		<description>i think its better for a child to have parents no matter  if the couple is gay or straight. if the child will be loved and taken care of whats the problem? if children didnt get adopted they will become angry with the world and could start a life of violence. now ask yourselves would it be better for a gay couple to love and care for a child, or have that child grow up without a family and most likely become a criminal? the safer way to go is to let them adopt the child.</description>

		<description>Propabilityzero - you&#039;re such a freaking ignorant saddistic freak. You want them poor children to be massacred by those perverts. I always knew that atheists are somewhat unadopted to the society, but what you show by yourself... It&#039;s disgusting. That&#039;s what I say - and believe me, I&#039;m not the only one.</description>

		<description>in the Bible is states it plainly that man and another man is totally wrong as with girl and girl.
so its totally going against the Bible first of all and second God intended for man and women to be together
he didnt make adam and john, he made adam(man) and out of adam he made Eve(women) if he wanted to be man and man or women and women he would have made that from the beginning!</description>

		<description>there is no logic behind the &quot; if they live with the gays they will turn out gay&quot; statment. same sex couples have not been allowed to adopt only until recent years, which means the millions of gays that there are were raised in hetrosexual households. being raised by gays does not insure that they will come out gay. people want to claim that by giving the gays the right to adopt it will emotionally/mentally disturb the child but they act as if waiting for a loving and willing parent to take you away while you wait in a foster home isnt damaging to ones mind. cmon people</description>

		<description>I was raised in a completely heterosexual community and I turned out gay. Weird huh? According to Ben&#039;s logic, I would have became heterosexual since I was raised in a heterosexual environment. Yet, I still developed feelings for other guys without ANY exposure to ANY sort of homosexuality. Sexuality is something that developed within me naturally and was not influenced dramatically by any outside forces. 

If I were to adopt a child with another man (which I can&#039;t right now because I&#039;m too young...I&#039;m still in school) I would never impose my sexuality on my children or &quot;convert&quot; them. I&#039;ll just say &quot;if you&#039;re straight, that&#039;s cool. If you&#039;re gay, that&#039;s cool too. I don&#039;t care what gender you like.&quot; As long as they know that they are loved no matter what, I&#039;ll be happy. 

I do not know if I articulated my point as much as I wanted to. All I can say to Ben is, your statement is very ignorant. =)</description>

		<description>Probabilityzero,
The literature you and your cohorts site is absurd.  97% percent of the population is &quot;hetro&quot; therefore  97% of all adoptable children are &quot;hetro&quot;.  If a child is placed in a gay household, the surroundings will send confusing messages that will, in time, lead the child to act on homosexual feelings, that most people have at sometime in their lives,  and possibly damage the childs self image.  There is a natural level of homosexuals in the population and they should be accepted and loved for who they are. But to place a heterosexual child in a homosexual house hold is just as wrong as trying to convert a person to a different sexuality.</description>

		<description>Children are best raised by a mother and a father who are in a committed relationship, like marriage.  It&#039;s been that way for thousands of years, and attempts to do social experiementing with children in the name of political correctness is absurd.</description>
