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.





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.

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.
