quote:
Question; Should gay couples be allowed to adopt and raise children?
This only applies to the US, but...
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Heterosexual couples are allowed to adopt children.
I don't see the issue here.

Astounding as it sounds, a number of scientists have actually argued that when a female Bonobo wraps her legs around another female ... while emitting screams of enjoyment, this is actually "greeting" behavior, or "appeasement" behavior ... almost anything, it seems, besides pleasurable sexual behavior.
I wish women would greet me that way.
Human women, that is.

I know it was torture being fat in school... and right now thats noting compared to Homosexuality. it would to me be wrong to put a child there in that. Until that changes .......
And how is it meant to change if homosexuals are denied equal rights?
Imagine trying to eliminate racism while still making black people ride at the back of the bus.

Ok, I'm convinced. I withdraw my earlier opinion, in favour of this new one: Gays should be allowed to marry, and adopt on an equal footing to heterosexual couples.
Wait... wait, this is an internet message board! No one is supposed to acknowledge the other side's arguments! We're supposed to keep rephrasing earlier statements, and... and keep... my worldview is shattered.
In all seriousness, this warms my heart.

Re: hypocrisy
No, no, you don't understand. They stand up for the right to fuck your fellow man metaphorically. Not literally.
