Some of the arguments that individuals that oppose same-sex adoption are:
- gay parents will raise gay kids
- gay kids will suffer discrimination
- men do not know how to comfort a distressed child
- men are incapable of explaining menstruation to their daughters
- gay people will molest their children
- gay people are too busy with their pleasure-based lifestyles to care about anyone else
- gay people are sinners and will teach their children that sin is okay
- Having both a mother and a father is a primordial right or a natural right, or optimal situation, and gay adoption interferes with this right (the truth is, kids born to a loving mother and father who can take care of them simply do not get put up for adoption, so this reason is nonsense no matter how you look at it.)
- The child(ren) will not learn how to form relationships with the opposite sex
None of these are proven to be accurate arguments at this time. There is significant research that also states how it is actually beneficial for the child.
