Argument is futile. If it was the American way we would vote and decide.

But, then we have this pestilence called judges, and they go around changing laws.

As I stated earlier, I believe a man and a women united in wedlock, is the best way to raise children.
And the medical community disagrees.

So you would rather have a child rot in foster care or a group home, rather than be raised by two loving parents of the same gender?

And no, we don't get to vote as a country on things like this. Do you think we should all be able to vote on whether or not black people can have the right to vote or own land? If the country decides, then it will become law? That's why we have a little thing called checks and balances in this country.

I don't like children rotting anywhere, you are so silly.

Black people have been voting for years, and are not even remotely vialble in this argument.

You sure jump to conclusions.

"The best interest of the child" should = 1 Father and 1 Mother.

Not 2 Penises.

Gay and Lesbians should get a puppy (dog) to replace their maternal instincts.

Good.

This is a win for everyone directly involved. The child is no longer in foster care and is in a more stable environment, the taxpayers' burden of paying for a child in a foster home is relieved, and a couple of people who love each get to raise a family they otherwise could not have.

I would take the foster care, instead of a homosexual lifestyle.

I'll take two people willing to take responsibility for the upbringing of a child over a welfare state.

So which would be preferable? A child in a home with two parents (same sex) who love and want it, or a child growing up in a group home with no parents at all?

It is viable in this argument, you see, because we cannot vote as a whole to deny one group of people rights. You better believe back then, people were saying similar things about black people "we should be able to vote as a country to deny them the right to vote".

So you'd rather have a child live in a group home with 20 other troubled children, and never know the love of a parent, than have a child be raised by two men. That's really sad, and that's why it's a good thing that you're not the one who gets to decide for these poor children.

There was a group home full of kids that went to my local high school. Incredibly sad and I was friends with a lot of them. 2 of them committed suicide. Very sad growing up thinking you are not loved or wanted. I would never put a child through that over being in a household where they are loved.

So sad that bigotry exceeds even those bounds of putting a child into a loving home.

Really? What about when it's either foster care (20 kids with no real parents in a group home) or being adopted by 2 loving parents of the same sex?

Really, really sad that you would choose a life in a group home over a life with 2 same sex parents. What on Earth do you think will happen?

Because best for the child mean mother and father.
So, no single parent adoptions are allowed in that state?
