do your sympathies go so far as favoring, gay "marriage" and/or/ the right to adopt and/or include children obtained/conceived by whatever means within their imagined "families"?

As far as I can tell, in America, you can conceive children in many different ways without the government coming in and telling you no. So you want to tell a Lesbian woman she can't have a child? That would be interesting. As far as adoption goes, in a perfect world, there would be a married couple for every child that needs to be adopted. But that is not the case, as we know. I would rather a child be with a loving gay person or gay couple than be in the goverment foster system. You asked me.

Seemingly, your citation of such an extreme example isn't all that far removed from the common tactic of pro-abortionists who habitually come up with a rationale of incestuous rape while conveniently ignoring far more common &, for the most part, irresponsible causes of pregnancy.

My position begins with the ideal insofar as any child's best interests with respect his/her emotional health & physical safety.
Accordingly, children should rightly have - not withstanding valid reasons serving to preclude as much - the closest possible relationships with both their natural & heterosexual mother & father since these are their most appropriate role models for countless reasons in a host of areas.

That really isn't true, you know. It has become politically correct to place children for adoption with gay couples, bypassing the long line of hetero couples begging for a child. This is happening in terms of foster care for children, as well.
