Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples?
Yes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples
By preventing access to adoption to LGBTQ couples, you are not only preemptively snuffing out a possible happy family, but also leaving children stuck in an already traumatizing experience. Some of whom will never escape from.

i agree. there is zero reason lgbt couples should not be able to adopt children when straight couples can

That's not what he said. It's saying gay and straight people have to hit the same criteria for adoption. That's equal buddy.

I fully agree, people claim that they don't kids adopted by a queer couple because "kids need a mom and a dad to develop all the skills they need" but there are many single mothers or fathers who raise their kids well by themselves, and a queer couple can do that as well. Others claim that it's "indoctrinating the children and/or brainwashing them to be gay" while taking their child to church every Sunday, putting them in Vacation Bible School every summer, and sometimes even sending them to Christian schools where they only learn things from the bible and learn that anyone who doesn't believe is going to be burned and tortured in hell for all eternity. Someone is indoctrinating children and it isn't the ones trying to get them out of an orphanage or the foster care system.

“Having any sort of discriminatory checks, infringes on civil liberties.”
Disagree. Having pre-adoption screenings for EVERYONE is incredibly important. My parents just adopted a kid and it's a rigorous process. It's important to make sure they're not going from one craphole to the other. You're not preventing access to adoption by LGB folk, you're making sure they don't end up with bad ones. It's different.

they are not right in the mind and this dumb thing will continue to grow through the children they adopt because they will force it on them to become apart of this thing.
