Top Disagreement
It doesn’t matter if you have 2 dads or 2 moms or a mom and a dad, if you care for your child and love them you should be able to adopt or have children.
@9FMHF6S7mos7MO
I wholeheartedly agree. A strong loving influence from parents can be there regardless of gender identity; we should focus on making sure kids up for adoption get good parents, not that they get straight cis parents.
@9FLMKTN7mos7MO
The LGBTQIA+ community has the right to work for a family as much as straight couples do. If they pass the same background requirements as a straight couple, nothing should prevent them from finding their family and giving homes to children struggling in the system.

@9FLVVWF7mos7MO
If a couple of any kind goes through the adoption process, the screening and requirements are already incredibly extensive. If those channels determine the family is a good fit for adoption, then there is no reason they should be denied that.
@9GHR6DSRepublican6mos6MO
Gay couples have the same rights as every other US citizen. There is absolutely no reason why any couple that isn't heterosexual should be denied the right to start a family.
@9GJBHPZ6mos6MO
Every child deserves a secure roof over their head. This argument completely disregards the homeless child. Denying such a simple thing, you are contributing to the rise in teen homelessness just because the thought of them being raised by parents who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community irritates you.
@9FNY4PM7mos7MO
Gay people are just the same as straight people and as long as they are good people and this is proven, gay or straight should be able to adopt children who are in need of a loving home.
They are the same as you and me. They are perfectly capable of raising a mentally and physically healthly child.
@9FLMFB47mos7MO
Gay couples have the same abilities as straight couples and are just as fit to parent children. Just as straight parents will not force sexuality onto their children, the same is true for queer parents.
@9FN6ZKS7mos7MO
As long as a couple holds the same eligibility standards as any other couple, they're sexuality is not going to influence their ability to raise a child.
@9FPK7D6Republican7mos7MO
Gay couples are just as capable as normal couples of adopting children and if a child needs a home with loving parents why deny them just because their parents were Gay

It doesn't matter if a kid has two moms or two dads as long as they love the kid and take care of them like they should.
@9FLTH787mos7MO
The most common response to this issue that I hear is that "a child NEEDS a mom and a dad" whether they justify it by what their religion says, which with the existence of other religions, forcing ones beliefs on others and on politics is wrong and unfair to others, or they try and justify it through biology which they aren't educated on because there are plenty of examples of same sex couples in nature my favorite example being emperor penguins who literally adopt and raise abandoned eggs.
@9FLGN657mos7MO
There is no difference to the raising of a child from gay couples than straight ones. All that matters is that the kid is happy and healthy, it shouldn’t matter who the parents love.
@9FLK9FT7mos7MO
There is no reason why an LGBT couple should not be able to adopt their lifestyle will not affect the child
@9FL3YYJ7mos7MO
the same way that anyone should be able to adopt , gay couples should be able to because they are just like everyone else
They are humans want to be parents like straight couples who want to adopt so gay couples should be able to adopt.
@9FKMNGRWomen’s Equality7mos7MO
gay couples should be able to adopt children because everyone should have the same right to have a child.
@9FLVRJM7mos7MO
Gay couples can be as healthy or as unhealthy as straight relationships, and can handle a child to the same capabilities.
@9FPC2JJ7mos7MO
What is so different between a "traditional" nuclear family and a same-gender couple? Both are capable of
@9FLP3PZ7mos7MO
The people who say this tend to be of the belief that being gay is an inherently sexual feeling, and that the existence of gay folk is detrimental to children. This is entirely untrue. Being gay is not any more sexual than being straight, and I do not believe that gay couples would be any worse at raising children than straight couples.
@9FLKLTK7mos7MO
If your argument is stereotypes such as what is, "natural," look at everywhere in society. Cars are not "natural," businesses are not "natural," almost everything in our modern world is not so to say natural because we want to better our lives and the natural is not perfect, but we want it to be.
@9LQF8DDLibertarian2wks2W
same argument. back off government. your sexuality does not impact how good of a parent you are and straight couples can be very abusive.
@9LTTPFDRepublican1wk1W
Just because they dont identify with their correct gender does not mean that they cant adopt a child
@9L264NK1mo1MO
It should be a human right to adopt children. As long as you have financial stability and the right mindset there's no reason you shouldn't be able to. Animals adopt abandoned babies constantly.
@9HW68SNPeace and Freedom4mos4MO
I think they should. It's not that big of a deal. It's a free country. They're still human with different opinions in their romantic life.

@9HVGGB54mos4MO
Marriage is between a man and a woman: only men and women should be able to adopt. LGBTQ+ couples wouldn’t be able to provide a good enough life for the child.
But there is proof that Children who are living the same quality of lives as children in hetero sexual home's, there is no difference whatsoever between a heterosexuals' couples and homosexual couples.
@9HRMGRS4mos4MO
We have a foster care system that has reached critical levels of children without permanent homes. Allowing gay couples to be
@9HPG9NY5mos5MO
There is currently no reputable statistical measure that suggests LGBT or non-heterosexual adoptive parents are inferior to heterosexual parents (per 2004 American Psychological Association findings), and there are still plenty of children that would benefit from an adoptive home instead of foster systems or orphanages.
There shouldn't be a requirement based on the biological sex of the parents to raise a child as long as the parents are responsible and dependable people.
@9F6SNY58mos8MO
People should not be penalized for who they are. It would be like banning racially mixed couples from adopting children.
@9F7Y52W 8mos8MO
The people that take this stance also take a pro-life stance which doe not make any sense whatsoever.
@9F7S9DC8mos8MO
The relationship between gay couples and children will likely feel unnatural to both the couple and the children
@9FLNQZLIndependent7mos7MO
Just because a gay couple wanna adopt a baby doesn't mean they can't i feel like if a straight couple can adopt a baby then everybody else can
@9FLWRBP7mos7MO
It is simply not fair. Any parent wishing to adopt should undergo a background check to see if theyre qualified.
@9B5RNH61yr1Y
That's bull **** .
@WhatisaWoman?11mos11MO
Is it though? Children need both a mother and a father. Gay adoption removes that from them.
@9CJ6CB67mos7MO
And so does single parent adoption but that’s not being removed.
