This is quite a big thing now, but do you think that gays should be allowed to have the option to vote.
In my opinion, i think they should [but that's only because i'm gay]. So many people think it's wrong, and if gays do raise a child, then the child will turn out gay. to be honest, I'd love to have my own child, my own baby, but I'd hate myself if it would get bullied in school for having gay parents. That's one negative point on why I wouldn't like me and a future partner to raise a child.
So, anyone else's opion? I think it would be good so what straight people think of this subject, as well as gay or bisexual people.

I think they should be able to. Why not? It wouldn't harm or concern anyone else.
And the notion that gay parents = gay child is a bit illogical considering straight parents don't always = straight children.

I've heard some Christian Conservatives say that a child should be raised by a male and female parent because that child say if it is a boy, won't get what it "needs" without having a dad if it is raised by two moms...the funny thing to that though is you could say the same about single parents, but that is okay for a single parent, whether it be a man or a women, to raise a child by themselves. That to me has been one of the most ludicrous stories I've ever heard in my life!
I'm for gay adoption, and in some countries you can adopt, like here in the USA. There are so many children orphaned around the world and I think its sad that someone would try to stop those children from finding a loving home due to ones sexuality. I heard from one lady in the adoption field that some gay couples take the children that basically know one else wants, such as children with disabilties or illness and those kids get such loving homes because of these couples.
My aunts at the moment are raising there grandson, and that boy is living such a happier life, that is what it is about when it comes to anyone raising or adopting children, those kids getting a happy life!

*plays devil's advocate"
You know you gay people just want to adopt children to convert them to your own "ugly" lifestyle. It's your hidden agenda to create more of your own kind. Not to mention, you gay men, adopting little boys to molest. You sinners, you......
:rollseyes:
but for real, a committed gay couple is MORE committed to each other than heterosexuals, for the most part. Simply because it's more difficult to BE in a committed, outted, relationship. Straight couples couldn't go through what the gay community does, on a daily basis, and not just throw in the towel and give up. I'm a Christian...grew up in the Southern Baptist church. Left organized religion a while ago for a few reasons, one of them being the hypocrisy of it all. I am still a Christian, and always will be. But being a Christian does not mean I have to, or should, exclude people from my life because of who they love.

^You playing "devils advocate" reminds me of this one quote, I can't think of the whole thing but is was said by someone in the gay community about how they basically have a pagent for recruting...its a hilerous quote I'll have to see if I can find it.
And your defently right on the commitment thing, my aunts have been together about 10 years(and they even met on the ineternet!) and I see all these straight couples dropping off like flies...especially here in the United States, not sure about the rest of the world.

To me, if the parents are good parents, then it shouldn't matter if they're a gay couple or not.
Anyway, being adopted by a gay couple would probably be better than getting adpoted by Angelina Jolie (P.S., if you're reading this, you can stop adopting kids now. We all know that it's all for the press).

[quote author=darkflare89 board=debate thread=1172963137 And the notion that gay parents = gay child is a bit illogical considering straight parents don't always = straight children.[/quote] Exactly. I can only agree with what everybody else here already said. In the end the only thing that matters is that the child has loving parents (or a loving parent) and not their sexuality.
Of course the bullying at school etc. could be a problem, but people are getting bullied for less (their clothes, their marks, their looks,...). There are always people who are narrow-minded or simply stupid.

Well, I know that here in Australia, there is one state that we gay couples can adopt in, and that is the ACT And Prue and I want to adopt. We were going to do it soon, but after last week's events and such, we are going to hold it off for a while longer
