- Comments:
- 1) I do not think that Homosexuals should be allowed to adopt
-
- UNLESS the birthparents have stated that they are not opposed to this.
- 2) I think that homosexuals should be allowed to adopt, but ONLY
-
- if they can meet the same stringent criteria that heterosexual couples
- must meet. I.E. They should have remained in a monogamous relationship
- for a reasonable period of time, should be in good health, etc.
- 3) I do not think that a child raised by a homosexual couple would
-
- have normal psychological influences (whatever normal is), and could
- have severe social and psychological problems in the future (especially
- with gender identity).
- 4) This poll ignores those who have chosen to marry heterosexually
-
- but who are primarily homosexually oriented. Some of these people
- are "out" and have married for convenience; most, however, are closeted,
- having put on the veneer of heterosexuality, seeking clandestine
- homosexual contact.
- 5) I think it is completely wrong and unfair to expose children
-
- to homosexuality like that; kids can accept ANYTHING at a young age
- regardless of right or wrong. Gays have to understand that they ARE
- different, and "brainwashing" kids is not a solution.
- 6) Homosexual couples can be just as loving and caring as
-
- heterosexual couples.
- 7) Yes, homosexuals should be permitted to adopt, provided they
-
- can meet the same standards that all couples are forced to meet. {no
- special treatment, but no discrimination, either.
- 8) It all depends on the child. sometimes there are times the
-
- parint dont understand. that when a kid goes to other places where
- un-undrstanding people are and say stupid thing or do stupid things
- the kid might have alot of mind problomes later on in life becuase
- of there foster parents.
- 9) No child should be raised in an atmosphere where homosexual
-
- sex is not only concidered acceptable, but is also condoned.
- 10) There are good and bad "parents" and this has NOTHING to do
-
- with sexuality.
- 11) I think these people just want to get on Phil, Sally, Oprah,
-
- Maury, Jenny, Geraldo, Joan, Deborah, Tom et al., and that's discounting
- cable tv.
- 12) There are no more pedophiles in the gay community than there
-
- are in the general population. Homosexuality is not pedophilia; it
- is falling in love with someone who is the same gender.
- 13) Think of the kid, haveing to grow up with two dads or two
-
- moms. it cant be good for the kids head.
- 14) If homosexuals want kids, let them have there own...good luck
-
- to 'em.
- 15) I believe it should be left up to the birth parents. Being
-
- loved is what's important! is love which is what a child needs
