Astro said:Of course they should. I can't think of a logical reason to say that they cannot.
As long as they are fit and able to parent, then nothing should interfere with their decision.
To even raise this argument is quite discriminative in itself, in my opinion.
Even though I don't care what other people do how do you think it will affect the child knowing it's parents are Homosexual, you have to think about if the child will be bullied which in turn might lead to suicide.Leader said:There is no reason as to why homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to adopt children. I'm sure they are able to give as much love, maybe more, as any other parent could.

Leader said:That's society's fault, not the parents'. They shouldn't be denied the privilege to own a child based upon that very reason. That's a slippery slope.

I agree with that but you also have to think of the child and how it's life might be affected by this.
Leader said:By the time the child grows up, which will be about 10 or so years from now, society will have most likely changed. Homophobia will (hopefully) be a thing of the past. Plus, growing up with gay parents is a lot better than growing up in an orphanage.

Shift said:I see your point, but take Racism for example it was over 50 years ago and it is still present in today's society. What if that is the case for Homophobia ?

Leader said:Our society is much more advanced than back then. Science has proven that homosexuality is natural. Gay marriage laws are being passed as we speak. We're moving in the right direction, and we're moving fast.
Genetics, look up a punnet square if you want more info.Miles said:It's not as prevalent today, getting better and better as time goes by. Same thing will probably happen with society's "tolerance" to homosexuality, there will always be people who won't be open to it, but that number will go down as time goes on. It is now, probably will follow that course.
Would you question two black parents raising a child? Or maybe something that would seem much weirder back then, two black parents raising a white child? "NOOOO NEVER" but that wouldn't be too weird today.
Only weird part about that^ for me is, "how does the kid come out white" haha
Shift said:The same thing was thought about slavery in the 1800's, anti-segregation laws are made but their are still people that believe it should be allowed. Gay marriage will be challenged by religious people for the reason they learned that a man and a woman are the only logical pairing as god made them like that. There will always be controversy thanks to closed minded people.
Leader said:Well, in that case, we have to abolish religion.
There are many animals that are homosexual so it is nature.kassie said:Couple problems with a few things in here. First of all, science hasn't proven homosexuality to be natural. Science doesn't prove anything; It accumulates enough evidence to label things as truth, but science is constantly being debunked. Anyway, being any sort of minority is "natural" and that doesn't make treatment towards minorities any kinder.
Honestly, adopting infants isn't that easy, they're highly in demand. It's the older children that have a hard time finding a home. And by that point, they're old enough to consent to living in a gay household, so if the child is alright with that, I think that's fine. An infant doesn't have a choice, so I don't agree with that.
Speaking as a female, growing up would have been difficult without my mom. I don't want to talk to my dad about all my girly issues. But this is a problem in single households as well.
Honestly, it's a difficult subject, and things like this are more often than not circumstantial. It'll definitely work out for some children and not for others, just like children in straight households have good and bad childhoods. It's not a black and white subject.

As for this
"Science doesn't prove anything; It accumulates enough evidence to label things as truth, but science is constantly being debunked".
Yes science can be debunked but there are theories/ laws that would be very hard to disprove, take the laws of gravity for example.
