Totally agree, its not the same and should never be compared that way. It is, however, a good option in some circumstances whilst we have such high child poverty rates. A license would obviously not be an option for gay couples, but they could certainly be looking for some fulfilment in adoption, rather than a selfish stamping of feet and crying about "I want my own baby" attitude.

There comes a point where you should if you are LGBT (you know the whole lot will want a piece of the action, Jenner is already making noises about kids) be meeting society at least halfway when it comes to kids. Its not about any religious reasoning, as that debate just goes round and round and, lets face it, is fairly easy to rebuff from a gay perspective in today's climate, its just from a natural point of view and what our society accepts as reasonable.
