"You are bringing a baby into a home parented by two people both of whom are suffering from a mental disorder. You call that secure?"

You do realize any judge can find a psychiatrist who will call homophobia a mental disorder. Do you really want the federal government policing and enforcing who is allowed to have kids? Say goodbye to Christians adopting if this is the road we start down.

"Say goodbye to Christians adopting if this is the road we start down."

1. Foster and, AFAIK, prospective adoptive parents, in CA already have to submit to gay-friendly propaganda sessions in order to be approved.

2. There have been (maybe in CA, can't remember) cases of foster and prospective adoptive parents who have been punished because they wanted to take the foster kids to church and teach them traditional biblical values that were not "gay friendly".

3. In Massachusetts, the last figures I saw showed that 40% of kids in the foster/ adoption system were given to homosexuals.

So, it's already happening. The truth is that children should never, ever be given to homosexuals to foster or adopt. The truth is that homosexuality is neither benign, neutral, or normal. Children should have a home with a mother and father, if at all possible. It's not that there aren't mothers and fathers who want to adopt - there are.

I would agree with the psychiatrist. If a person was suffering from a "phobia" i.e; a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it, then they are suffering from a mental disorder.

However I have yet to ever meet or even hear an account of anyone suffering from a phobia of sodomites, gays or whatever you want to call them.. I know lots of people who are revolted by their lifestyles and recreational practices (find out what 'hot carl' and 'golden showers' are.) I know lots of people who have rational fears of the diseases those people carry due to their filtthy lifestyles. I don't know of anyone suffering from a 'phobia' though. If you can offer honest evidence of such a person (Christian or otherwise), let me know.

You can also find psychiatrists who call homosexuality a mental disorder. What's your point?
