Don’t get me wrong I don’t believe that a gay couple can’t create a loving and healthy relationship, but I do not think that they should be allowed to raise children. I do not believe that gay people are inferior but when it comes to raising a child with both a mother and a father or a single parent. I don’t believe a child needs to worry about how people will react to their parents. Personally I do not think that gay couples should be able to adopt children for many reasons. Don’t get me wrong I do have gay friends, and some of them agree with me. They personally wouldn’t want to expose a child to that kind of lifestyle. The gay life-style is much different than a straight persons.
Think of your time in middle school. If someone is different they got made fun of daily. Right? I wouldn’t want to be in middle school and have everyone know that my parents are gay. I can’t see how anybody would want that to happen to a child. And even in elementary school the child would get made fun of. Maybe not in pre-school but by the time they got to kindergarten all of the other children would notice something was different about that kids parents. Think of getting made fun of because of your parents. How would that feel. Because you and I know there is no way you can control what kids will say on the playground out of hearing ranges of the teachers. Children are not and never will tolerate people who in their eyes are strange. The child may not learn how to interact with other kids. And what if the child is home schooled? The child will have no social skills at al and may never learn how to interact with other people.
Another reason is that the child may have psychological damage and may instead of being an individual may be just plain strange. Yes, no child is normal, but have you ever seen a child that has two mommies? It is a strange sight to see. And the child is not like the other children. This child may have a hard time knowing how to act around people of a different sex than that of their parents. What will happen to the child when they find out that their parents are really different then everybody else’s? This child will either be normal or seriously scarred. Is this a risk we will be willing to take with our children? I will not have any part in it.

A child needs both a mother and a father or at least a single parent. Although I believe that a gay couple can create a loving and healthy relationship, I do not think that gay couples should be able to adopt children. I have gay friends, and some of them agree with me. They personally wouldn’t want to expose a child to that kind of lifestyle. The gay life-style is much different than a straight person’s.
The main reason I believe is that I don’t believe a child needs to worry about how people will react to their parents. Think of your time in middle school. If someone is different they got made fun of daily. I wouldn’t want to be in middle school and have everyone know that my parents are gay. I can’t see how anybody would want that to happen to a child. And even in elementary school the child would get made fun of. Maybe not in pre-school but by the time they got to kindergarten all of the other children would notice something was different about that kid’s parents. Think of getting made fun of because of your parents. How would that feel? You and I know there is no way you can control what kids will say on the playground out of hearing range of the teachers. Children are not tolerant and never will tolerate people who they see as strange. The child may not learn how to interact with other kids. And what if the have child is home schooled? The child will have no social skills at all and may never learn how to interact with other people.
Another reason is that the child may be damaged to a point that they have no idea that other people don’t act like their parents. There is no normal child because they are all a little bit strange to people who don’t deal with them all the time, but if you have ever seen a child that has two mommies you would be surprised at what you observe. The child is not like the other children. This child has a hard time knowing how to act around people of a different sex than that of their parents. What will happen to the child when he finds out that his parents are completely different then everybody else’s?
