Nor should you. They would have very little chance in life, the poor wee mites.WATFORD O said:Gay couples should NEVER adopt.
Les Biehn said:I was reading a thing recently about fathers that abuse their children and out of three stories one was sexual on a boy, one was hitting of a boy and the other was sexual on two girls. So do you still think its only gay people who molest children, and that they only molest boys.
sir danny cullip said:Shocking case. I thought the point was that it was mainly blokes that abuse children and given that two men are now allowed to adopt children it potentially exposes children to these risks. In a minority of cases obviously.
Whoa, hold your horses then. Abuse of children in care accounts for only a certain percentage. A fair whack (no idea of the figures) happens in the home or family environment, a smaller amount at school, or even in the park or the street.looney said:read it on the net somewhere. Its the percentage of abuse victims in care. Not a populace cross section.
The Large One said:That bit I understand. My point is, what does it have to do with the fact these people were homosexuals?
You can't have it both ways. You say a man abusing a boy is gay (as well as a paedophile), yet you say paedophilia is not a sexual issue. And if it's not a sexual issue, why mention that the man is gay?

Les Biehn said:I would rather be bought up by a lesbian or gay couple that cared about me then by a straight couple that didn't.

sir danny cullip said:Im not saying they should, just think its an interesting issue. The reason I have for being against homosexuals being allowed to adopt children is because of the way it effects the child in years to come, call me old fashioned but I'd much prefer to be brought up by a man and a woman than two women or two men. Obviously some people would rather be brought up by a homosexual couple than spend the rest of their life in care and I accept that point as well, just my opinion.
