinion on the matter! YOure not gonna shut him down by calling him an idiot!
Someone told me that it doesnt make it any higher of a chance of being gay. However, I havent seen any statistics to prove that. I have even tried to research it! Its not crazy for someone to assume that a childs sexuality will be influenced by his parents. I would personally think that it does. BUt I dont have any facts to back it up!

I can't believe at how many ignorant forum members there are.

The most important thing for a child is having a stable, loving family. If the parents happen to be gay, so what? The bullying argument doesn't really stand in my opinion. Yes, kids will bully anyone who is "different". If gay adoption was freely accepted, in time it would move away from this stigma. It's similar to when divorce was a lot less common. 20 years ago, a child would have been bullied for having separated parents, but nowadays children wouldn't even acknowledge it.

Yeah, well these days some kids get laughed at for wearing glasses.. Just proves what type of world we live in. But laughing at someone for having gay parents.. Well yea, they probably would bully them

[Kate..]

Yes!

[Indierock&roll]

[Saph]

you cant use the bullying as a arguement esp comparing it to kids who get laughed at for wearing glasses that certainly not a 'these days' thing i got it for having glasses over 15 yrs ago people will always unfortunaly be bullied for any little thing that makes them different that could be hair colour body size sexuality for wearing glasses i could go on and on and on listing them but i wont and i cant see how the bullying can be used as a reason as to why gay people cant adopt as long as they bring the child with all the love and care they care give what does it matter on the sexuality of them

I think its up the the couple if they want to, I'm gay and I would never adopt altho I'm only 18 so i dunno if I would in the future.

I wouldn't want the child to be bullied when they are school because of it, kids are cruel and could ruin their lives.

The question wasn't if every gay couple SHOULD adopt. Of course it's up to the individuals themselves.
They're asking if they should be ALLOWED. And in my opinion, no they should not

[Ross]

Yes they should be allowed.

just a tip
don't try to be funny with a topic which is sensitive to a minority of people

MINORITY? Wow, do you not realise just how many people are gay or bisexual nowadays?

[Fom]

Reading other peoples comments, I change my decision on this. I think they should, my only negative was the child would be bullied, but to be fair. Kids get bullied for everything these days!

This study has been widely quoted to prove that children raised by gay parents are not more likely to become gay themselves. The authors acknowledge their results demonstrate that young adults are more likely to consider trying out and actually engaging in homosexual relationships.

However, they say their analysis of the results do not support the idea that the actual sexual orientation of children is significantly different based on having a lesbian mother.

Because these 'studies' are oh so reliable?

[Fom]

I don't think what happens in your life has anything to do with if your gay or not, its something you are born with! If thats the case why aren't all the kids of straight people straight? Why do some turn out gay? Thats a stupid thing to say!

[Ross]

I agree with Fom.

But be honest... if any of you had the chance you'd love to have a Lesbian couple as your parents. Half of you are so narrow-minded it's unreal.

Note: This is to people saying that if you have gay parents you'd turn out gay.

[andyman]

The child would grow up with the idea of what not to wear..

Actually there is a theory going round that about 90% of the population are a little bit Bisexual, just a lot of them are not willing to discover it. Most people have flirted with the same sex, and I bet nearly everyone in this forum has had a moment where they have gone 'ooo he/she is fit' in their heads.
I personally don't even believe there is any straight people in the world. Just very very stubborn people who refuse to believe it. There have been bisexual people around for longer than we can ever think of. Its totally natural, Shakespeare was rumored to be bisexual.

Rite on mate, but you seem a little ignorant of some basic facts. So why exactly do you think gay people shouldnt adopt? You have plenty of extreme opinions on things but no reasons to back them up from what I see. Doesnt bode well for your degree level studies
