I don't really get the argument against adoption by same-sex couples. Children can find both male and female role models anywhere in life; it doesn't necessarily have to be a parent. It could be a grandparent, cousin, uncle, aunt, teacher, older sibling. I think that if you're going to argue that a same-sex couple will mess up a child, then you might as well argue that all same-sex relationships are inherently dysfunctional and detrimental.

then you might as well argue that all same-sex relationships are inherently dysfunctional and detrimental.

We can say that though... Look at gay male communities, it's almost entirely sex focused, there is little room for "love." Love is just not something frequently experienced by males, that's also why a lot of straight relationships turn out to be abusive.

It's not "homophobic" or "hateful" to point out reality and the obvious connections. I'm a homosexual male and I can honestly say I'd rather be raised by a single parent than a homosexual couple, I blame the reason for my sexuality partly on bad influence (unrestricted internet access and access to unhealthy sexual content when I was young) and I feel like being adopted by a homosexual couple would have had the same effect, if not worse.

Homosexuality reduced the quality of my life and there's a chance I'll never come back from it, I could NEVER feel comfortable raising a child knowing that I may cause him/her to go down the same road, even subconsciously/without being aware of it. Children pick up on their parents behavior very easily, that's why stuff like abuse and narcissism tends to pass down generations.

Plus it raises ethical questions about the child too. Are they adopting children who have already been abandoned (Who often already have a ton of mental health problems or even physical issues - is it really fair to put more potential stress on them?) or is it through surrogacy or otherwise taking from existing parents (which is using women's bodies for selfish desire, and I do not trust any person ESPECIALLY males who think it's ok to rent a woman's body to be entitled to a child to be good parents)

The fact about "gay" male penguins stealing eggs comes to mind. LGB(T)+ like to believe that homosexuality is a gift from God and that they'd all make happy, perfect, "progressive" parents and be even better than straight people. Nature and evidence says opposite.

As I said in my reply on this post, I think adoption should be handled case by case and parents should undergo extensive screening to make sure they are responsible and able to care for a child adequately. However I think such procedure would rule out a lot of homosexual couples (especially males.) Unfortunately it's also subjective, no one can really agree the "right" way of taking care of kids, so without any kind of standard then I think kids are being messed up in the adoption system.

I had a single mother and lost her at a young age, I think my experiences of being without my parents caused me to be the way I am. So no I don't believe children in the adoption system get to be a homosexual couple's accessory just because they're jealous and want to experience it, if they don't care they shouldn't be allowed to adopt and I think most LGB(T) parents are going to push harmful "progressive" propaganda onto their children.

Dude you sound like an Abrahamic trying to convince himself he's not gay.

I'm honestly so fed up of hearing him complaining and bringing negativity all the time lol (I know him since LGBDropTheT in reddit before the ban). I don't understand why he's still here when he clearly doesn't like it here and he admits to being Anti-LGBT. He could just go away, no one's stopping him from going 😅

Good to have diversity of opinions. If you want to develop a good argument you need to have to know how to respond to the counter arguments. Lizard has supplied a number of counter arguments.

I'm not complaining about diversity of opinions lol. I'm complaining about his negativity all the time (in all posts in which he comments). I genuinely don't understand why he's here when he doesn't like it here. And what counter arguments do I need to have if I wasn't even answering him? I was simply ranting with someone on here and I wasn't even referring to his comments on this post specifically, but on his whole activity since he's been a member here.

Where have I not admitted I'm homosexual?

I admit it. Have been admitting it for a few years now. I may not like it, but I ain't gonna lie. I already tried that, and it didn't work. Duh.
