gay adoption

Against.

In terms of what is good for the child, having gay parents, both being male, or both being female, I don't beleive it would be good for the childs psychology. If I put myself in the childs shoes for just one moment, I would not like to have gay parents. Let alone the ridicule the child would receive at school etc, I also beleive they could have an adverse psychological reaction.

So, thinking of the child (what having children is all about) and putting the other two individuals aside, I am against.

Try having a straight parent who is abusive, racist, bigoted, and an asshole in general. In public. Endure physical and emotional abuse in secret for years and spend half your public life in complete and utter embarrassment and shame as that parent loudly proclaims his asinine views about other races and cultures.

I had two straight parents...and I was still ridiculed at school for one's behavior. Believe me...it would have been easier to come home to two loving gay parents after that than to dread going home to face more bullshit in what should have been my safezone.
