Early on this thread I expressed the opinion that society should not interfere with homosexual couples who wanted to adopt. That being said, I do think there are severe negative implications for this being accepted across the board. I have expressed my concerns. You have refused to discuss the issue with honesty.

There are certainly some behaviors that society at large has a vested interest in, accepting or denying. You recognize that, but refused to acknowledge it since you rightly assessed it would damage your absolute hands off stance. Society does have a vested interest what takes place behind closed doors.

I have stated that I think many children will be exposed to a very detrimental situation due to acceptance of homosexual adoption across the board. You folks have disagreed. Sadly it is the children who will pay.

Thanks for the give and take.

I have been nothing but honest with you, but you didn't like or agree with my honesty and you delved into personal attacks.

Regarding your views on society, you have the right to those views, but you don't have the right to impose your views on others, that is not your place now, or ever.

You think children will be exposed to detrimental situations as a result of homosexual adoption, ok, fine, that is your opinion, but I fail to see the similar outrage for kids adopted into a male/female household that is abusive. You seem to want to use this argument only one way.

Will the children pay? Who knows? If were to run a wide statistical sample of kids raised by all possibilites (gay/straight/adopted/non adopted/unwed/wed), then we might have some actual data. But there are bad parents out there, gay, straight, wed and unwed, the point is YOU CAN'T LEGISLATE IT.

So, you are free to have an opinion, but you must realize that your opinion is rapidly becoming a marginalized one. Times change, opinions change, life and society change, get used to it.
