Homosexuals & Mental Health

[ziggytrix]

I'm neither for nor against gay adoption, however, gay couples wishing to make a lifetime commitment do not have the same legal recognition as a straight couple, so the right to adopt is moot.

However, Pharoah, if having gay parents is not a problem when one of the parents is a biological parent, then I fail to see why it should be a problem when they are both only legally parents.

In our current society the stigma of homosexuality (in this case the stigma of having gay parents) is not something I would wish upon anyone, so on those grounds I cannot say I'm for gay adoption rights. But I have to wonder if a gay couple would not provide a better home for a child than an orphanage. Isn't that the bottom line?
