Whether men OR women homosexuals, they should NOT be allowed to adopt a child. Whether you believe in God or not, or morals or not, you have to understand the balance that parents are supposed to be!
The man is supposed to be the forceful, aggressive guy, but there for the kid. The mother is supposed to be the loving person whom takes care of the kid. Let's say you have two women taking care of a kid (boy or girl). The kid would be messed up because 1.) How would you tell the child of natural reproductions 2.) You'd have two loving characters and contributers to the child's relationship, and not enough "guyness". Let's say you have two men taking care of a kid (boy or girl). 1.) Again, how are you supposed to tell of reproduction, 2.) There would be two aggressive parents. Not that the child wouldn't be loved, but there wouldn't be the essential piece which is the soft and kind mother. If you choose to engage in a homosexual relationship, than fine, do it. But know that there will be some consequences for doing it. One of them being that you will never be able to raise children. Just like everyone else has to deal with consequences with their decisions, homosexuals should also have to. It obviously is telling you something if you can't reproduce because you're with the same sex: it's not meant to be. That's fine to have feelings for someone of the same gender, but it is not fine to ruin and disturb the life of a child who doesn't know any better because they are so messed up with the unbalance of the mother-mother/father-father issue. But, if states let single people adopt, and most homosexuals are unmarried, how are they supposed to tell those people "Sorry, you're gay" or "Are you gay?"? This is where the line turns gray.
The next question: What about bisexuals? It all gets too complicated to give a simple answer. This is a law that will surely be discussed soon as many states don't allow homosexual adoption. I still take my stand though, that the balance should be kept with one woman and one man adopting kids, and not homosexuals. If homosexuals want to live that way of life, that is acceptable, just not to affect the lives of children who have no say in the matter, and who will be most heavily influenced by this decision. Thank you for reading. Please rethink your outlook on this topic, and take the stand to not speak against homosexuality, but homosexual adoption of children.
