I like what the church wrote "It would be "gravely immoral" to let same-sex couples adopt children."
"Allowing children to be adopted by persons living in such unions would actually mean doing violence to these children, in the sense that their condition of dependency would be used to place them in an environment that is not conducive to their full development."
Children need to grow up within a normal, heterosexual-parent family -- ideally, the one that conceived them. Gay couples have NO right to deprive children of that experience. Gay couples' twisted view of normalcy need not be the issue, so long as they don't foist it on children or impressionable teens.
