    I suggest you read the thread more closely. The position of a lot of the posters here seems to be that sexual orientation or gender is unimportant when considering how "good" a parent someone is. You are the one throwing the ideology that homosexual parents aren't as good.

    Sometimes real life is worth taking into consideration.
    I haven't read those studies, but my "intuition" is that a child needs guardians that love them far more than they need a family that fits the ideal nuclear family of the 2nd half of the 20th century.

    And I suggest you read my posts more closely as you are not speaking to the issue I am speaking to. Though perhaps you think you are.

    Simply to make you clairify your position:

    It's shortage of families that adopt compared to the number of children, while not certain that it continues that way.
    Gay adoption allowed, yes or no?
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    If a mom and a dad cannot be found for a kid, then yes. But if a mom and a dad can be found, the gay parents must always be second in line.
