Gay Marriage (NRR)

I think an adopted child is lucky to get a couple of caring parents regardless of their sexual orientation.
Lefty-
there is the possibility that your theories are so complex that they simply go over my head but I suspect that you were not the captain of your H.S. debate team.

Anybody who professes to reject your bigotry must be a liar or a hypocrite?
BAN this dude, already.
This is not generating dialogue--or if it is, it is a dialogue so low that it's not worth having. It's just trolling.
Sayin'. I haven't seen any statistics???or anecdotal evidence for that matter???that show that homosexual parents have a higher instance of bad parenting than heterosexual parents. Hell, considering how long they've fought for the right to marry, I bet the divorce rate would be lower too.
Also, if you're worried about the child growing up to be homosexual, you clearly believe that sexual orientation is a choice, that homosexuality is a negative, and that sexual orientation is learned by emulating parental figures. I take issue with all three of these assertions.
What's more important for a child - being in a loving home regardless of sexual orientation, or being in a straight home with 2 parents who fight and create a shitty environment for the child to be raised in?
And what, do you think they're gonna "magically" turn the kid gay? Your argument is baseless, ignorant & stupid as fuck.
I don't know why I'm even wasting my time.

OK, here is my "pretentios pseudo liberal bullshit" response:
No child is ever, EVER, adopted by a "random couple" or person.
Adoption is long grueling process that is designed to select the individual or couple who are most able and qualified to adopt.
So far the only reason you have given that a same sex couple should not adopt is that there is not both a "vagina and penis".
Your argument is weak.
Please return and give us a "down to earth actual-lefty shitless" reason why same sex couples should not be allowed to adopt.
simple is right.
you've yet to elaborate on the "additional" problems children may encounter...
being made fun of by other kids? don't need gay parents for this.
feeling like your family is strange and different from everyone else's? don't need gay parents for this.
confused about one's sexuality? don't need gay parents for this.
uncertain about leaving the toilet seat up or down? don't need gay parents for this.
not sure if you're implying that a child raised by gay parents will end up gay him/herself and if you view this as a "problem", but seems like straight parents have this covered.
The Reverend Wu! (Or is it Rabbi Wu?)Double Gay Wedding, home of the the fire humantashen. I think this was my 5th gay marriage as an officiant. When you read the christian rights' arguments against gay marriage, it exactly parallels what white supremacists were saying about interracial marriage in 1965. These fools need to fall back.
I had no idea.
Who invested you with the power to marry?
Rebbe Wu with a bit of Unitarian liturgy thrown in for the progressives in the house. I got one of the those mail order ministries and then registered with the county. I think I have done 8 or 9 at this point.
The woman in the daiquiri blue shirt is my "Auntie". Last year when I asked her what the gay community was thinking about the marriage issue she told me that they were bracing for years of backlash following the PDX, SF trials. Glad to see that we are seeing some progress. This shit is so embarrassing.
Actually, I think having two parents of the same gender would make this a no-brainer.
but I do think down is the way to go - little girls fall in and little boys have had VERY BAD experiences when the seat accidentally falls down
Take it up with your father.
No, the other one.
