Why should gay people be allowed to adopt children?

Answer 1

Tolerance good, intolerance bad.

It should be allowed because you are born either gay or straight. It's not a choice. Moreover, even if it were a choice, it is not a bad thing. It does not affect anyone negatively unless someone wants to be affected by it negatively.

Answer 2

There is nothing in the constitution of any democratic nation that criminalizes homosexuality. It is, in fact, legal to be gay. You may, in error, believe that the controversy over the gay marriage laws to mean that being gay is a crime. It is, in fact, not.

There has never been a "need" to make homosexuals or being gay "legal" in that way. there is a push, and a much long awaited prospect of same sex marriage in the United States. However, being gay or hetero does not mean you have to do that with legal rights or laws. That is to say, Heterosexual marriage has been long protected in the United States but has yet to be extended to same sex couples.

While there are many thousand's of Same sex couples whom are in long term relationships and quite often much longer than heterosexual marriages. The constitution of the United states has the " fair faith and credit clause" which has not been given to same sex couples. The " right to happiness, and All men are created equal" is not at the present time correct. If it were, Same sex marriage for example would not be an issue, it would be reality. SO in short-,There is no legal "need" to ban, lift, or otherwise make being gay illegal or legal in the United States. It is not about if someone is gay or not, it is about being treated with equality.

Answer 3

Gay rights should not be banned. Gay rights are equal rights, and equality is good for society. Gay people should have the same rights and freedoms as everyone else.

Some gay issues currently disputed are:

• Marriage/civil unions
• Legality/decency of gay intimacy
• adoption and fostering of children
• protection from discrimination and violence

Answer 4

It's not anyone's choice. If a person is gay, there' no way to change this.

Years ago, the general belief was that people chose to be gay. But today, scientific consensus is that people are born that way, so it is not a matter of "allowing" them-- it is a matter of giving them equal rights and respect.

It should be noted that not everyone agrees that people are born gay; very religious people (Christians, Muslims, Orthodox Jews, etc) still believe it is a choice, and some people even believe you can change a person's sexual orientation, even though there is no scientific evidence to support this belief.

That said, whether you believe being gay is genetic or a choice, it goes without saying that gay people deserve to be treated with the same courtesy and compassion as anyone else.

Answer 5

Because there isn't any rational reason to ban them from adopting. Gay people make good parents in the same way that straight people make good parents.

Answer 6

Because gay people are being discriminated against by being denied some of the rights that other people have.

Answer 7

Because they are human beings who were just born with a different orientation. They are our friends and family. They contribute to the world in the same way that all human beings contribute.

Answer 8

Gay people have rights because all people have rights.

Because they are people too.

Answer 10
