    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    It seems incredibly selfish for anyone to deny some orphaned child a family because a same sex couple raising a kid doesn't feel right to them.

    General formula here is this...

    The most ideal situation in which to bring a child in to this world is with a committed, loving, male-female married household.

    That said, it is entirely possible to raise a well-adjusted child in a same-sex household.

    And as for gay adoption, I am for it. It would be unconscionable to allow a child to wallow in a foster home or orphanage when there are people willing to raise one. That said, the pecking order should give heterosexual parents the right to get first choice on children. I am not trying to be unfair to gay parents in that statement...I am thinking of the child, and that statement goes back to my belief in the first paragraph above.

    Put it this way, if you were to take 2 kids (one raised in a lesbian/gay household; the other shuffled around, displaced, and lost in the foster care system) and ask me which would more likely to be involved in street gangs and would rob me at gunpoint at the 7-11 sixteen years later, I'd say the latter.

    Wouldn't it be more beneficial to society to provide more long-term stable arrangements?
    Yeah, I think there are so many kids who need a loving environment, and they will never get it in an orphanage or getting shuffled around.

    Given the choice, if I was to be reborn an orphan, I'd definitely pick a responsible, caring heterosexual couple to raise me. But I'd take the responsible, caring same sex couple rather than stay in a bad situation. What's also really sad is that the older kids never get picked, from what I've heard.

    whats your stance on gay parents?

    do you think their kids get more love and acceptance, or more likely to be gender confused and have relationship troubles later on? Do you think they should be allowed to adopt?

    idk, all my friends are talking about this stuff it'd be nice to see some more opinions.
    Love is love. Kids need it, I don't care who gives it. No lack of crappy hetero parents. If you're gay, you are gay, and having gay/same sex parents won't change it. The only difference in the kids is, the grow up more accepting of gay people, and that's a good thing in my book.
