A strong majority, 63 percent, of Americans now say that same-sex couples should have a legal right to adopt a child, according to a new Gallup poll. About one in three, 35 percent, are opposed.
The result is the opposite of 1992, when Gallup first polled the question. Sixty-three percent said homosexual couples should not be legally permitted to adopt in that year. In 1998, that number declined to 57 percent. In 2003 and 2007, Americans were about equally divided on the question.
The recent poll was the first time Gallup showed a clear majority supportive of giving same-sex couples the legal right to adopt a child.
The strongest support came from Democrats (80 percent), followed by independents (61 percent), then Republicans (51 percent).
Young people were more supportive than older people. Among ages 18 to 29, 77 percent answered that same-sex couples should have the right to adopt, followed by 65 percent for ages 30 to 49, 59 percent for ages 50 to 64 and 52 percent for those 65 and older.

Politicians seem to want to push social issues out of politics. It makes their rhetoric so much simpler. Then it's just a matter of figuring out how to promise the most people the most money. More and more people who I know just don't care about politics.
Paul Lynde’s life in particular, lol!
A ticket to same-sex rape and other deviant forms of child abuse. Kids would be far better served to remain in orphanages than to serve time with a couple of perverts. Note how Elton John and his coprophilic partner adopted, not girls, but two little boys. Sickening.
Phew! What world do you live in? Let’s just wait 20 years from now when these adopted kids (I’m thinking Elton John’s “kids” in particular) start telling their own stories.
I suspect the suicide rate for kids of gay parents is going to be through the roof.
ok, that is fascinating, I did NOT know that Stein was not a democrat or socialist!
So I guess there are now “several” things that I like about, ahem, her.
Actually I guess I’m only down to one thing that I do not like about her and that is her “marriage”....other than that, a cool lady.
Personally, I’m a Matisse man.
And yes, many others picked up his banner later, and maybe they would have regardless. But she and Leo were some of the first, and for that, we must be grateful.
Thanks for that extra info. Very interesting!!!
The only trouble with Stein is that she continued to like Petain after the Occupation. She could not get over her love of him because of his stature during the First World War. She and Alice drove an ambulance during the war - saving the lives of many soldiers. She wanted to write speeches for Petain during WWII and was, thankfully, talked out of it by friends.
After WWII, she invited American soldiers to her Paris home. She threw open the doors to hundreds of them, forcing Alice to work overtime in the kitchen to feed them.
Alice, also, was a militant conservative. She outlived Stein by many years and, sadly, annoyed her liberal friends with her views...
Not all gays are the freaks you describe.
If you think my statement is “insane” then it should be easy to offer contrary evidence.
Yes! A very liberal guy in my office (Jewish guy in his early 60s who did Peace Corps service in the late '60s in Afghanistan of all places) was joking to me about a co-worker, a very annoying middle-aged women with two, count 'em, TWO homosexual children. After relating a recent time-zapping encounter with her, he said to me by way of a topper, "and two out of her three kids turned out gay . . . what does that say about her parenting skills?"
If he's not careful, he'll be heading to the Ministry of Love in the near future.
We can stop them, and possibly even turn them back. But we have to be ready for a fight, and ready to put our money where our mouths are. Most of all, we have to give up the "it can't be done" mindset.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Women abusing one another with toys and men obsessed with filthy anal areas are sick deviants. Their practices make them "freaks."
"If you think my statement is “insane” then it should be easy to offer contrary evidence."
Are you serious? Offer you links to prove what every conservative with half a moral compass knows? If you buy into the liberal line about queer adoption, that's your problem; I'm not going to do your work for you. Do a search of FR articles on the subject, or just keywords "gay adoption the truth."
Endless projectile vomiting?
Are you Chuck Norris?
I suspect you’d be alarmed to learn as I suspect that most of the “toy” use and much of the anal obsession in this nation is by heterosexuals.
Should adoptive heterosexual parents be interviewed about their private sex practices to make sure that kids don’t go into a “freakish” home?
I have said repeatedly that it’s preferable for kids to be adopted into normal families, but I think a capable, screened loving gay couple is better than orphanhood. If you can’t support your conclusion, you’re not shirking doing my work for me, you’re shirking your own work to persuade others, which you have thus far failed at.
And please don’t argue against points I’m making. Quote me, and tell me here I’m wrong.
Sounds like he is a pedophile.
That it is in fact illogical, child endangering, contrary to religious principles that go back at least to the time of Moses, are all being ignored, because the mass media, themselves indoctrinated by academic bullies who demonize any effort to make distinctions, once seen as obvious; as well as those academic bullies, themselves, together with most Corporate managers, and most contemporary politicians, have all been conditioned to scream against "discrimination" based upon any perception of actual human differences, whether genetic, ideological--the one exception being Conservatives of Faith, who are denounced as bigots;--or behavioral.
It is this mania to pretend that there is some form of magical equality of all humans, or some form of moral equivalency of all human behavior, or beliefs, etc., which intimidates individuals from asserting their individualism by challenging what is patent nonsense--and obviously absurd.
Now in saying this is "effectively" coordinated, I do not suggest that one group is pulling all the strings. It has gotten well beyond that. There are so many conditioned players, now, that much of the agitation spontaneously erupts at the merest threat of public opposition.
And yet, all of that said, our only hope is to stand into the breach, as it were, and calmly assert a reality that just about everyone really knows from their own experience. There is no such thing as equality in the biological or behavioral world. The idea is beyond merely silly.

You're the second one in two days to try and equate sex between men and women with sex between deviants. It doesn't wash now any more than it did then.

A "loving gay couple"...in truth, two feces-ingesting perverts.
If you need common sense to be "supported", you have a problem...and it appears that's the case.
I don't believe in pinging the owner of this forum for every little thing that occurs, but your obvious support of the queer agenda, and your belief that children should be surrendered into the hands of such deviants, is beyond the pale.
BTW, your name doesn't match your signup date.
There are -- I know this for a fact --- thousands and thousands of mom & dad married couples who are in the position my husband were in 17 years ago, when we were looking to adopt a child: home-studied and ready to go, but no kids available through an avenue we could afford. We were not poor people, but people of modest but adequate means, perfectly capable of welcoming another child into our family, but blocked by enormous institutonal barriers and financial (meaning agency) costs.
We finally got our adopted son from Russia. People say "Why Russia? Aren't there enough needy children here?" Sure. But try to get one and you'll experience what it's like to bang your head against a brick wall.
And Downs? I told my husband I thought I could face Downs, blindness, deafness, about anything except FAS. Our beloved son came to us with club foot, cleft palate and CAPD and we welcomed him as a gift of God.
How is it that there are institutional obstacles and financial barriers in the way for mom & dad families to get adoptable kids, but two-career gay male "couples" --- judging from local newspaper coverage --- seem to get the red carpet treatment???
You tell me.
well, bye
