There is the question. Should a gay couple be allowed to adopt?

While I think in general, there is nothing that prevents a gay couple
from being good parents, I must raise this question. Why should the
poor defenseless child who has no choice in this matter, suffer the
undeniable social stigma of having gay parents?


The fatc that it is a stigma is IMO a problem with those who make it so. This
is an unfortunate issue when people adopt children of another race. One could
ask the question of Muslims given the common dislike for Muslims. I think the
answer is simple. Fear of prejudice should have no bearing on the issue.


And don't try to deny the horrors of abuse the other children will
heap upon these poor kids.

People who commit such horrors of abuse are the real problem and they are the
one who should be punished for creating such horrors.

It will happen and there isn't a damn
thing you idealistic liberals can do about it. Is it right? No. Is it
real? Yes.

Yes, people do bad things but there is something that can be done about it.
Hate crimes can be addressed by the justice system as well as any other crime.
People do get away with crimes but that is not a reason to give up on fighting
it nor is it a reason to run and hide under a rock.



Gay unions, fine. Adoption? No, Not yet. Perhaps foster care is a
better trial run at gay parenting.


Because of fear of prejudice? I think not.

Idealism rarely has any bearing on reality.

That would be the other children.

There is no justice system for hate crimes in our public schools.

I don't fear prejudice. I fear for the children who must bear the
burden of your idealism.
