Emerging Gay Adoption Fight Shares Battle Lines of Same-Sex Marriage Debate

For those against it

I cant believe what I'm reading.. You are against same sex adoption because.. You dont want children who would otherwise live in an orphanage to have a warm and safe home environment? You dont want the children to have two parents who would love them with all their hearts, just because those two parents are of the same sex? That is incredably selfish and discriminating. You should be ashamed of yourself. Oh and, whoever wrote "Hyprocrites", I do believe you should learn how to SPELL and how to Word a Sentence before you start harping on other peoples lives. You dont have to have a man in the house to learn how to "be a man". Duh. I'm 19, and I at lease know that much.

YES INDEED!

Go GAYS!!!!!! adopt them babys!!!! and im sixteen years old and i have more maturity and common sense then these lame people^

hyprocrites

i jus got one thing too say and this should answer the question why do be say that a grows wrong sometimes cause they do not havw what a man and woman in their live to raise them. In most cases only only can teach the boy to be a man and vice versa for the woman right.So ask yourself can u get that in a same sex marriage.

same sex adoption

i dont really agree with same sex adoption because i feel that it complicates their live and causes depression. it already is depressing learning that u were given up and then be made fun of by your peers because your adoptive parents are homsexual.

Male animals don't adopt cubs

First off, sex has nothing to do with love, sex is an itch, and can be an addiction. there are all kinds of love, love for children, love for your male friends, love for your wife, love for your dog, love is Intelligent not a feeling. Second is, have you ever seen or know two male animals take care of their cubs? Third, if this was about two straight man wanting to adopt or foster children, do you think they would have a chance in hell? Fourth, it changes the Definition of Man and woman. what are we all the same sex? Fifth and last, is that it is incest.

Webster Dictionary (Marriage is between a man and woman)

Changing the definition of woman and man.

incest (incestuous)=sexual intercourse between persons so closely related that marriage is illegal.

Distinctly related by manhood, Brothers of mankind.

Girl,

a female child, a young unmarried woman of any age.

Woman

/n.pl women. woman, wife+man= human being. :an adult female person.

Boy

a male child

Man

This is what Obama had to say about it,

. Obama’s lawyers equate same-sex marriage with child marriage and incest between cousins. They say that the Defense of Marriage Act doesn’t deny anyone’s right to equality under the law, because it gives the states the option of whether to respect those rights. They even argue that there’s no discrimination against same sex couples anyway, because homosexuals have just as much right to marry someone of the opposite sex as anyone else.

…oh, one more thing, sex is between a man and woman anything other than that is a perveres act.

Please I need comments

Hello,

I come from France and I would like to know more about gay adoption in the USA. I would like to know a littlz bit more about the laws, and the way of thinking of americans about it. It would be really nice if you could give me some informations.

Thank you.

Sigh.....

Some of these responses are unbeleivable. To those who raise the arguement pertaining to the many heterosexual couples waiting to adopt for years, do you know why that is? Sad to say it is because they are waiting for a nice healthy blond hair blue eyed child to fit into thier image of the perfect family. There is a case in florida of two gay men(honestly cant remember the names)who foster a ton(around 10 i think?) of children. Most are minorities and have serious developmental and physical problems. These men have taken in kids no one else will love yet risk them being stripped of the only family they have ever known becuase florida wont let them adopt. That is the true abomination.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A LIFE CHOICE! Do you honestly believe that one day i woke up and thought, "huh, i think ill become gay so i can lead a life of ridicule and hardship." I found myself attracted to other boys when i was a child myself. My parents were a man and woman, good christian parents, provided a stable home. Guess what, still gay, always have been. You speak of the bibles condemnation of homosexuality. Do you realize much of what is written stems from pagan moral codes and has been grossly misinterpreted? Lets not talk about the gap between jesus death and when the new testament actually began to take shape, or how many languages it was translated through allowing misinterpretations. If that isnt enough i ask when the last time you stoned an adulterer was. You, havent stoned and adulterer lately? I guess you can just pick and choose then huh?

This is about love and finding homes for children who desperatly need one. Need i remind you that our forfathers stressed a little concept involving keeping the church and state seperate? So that said, legally what the bible says and the "moral issues" one has stemming from the bible have no place in laws governing same sex adoption to begin with. You are fighting a loosing battle, move on and find something that will truely help mankind.

same sex marriage

i think that people should not care if others are gay and getting married even if they are straight and have problem with it. they need to look at it this way "hey i am not gay andi am not getting married to another man or another woman so i shouldnt care because its not me!"

gays

are nice people and can raise a child

same sex marriage

I am a student in Milwaukee Public Schools. It's so hard to see our country fighting over something like this. Maybe we should consider the fact that maybe these people are happy the way they are.
