and, should a hetero, biological single parent with lack of money, have more rights over his own child than a financially stable, prospective, adoptive couple?

answer: of course - 100% of the time.
but what do the SSM group think of this?
What does this have to do with SSM? The single parent has custody. The couple (Homo or Hetero) would like to take over custody of a child whose parents do not for what ever reason chose to raise the child.

perhaps there had been a previous divorce.
let's say the mother gained custody of the child then put it up for adoption later due to unforseen circumstances.
then the original father and an SS couple both wanted to adopt.
should the original father have automatic choice?
I think he should. (let's assume he was capable but perhaps less financially solvent that the SS couple)
I am sure this is confusing to children, especially those that are taught a different set of values at home. I honestly don't know why they have to have assemblies and pride parades, you certainly don't see heterosexuals doing this. I believe sexual preference to be a private thing and should remain that way, no need to announce it to the world.

Every day is a heterosexual 'pride parade' with heterosexuals announcing their 'sexual preference' to the world. You just don't notice it because you're heterosexual.
Two couples are interested, one hetero the other gay (everything else being equal)
which one should get the kid?
Something you are not getting, being a closed minded bigot doesn't help, the Gay or Lesbian couples tend to take children no one else wants, so there isn't a Hetero couple in competition with them.
so it seems that you feel biological parenting has little value.
The commodity of babies.
Nice (sarcasm)
errr..... no never said that, if possible in most cases biological parenting is better in my opinion, but in your scenario the choice was between two non biologicly related couples
