Gay Adoption Measure Fails

Having homosexual parents is better than spending half their childhood in foster homes or orphanages.

I'm sure there are good homosexual parents and bad homosexual parents, good heterosexual parents and bad heterosexual parents. If they're bad they won't get to adopt if they're good they will.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

@Neon: You've said it much better than I could have put it.

@Kion: Agreed as well.

@Funky: Exactly...

I'm agreeing too much.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

But still, Questions like these come early and... But even with hetro adoption, they'll find out. But atleast not as early as a gay adopt.

So craig: Say I'm 4, I'm adopted by a male and a female parent. I go along thinking that they're my real parents. But as i grow up, i realize that my parents died long ago.

Horrible strategy, I'd rather know while i can barely think for myself. And you can't really miss what you never had...

But, that would make it seem you think that a hetero adoption should be made early on.I don't think it's right to place that barrier. I personally believe that they should be adopted at any time, especially because of whatever may be taught to them by age 6-7.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

@Craig: A neighborhood has nothing to do with it.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

I doubt you can remember when you were 4.

Communism: You have more water, everyone has more water!

Actually Craig has point; for some reason humans do remember the bad memories over good. Also if you were an orphan and knew, you'd just feel leftout, lonely. And all those emotional effects.... But heres the thing, if adopted early enough you can program them to make your self look real. But sex education just dose it for Gay adopt...
So emotional effects of a Gay adopt will be far worse and not to mention bullying...

Well, it's true, the memories. But, what if they enjoy them?[not bad memories, the parents.]

@Craig: "Hell" just means "Life", in my book. That's what it has come to mean for me.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

A bit late here:

@Remi: 'Having a child' meaning to adopt. Also that is true, but then there is expeirence with children, and having no expeirence. It really does depend.


@Syed: Thank you. o3o

-.- It seems tthe tide turned on this debate... Allow me to think up a rational response in a bit...

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

Wait, what? You're going to find out you're adopted sooner or later anyway, who cares when it happens? Would you rather find out when you're like, 20?

I think an orphanage would be more "hellish" than a home. They should be happy that somebody was caring enough to adopt them. If homosexual couples are aloud to have a child in their family I don't know why they shouldn't be able to adopt..

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

It's better when late, because at younger age it's harder to accept.

Well, I suppose I'll just latch on to Neon's statement.

Also, if the question of marriage comes up in this, consider this: There are plenty of heterosexual couples I know who have had or adopted children, but are not legally married. I just ought to put that out there, because it should be known.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

But like, what syed and that other guy were saying.. if a 6 year old, let's say, gets adopted by a homosexual couple, they're going to know that they were adopted.. if a 6 year old gets adopted by a heterosexual couple they're still going to know they were adopted..

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

Neon well, i'm talking about younger kids. But won't the 6 year old get bullied really badly? I'm sure the 6 year old would rather like the orphanage than being bullied.

People who don't have homosexual parents get bullied.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

How about instead of further contributing to the ignorance and prejudice of hating homosexuals by making it illegal to adopt, we teach everybody to stop being ignorant and prejudice against homosexuals, then they can make it legal for them to adopt kids because they won't, as you say "be bullied" because nobody will care. (maybe poorly worded, found it hard to explain with words)

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

Yeah. Besides, what should it matter to the other kids about their parents? The only reason they're bullied is because the bullies' parents most likely made a remark about the bullied-child's parents out loud, and possibly to their kids. I may as well point and laugh at the hetero-parent's kids for being "ol' fashion" and straight. It's just not fair, or right, either way.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

@Neon: It is legal for them to adopt. These "faith-based organizations" were trying to make it so that it would be legal for them to basically say, "Sorry, you're not with the opposite gender.", without the potential to be sued for bigotry, or "prejudism".

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.
