For those who have said they are against gay couples adopting, I'd be interested to know why?

Is it down to the fact that they are gay that you would object to them adopting, or the fact that they are in a same-sex relationship and want to bring the child up in that environment?

What would your view be in the situation of an openly bi-sexual person who happens to be in a relationship with someone from the opposite sex - do you think that couple should be allowed to adopt?

Maybe because they don't want to date a man with kids?

[Ecosse]

the fact that they are in a same-sex relationship and want to bring the child up in that environment?

Yes, this is COMPLETELY wrong (in my opinion) on so many counts and at odds with thousands of years of human evolution.

Can you imagine any other species evolving to this state of affairs ?

It's just another failure from the NuLabour social engineering program that has been forced on society.

I think a gay couple should adopt Ecosse.

Thank god I'm past the need for adoption.

in't adoption by definition at odds with evolution? If nature won't let you have kids nature is trying to tell you something and if a childs parents die and the family can't take care of him in the animal world he dies as well..therefore the evolution arguement is not only thin..it is incredibly poorly thought out.

If it was against evolution surely homosexuality wouldn't exist as it would have evolved out of the species?

Sorry to tell you that homosexual sex & transexuality have both been recorded in the animal kingdom as well.

Gay penguins also adopted an egg and successfully reared the chick as their own.

Homosexual sexual behavior occurs in the animal kingdom, especially in social species, particularly in marine birds and mammals, monkeys, and the great apes. Homosexual behavior has been observed among 1,500 species, and in 500 of those it is well documented.[133] [4]. This discovery constitutes a major argument against those calling into question the biological legitimacy or naturalness of homosexuality, or those regarding it as a meditated social decision. For example, male penguin couples have been documented to mate for life, build nests together, and to use a stone as a surrogate egg in nesting and brooding. In a well-publicized story from 2004, the Central Park Zoo in the United States replaced one male couple's stone with a fertile egg, which the couple then raised as their own offspring.

Nice to know there's at least one Scottish bloke out there who agrees!

I live in the 'Pink Triangle' and know a couple of gay people, I've no problem with them.

Pink Triangle?..Isn't that your nickname on the Celtic Supporters forum?

I'd have a far bigger problem with religious bigots adopting a child than a gay couple. 

Interesting thought, but if you think about it the suppression of homosexuality by society (and in most cases instigated and reinforced by religious doctrine) is the reason that there are (and have been) many gay people who are forced into 'marriages' to conform to society's 'norms'.  In these marriages, the gay person then has a child, who is brought up by at least one gay parent!  If homosexuality wasn't considered a 'blight' on society by so many, there'd be fewer gay people in hetro-sexual partnerships, and therefore fewer gay parents.

Oh and a big LOL @ the misunderstanding of evolution when many talk about homosexuality being 'unnatural'.  It's far more natural than the celibacy practiced by nuns and priests.

Who's talking about nun's and preist's ?

Have a poll - Do You Think Homosexuality is Normal or Abnormal ?

Brainwashed labour num-nuts on this subject.

Do a google on 'section 28 ' as well. What a joke this country has become.

Yes, it's a joke.  I much prefer the way Iran deals with the issue of homosexuality.  Much fairer and far more understanding.

You already won the bet, and now we're agreeing ?
