Gay Parenting

[Riedquat]

There's not much to understand. His opinion is that it's "common sense" that gays are inferior parents to straight parents.

Thats the whole point you keep making up! That is not what he is saying, or at least not what I interpret from what he is saying! Nobody is telling they are inferior or bad parents, you are looking at the problem from the wrong side of the street, gay couples can be the more loving and caring parents in the entire world but that is beside the point, the common sense point is directed at what is more natural for the child, an imposed (by the state/government/laws/whatever) mother who biologically is a man or an imposed mother who biologically is a woman, (same could apply to the imposed father) and please try to see this with the child eyes... thats the point, the important point to consider, the common sense, the natural view.

Gay, lesbian, and bisexual people have biological children all the time.

No!? Really? the wonders of nature! And? Whats the point of that point? I didn't say they not deserve to be parents, nor that they aren't... I'm lost...

Where is this right, and how is it guaranteed? My parents divorced when I was 4.

Do you keep one at a time didn't you? Not both at same time but at least both were alive...

What right did I have to a father? What if my parents died? Does my right to a mother and a father bring them back to life?

Ufff...!!! What are we talking about? Of course that right isn't wrote in stone, honestly don't know where it is in my own country laws, know in our constitution is mentioned the right of child to be happy but not much more, and of course there is no guaranty. What I think? I think every child in the world has the right to be happy with his family and if for any reason they lack both fathers they have the right to get the best father possible the society can bring...

How is a child being raised by a gay couple not a family, if a child being raised by a straight single parent is a family?

Where on earth did I say that?
A single person independent of his/her sexuality can be a good father? yes of course; the number of parents doesn't matter, the importance is about the quality not quantity, quality in a sense beyond the mere meaning of the world; again, don't know how are things there but here singles can adopt, don't know if as a single you are requested to inform about your sexuality... and don't think it matters anyway. But we keep mixing things, stop looking under the carpet for weird examples, we are talking about orphans...

Yes, people have said they shouldn't.

Bah! Fachos! Guess you call them bigots...

How about a million couples, and ten million unwanted children?

Are you saying you're going to deny the child a family because you don't like gay people?

Uh? UH!!?? Do you think/believe I've said that?? Perhaps if i write in Spanish you will understand me better....

I don't know there but here orphanages (sp) are full of kids, there are not enough people wanting to adopt, the adoption process is slow as molasses, the bureaucracy behind the process is sick, usually couples wanting to adopt end abandoning the legal system and getting the child from other sources (a majority!). So the few who wants to adopt are discouraged for the system, the same system that is about to collapse... ||Mental pause... posting from work sucks big time... diluting brain fart|||

Everyone goodhearted with the will to adopt should be given the opportunity
