You are worried if gays will molest/rape the kids they adopt. That is your concern. Wonderful.
Is that NOT a legitimate concern?

Is it NOT just as legitimate as being concerned that in re-marriages, step-fathers often molest/adopt the kids they adopt?

Sounds to me like you have some "interesting" issues with this...

I think you mean italicized. And, thank you. I already knew that.

No, I meant exactly what I said. Too bad you couldn't figure that out.

No, it's a hateful lie.

No, because it isn't legitimate to begin with.

I'm gay, Sherlock. Of course I have issues with negative associations like this.

Frankly, I don't care if you're gay - but obviously you are accustomed to using the "I'm gay" excuse as your own Get Out of Jail Free card.

I also find it appalling that you're not the least bit concerned about children being raped and molested - by homosexuals or heterosexuals.

I guess that explains why you're so inflammed by this thread.

You asked me about my interest in the topic, and I told you why. I don't know how you could possibly gather I'm accustomed to using the "gay card" through my response.

And, yes, you do care that I'm gay. Don't pretend like I can't pick up on your views loud and clear.

I never stated anything to that degree.

I now see that you're hyper-sensitive, and read things into what people say. How nice of you.

You can "pick up on my views" loud and clear? Oh really? Would that be the view that we should try to protect little children from being molested and/or raped. Egads, how god-awful of me!

I think the point is, all adoptions should be concerned with whether the parents molest them. Whether they are gay or not is arbitrary and irrelevant to this type of investigation into an adopting parent's behavior. Actually, this is hardly restricted to adoptions.
Basically: child rape bad. Should be safe-guarded against. No child rape good.

I usually don't have to dig too deep with your ilk.

Like you said, you don't know. It would be best if you accepted that.

My ilk?

What exactly is "my ilk?" If "my ilk" is people who think that perverts shouldn't be raping and molesting children, then I'll proudly claim it.

It's unfortunate that your ilk get so upset when people speak out against children being raped and molested. But I guess that shows what your ilk is all about.
