Obama says 'yes' to gay adoption

Barack Obama has expressed his support for same-sex couples' right to adopt children.

In a letter to the Family Equality Council, Obama writes: " ... we have to eliminate discrimination against LGBT families ... [and] we have to extend equal treatment in our family and adoption laws."

While McCain and his wife, Cindy, have an adopted child, he said to the New York Times, "I think that we've proven that both parents are important in the success of a family, so no, I don't believe in gay adoption."

According to the Family Equality Council, same-sex parents are raising 4% of all adopted children in the United States as well as 3% of all children in foster care.

Why not, he was “adopted” by a gay, pedophile communist in his formative years. Makes sense.

If the libtards “abort” all the unwanted children, then where pray tell are the sodomites going to find any to adopt? It never ceases to amaze me the lunacy of the left.

On a somewhat related topic, what happens when religious liberty conflicts with same-sex parents adopting, like it did with Catholic Charites in Boston?

I’m sorry but this is one area where I’m not with you guys. Maybe it’s my personal experience with my aunts being able to lovingly raise their two adopted children, but I don’t see how we can stand against any adoption when it’s one of the main solutions to the abhorrence of abortion.

I’m happy that Obama acknowledges that there are some children other than his own that shouldn’t be killed. Would it be too much to ask that he would also be in favor of the children of gay marriages being able to attend the schools of their choice with vouchers?

Gay adoption is pedophila. NEVER trust a queer on anything.

Homosexual Agenda Ping

Freepmail wagglebee to subscribe or unsubscribe from the homosexual agenda ping list.

Be sure to click the FreeRepublic homosexual agenda keyword search link for a list of all related articles. We don't ping you to all related articles so be sure to click the previous link to see the latest articles.

Add keywords homosexual agenda to flag FR articles to this ping list.

When I used to do the ping lists with wagglebee, I had tons of info at my disposal. That was more than a year and three computers ago, alas... But the truth is that homosexuals are much more likely to molest children than others, and most homosexuals were molested when young.

Therefore, not only should they not be legally allowed to adopt or foster children, they shouldn't have jobs around children. And molestation includes seduction of children and young adolescents. It's factual, this is not opinion. And just because someones' aunt or nephew or neighbor is nice and kind and didn't molest children in their care is anecdotal and not evidence.

Oh - and in case anyone needs one, yet another reason to defeat Barack Hussein Obama in November.

I'm with you. Besides, it's not a federal matter, so Obama's and McCain's opinions aren't even relevant.

I don’t see how we can stand against any adoption when it’s one of the main solutions to the abhorrence of abortion. Think about that comment a little longer. Turn it over in your mind. You can start with the more extreme images that pop into your head, but you need not stay there. You can come down a bit towards more mundane pathologies and still see how that statement is just silly.
