except the research shows that the children of gay/lesbian parents are no more likely to grow up to be homosexuals that anyone in the general population

Show me.

"The research" could be one biased study for all I know.

No, I never claimed the study was wrong....you did. I would even go so far as to say the study is correct because very strong common sense backs it.

you posted: "Can you prove either of those studies are wrong?" and I did just that. Deal with it.

So you say. I'm not convinced...deal with it.

Not surprising.

Flat earthers and creationists are never convinced by counter arguments either.

Isn't "common sense" the main reason flat earthers think the earth is flat?

From the little I know about them, there's apparently also a pseudo-scientific theory that they advance, not unlike the "Global Warming" people and the "Hollow Earth" people.

Im sure, and I can only imagine what exactly that would entail.

Why am I not surprised that you put Anthropogenic Global Warming in with hollow earth and flat earth conspiracy theories?

I imagine you catagorize plate techtonics and evolution the same way.

Dunno, but that's your answer to most of the posts you've replied to lately, so I'll leave it at that.

One of the country’s largest adoption and foster care agencies, Bethany Christian Services, announced on Monday that it would begin providing services to L.G.B.T.Q. parents nationwide effective immediately, a major inflection point in the fraught battle over many faith-based agencies’ longstanding opposition to working with same-sex couples.

Bethany, a Michigan-based evangelical organization, announced the change in an email to about 1,500 staff members that was signed by Chris Palusky, the organization’s president and chief executive. “We will now offer services with the love and compassion of Jesus to the many types of families who exist in our world today,” Mr. Palusky wrote. “We’re taking an ‘all hands on deck’ approach where all are welcome.”

"Where all are welcome"

Wonder if they mean that literally.

We've arrived at the point in our society where the needs or rights of the people seeking to adopt are given precedence over what's best for the children.

It's not terribly surprising, considering that we also cannot have women's sports be for women; and free speech is punished if what is said makes anyone else "uncomfortable."

Your right, it's so much better for children to be unloved, raised in foster care their entire lives then be adopted by loving LGBTQ. Or heck, better to be raised by the foster care system, then be addoped by Catholics right? You guys whine about abortion and say, "Well they can just adopt." and then complain about ways that would help kids get adopted.

Huh?

Sarcasm without also addressing the contents of the post being quoted doesn't accomplish much, does it?

But wait. It probably does make the poster feel good about himself, so that's something.

You do know that it's quiet common for Catholics to not allow protestants and vice versa to adopt as they won't give a proper good Christian upbringing.

True or not, that didn't seem to be the message as you wrote it. But thanks for the follow-up.

Are you saying a gay or lesbian couple couldn't love, nuture, and raise a child in a manner sufficient for that child's well-being? If so, why not?

That's not what I read. It sounds he is saying that what is best for a child, to have a mother and father, has been deemed less important than the desire for same sex couples, who cannot procreate by specific design, to be able to obtain children.

We should not have that hierarchy, by any means.

That said, someone is better than no one, so anyone competent and capable of adopting (whether one person, two people, old, young, etc) is better for the child than whiling away the years in the system.

The actual studies show that having TWO parents regardless of their sexes is good for the children. And should be pretty obvious. MAYBE if there was enough parents around to adopt all children religious groups could b chosey but not a fan of the whole, "Oh your LGBT, or catholic, or Muslim, or protestant, we don't think your fit to adopt.

I see what you're saying. My thought is, we can't wait for the world to be the best it can be, before trying to make it better. I don't know enough about the ins and outs of what is going to have an adverse affect on children and what won't. A lot of people seem to know. I don't. So long as someone(s) is willing to commit to loving the adopted child and carry through, it's a winner as far as I can tell. Most likely, in 30 years the ratio of well adjusted children to not-so-well adjusted children from these homes will be similar, regardless of the sexual orientation of the parents. Even with the best vetting, it's a crapshoot.

Youl have to take that up with one that did the study. But in the meantime, it is simple common sense a child reared by gays, will become gay....period

Like father, like son.

If this is true why is it that heterosexual fathers sometimes have gay sons?
