I believe it's more about the love that's given and not the sexuality of the couple in question. There's no evidence whatsoever kids growing up under two moms or two dads are more likely to be gay. Sexuality is written in your DNA from the time you're born.


I'm getting the impression that on this thread people are sort of confusing two issues:

Gay Marriage

Gay Adoption

It seems like many of us here are debating the merits of Gay Marriage by analyzing whether or not two gays make for a good nuclear family for a child. But it's not the same issue. If they don't [make for a good nuclear family], then they should not be allowed to adopt. But it's hard to institute something like that when singles can adopt. So how do you stop two people from adopting? You can't.

Now if you are concerned about the example two parents of the same gender would set for a child, then you must allow them to adopt, but you forbid them to marry, so as to not confuse the child.
