While I oppose Gay marriage - this issue sounds as if it was diesigned to Gay bait. I am also against Gay "couples" adopting because two straight single couples can not joint adopt - but I would not be against the adoption going to a single gay person of that couple if qualified. That is the compromise I would adopt.

Well put. A gay person whether in a relationship or not should have the same status as a single person. For some legal problems I acknowledge, I am in favor of domestic partnership law which is blind to the genders of participants and to whether their partnership is marriage-like. This would help gay couples and others to arrange next-of-kin status currently restricted to marriage.. I don't know whether or not it would be appropriate for domestic partners to have access to joint adoption. But I am adamant that the law not blur the definition of parents being a mother and a father.
