*Allow?!?! And just who gets to decide that? YOU? The government?It works both ways. Now I can turn around and ask you, why *shouldn't* gay couples be allowed to be parents? If you say no, then I can call you a nanny stater etc... The issue is far more complicated than what passes for modern conservatism gives it credit for and boils down to "how do you create a real, wholesome society in a world where the conventional rules don't work anymore?"The real question is, "What are YOU doing on FR supporting gay marriage and nanny-statism?"
Being conservative is more than reciting talking points and getting angry about homos. Liberalism avoids the issue entirely by saying that all social organizations are equal. Conservatism tries to make it tractable by going after little, easily digestible parts of social decline but ignoring the greater, far more complicated and destructive big picture.
Being a libertarian is being a liberal and anarchist in disguise.
Fine. Call me a nanny stater. NO! Homosexual couples should not be allowed to adopt. There is nothing stopping them from being parents should they decide to someone arrange procreation on their own, but that's a whole 'nother issue.

No, it doesn't, because that just smoke and mirrors to cover up the social decay that is brought about by the dissolution of moral values.
You CANNOT have a wholesome society without conventional rules. It's the conventional rules which make society wholesome.
You are seriously on the wrong forum. Here, this one would suit you much better.....

“The issue is far more complicated...”
What utter poppycock. It isn’t complicated at all. You do not hand children over to deviants. Ever.
“...getting angry about homos.”
Calling homosexuals deviants is stating a fact. There is nothing “angry” about it.
