Firstly I'd like to say that I am 100% behind gay couples being able to adopt.

Secondly I'd like to point out that the 'female nurturing role' is a result of socialisation, not of nature, which has meant some people in this forum are very misinformed.

Also, I cannot believe the amount of ignorance in this forum! "Being brought up by gay parents means you're gunna turn out gay, that can't be allowed" WHAT?! That's the most absurd argument I've ever heard. Homosexuality is not a disease, it's an expression of freedom and human rights for many people. Even I as a heterosexual person can see that.

The bottom line is, if the child is going to be loved in a safe environment with a family, rather than in a care home being just another statistic, then how can anyone object to that?

Common sense? Common ignorance more like.
