Gays are treated as more dangerous than felons, drug offenders and known child abusers -- none of whom is categorically barred from adopting.
What Mr. Chapman's statement proves is that the law needs to be changed to bar the above from adopting - not that gays are any more able to adopt.
According to evidence cited by the judge,
I'm sure you could get that "evidence" right off the NAMBLA or GLAAD web sites.
gays are slightly more likely than heterosexuals to suffer psychiatric problems, engage in substance abuse and smoke
Homosexuality is an unrecognized and untreated sexual developmental disorder that causes untold miseray and suffering and causes its sufferers to die by an average age of 42. See, I can cite "evidence", too.
Would orphaned and abandoned children be better off if every one of them could be raised by stable, loving, heterosexual couples? Possibly.
Mr. Chapman totally fails to understand the difference between possible and probable.
“Gays are treated as more dangerous than felons, drug offenders and known child abusers — none of whom is categorically barred from adopting.”
I noticed that child molesters weren’t mentioned, or is that included in child abusers?
There is nothing wrong with the laws, they do not need changing. The screening process for adoption is so tough and thorough, ALL of the categories Me. Chapman cites would be disqualified/denied. In fact, where homosexuals are allowed to adopt, the screening process for heterosexuals who wish to adopt, is much more rigorous/strict than for homosexuals. I know, I have seen some wonderful people be denied for the most ridiculous reasons.
If it is a homosexual’s natural state to practice a sexual lifestyle that procludes them from procreating, why do they desire to become parents? Is their natural state to nurture or to not nurture? Which of these is driven by their instincts and which of these is driven by their desires?
Things that make me go hmmmmm......
In my opinion, given the above questions, the adoption issue is nothing but advancing agendas to the gay community. I won’t assume it is anything more sinister than that, but their sexual behaviour and their desire to adopt is in direct conflict, therefore I can only conclude that it is agenda driven.
