Same Sex Adoption is not a Game

A friend of mine occasionally wrote for this paper, mostly criticizing the articles their contributors publish. Needless to say, after the editors decided to publish this disgrace to journalism, she won't be taking any part in the paper any longer. The sad thing is, this paper is run almost exclusively by students.

Anyways, more on the topic, does anyone actually believe this issue (LGBT adoption) should be given space in the media?

Of course it needs space,Queer couples have the right to adopt children.To say otherwise means supporting Heterosexism;such is unacceptable in every manner.Equality in every sector.

Anti-LGBT people need to be called out on their bullshit at every turn, they are fighting to preserve the status quo, so ignoring issues like gay adoption only serves to further their agenda

That is such bullshit. Did my mother "experiment" on my by divorcing my father and moving in with her mother, effectively raising me with two same-sex "parents?"

If we follow this joker's logic to it's natural conclusion, we'd have to make divorce illegal for couples with underage children.

There are a ton of assholes out there, who would love to see divorce illegal under any circumstance

Of course. Religious and social reactionaries want to argue that LGBT people should not have the right to be adoptive parents, and that backwardness needs to be challenged.

People against same-sex adoption really need to take their fingers out of their arses! If every country allowed same-sex adoption, think of how many children would have homes and families! I can tell you now that I'd rather have gay parents than no parents at all.

[Quail]

This article really promotes the idea that the only possible stable environment for a child is with a married mother and father, which is bullshit. A child needs stability and love, whether that be from biological parent(s), adoptive parent(s), grandparents, etc. Children can do well in all kinds of family situations, and actually the factor that most influences a child's life chances is social class.

One of the points made in the article, that LGBT people are more likely to suffer from substance abuse or poor mental health is missing the point. The reason LGBT people tend to have poorer mental health is because of the kind of discriminatory and heteronormative beliefs that this article is perpetuating.

After the abolition of capitalism, there would hardly be anybody giving their babies up anyway

I always like articles like this, because by laying their cards on the table right away and proclaiming the heterosexual two-parent nuclear family to be the natural, universal and eternal form of human kinship, they make it entirely clear that they haven't the slightest clue what they're talking about, haven't once glanced at a sociological or anthropological text on the matter, or, hell, even read a book written before 1950, so you can reject the whole thing without having to soil your eyes reading more than a few lines of it.

It's a serious cog in the works, isn't it? "The heterosexual two-parent nuclear family is necessary to the development of emotional healthy children, therefore we're going to raise these kids in an orphanage." :blink:
