    I'm going to break another PC taboo, be a sexist and state that I view lesbians and gay male couples as completely different on this particular issue. I have far fewer issues with a lesbian couple adopting a baby then I do with 2 gay males.

    And it would greatly help your position if you explain why. I can grasp some possible reasons for myself but to make an assumption of what you think isn't going to be very prudent of me.

    For now, though, Goofball hits every point.

    What are you trying to do to me Don? Give me an aneurism?

    I can only deal with so many meritless statements at once.

    Maybe I should take my foot out of my mouth. What statistics I was looking for turned out to be the opposite of the conventional wisdom I had adopted.

    Apparently, gay men in Scandanavia and the Netherlands divorce at roughly the same rate as heterosexual couples. I thought it was higher among gay male couples.

    I also thought lesbians were more stable in committed relationships then heterosexual couples. Turns out, they get divorced more frequently.

    Okay then, I'm for allowing gay male couples to adopt, but until lesbians figure out how to provide some domestic permanence for their children, I think they should be last in the priority queue for adoption.
