Homosexual animals would die out if not for the fact that HUMANS give them children to raise.
What? Homosexual animals don't usually raise offspring, they just live their lives and mate with each other. Not the entire species is gay, just the individual animals that happen to be, the heterosexual ones still have babies.
The same should be true for people. *If the gays didn't get their kids from someone else, the gays would die out. *Society is teaching that being gay is just a part of life, but if kids were taught that being gay was wrong and unnatural, they wouldn't they run around thinking, "Hey, I think I might be gay, maybe I should try..." or "It's okay to be gay"
You do realize that straight people can have gay children, right? And that children don't just magically turn gay if they have gay parents? And that gay couples adopting children is a new thing, yet we've had homosexuals for the entirity of human history. We are taught that it's wrong and unnatural, why do you think there's so many gay teen suicides and people in the closet? If you think society is very accepting of us in America you're blind, gay is used nonchalantly to describe anything stupid or unwanted, but yeah, we're accepted. :|
My dad's homophobic and most of my family is Mormon; if I came out to them no one would say it's alright and a part of life, they'd probably stop talking to me, except for my dad, who would have a long talk with my mom and at least tolerate it, hopefully. *
Back to the adoption aspect- *You truly can't argue that someone taking in a child is wrong especially when the child needs a home. *It's the OTHER side that everyone overlooks- WHY DO THEY WANT TO ADOPT??? To say that you want to adopt because it's IMPOSSIBLE for you to get your own is just dumb. *However, if one of the parents (in a straight marriage) is infertile, you don't say, "Oh it's impossible for us to have kids, can we have one?" *you would say, "We tried and tried but were unable to have any."
Um, I don't think adoption centers are interested in people's amount of copulation before doming to the center. They just want to get the children a home so they don't end up screwed over for the rest of their lives.
Essentially those two sentences are the same thing; when you're infertile you can't have children without expensive medical stuff. Lesbians can have children through artificial incemination, so it's not entirely impossible for them.*
But still, if you want a child to raise you want them wether or not you are fertile or straight. The question of why someone would want to adopt is the same as why they would want to have children conventionally.
Now that I noticed... WIKIPEDIA IS NOT 100% RELIABLE FOR INFORMATION!!! this article has what, 1-2 paragraphs on the topic? *Why? *Because there is so little on the topic.
No source is 100% reliable. The Wikipedia hating is stupid, they cite their sources at the bottom of every page and have fact checkers, if I disagree with something on the page I check it with other sources.*
Of course there isn't a ton of research on the topic right now, we're just barely coming *in to time where idiotic ideals about sexuality and gender are being dissolved. I'm sure if you look around the wikipedia sources and other websites you'll find more information.
