  • ABSOLUTE NO!!! Children are to be raised in a male & female role model, esp those in needed dearly. Adoption about the benefit of children esp those in needed. So think of the needs & proper developments of children, this is not about discriminating homosexuality.

  • God also encouraged a lot of disgusting and vain and downright evil stuff. I wouldn't base my moral judgements on 'his' word. Parenting is basically a crapshoot and most of the time it is luck and not being a a-hole in my observation. Same-sex parents are just as incompetent as the regulars, don't discriminate!

  • It is disgusting that the children in this case dont get to have a say I am not against gay people at all however I do think the children have to be thought of first as they dont have a say if they want two mothers or two fathers. If they were asked I am sure they would say they want what is mostly normal a mother and father.

  • No!! I would never agree to this. It is totally wrong.
    A child should be brought up in the right way. With a Mum & Dad. Not two men, or two women. Homosexuals disgust me, & the very thought of them bringing up a child revolts me.

  • In support of this bill. The needs of the child comes first, and if a same sex couple can provide adequate care: great. In the end, it takes a village to raise a child! Role models and influences of both sexes still exist even around a gay couple! Excellent that this has come to light finally.

  • No way! This is not a fair thing for any child. Kids deserve the right to at least start there life in the way Mother nature intended. The poor kids would be ridiculed to the point of committing suicide. Disgraceful idea!
