Having any sort of discriminatory checks, infringes on civil liberties. By preventing access to adoption to LGBTQ couples, you are not only preemptively snuffing out a possible happy family, but also leaving children stuck in an already traumatizing experience. Some of whom will never escape from.
@9GKVZDL7mos7MO
i agree. there is zero reason lgbt couples should not be able to adopt children when straight couples can
@Ars-Gratia-Artis4mos4MO
That's not what he said. It's saying gay and straight people have to hit the same criteria for adoption. That's equal buddy.
@9GKVKNBIndependent7mos7MO
I fully agree, people claim that they don't kids adopted by a queer couple because "kids need a mom and a dad to develop all the skills they need" but there are many single mothers or fathers who raise their kids well by themselves, and a queer couple can do that as well. Others claim that it's "indoctrinating the children and/or brainwashing them to be gay" while taking their child to church every Sunday, putting them in Vacation Bible School every summer, and sometimes even sending them to Christian schools where they only learn things from the bible and learn that anyone who doesn't believe is going to be burned and tortured in hell for all eternity. Someone is indoctrinating children and it isn't the ones trying to get them out of an orphanage or the foster care system.

“Having any sort of discriminatory checks, infringes on civil liberties.”
Disagree. Having pre-adoption screenings for EVERYONE is incredibly important. My parents just adopted a kid and it's a rigorous process. It's important to make sure they're not going from one craphole to the other. You're not preventing access to adoption by LGB folk, you're making sure they don't end up with bad ones. It's different.
@9GKVFNX7mos7MO
they are not right in the mind and this dumb thing will continue to grow through the children they adopt because they will force it on them to become apart of this thing.
@97GPQSW2yrs2Y
Children in the foster system suffer from emotional, psychological, acadmic, and other developmental delays. Being in a stable, loving home, is always better for them than being shuttled between households. This isn't about the rights of same-sex couples to have children, but about the rights of children to be raised with as much love, safety, and stability as possible.
@9954D2R1yr1Y
BFFR cause why are you worried about what they do and who they adopt children in foster care need homes so why would you deny a child a home they could have just because there gay?
@9FZPLY87mos7MO
LGBTQ+ people should be given the same rights as any straight couple should. We are all people and we should all be given the same opportunity to have children, especially if we are unable to produce children with our anatomy.
@9FLP3PZ8mos8MO
The background checks should remain the same for everyone, regardless of who they are. We must do our best to ensure children are not being placed into abusive homes.
@9GXGW296mos6MO
If everyone passes the same background check, there should be no problem with the safety or developement of an adopted child for anyone. Their parents will help them learn and form an identity, not destroy them or make them immoral.

@9FL4L4W8mos8MO
That kid is getting taken care of and loved meanwhile it doesn't matter your parents sexuality because even straight parents can be bad parents.
@9HPG9NY5mos5MO
There is currently no reputable statistical measure that suggests LGBT or non-heterosexual adoptive parents are inferior to heterosexual parents (per 2004 American Psychological Association findings), and there are still plenty of children that would benefit from an adoptive home instead of foster systems or orphanages.
@9FNYSZ6Republican8mos8MO
A child doesnt need two moms or two dads. For a child to grow and mature into a proper adult, the child needs both a mother and a father.
@9GMKRFQ7mos7MO
LGBTQ people are more likely to raise the children they are given for adoption that straight couples. The only reason for people to avoid it is because they don't want people to accept that queer people are still people and not some kind of demon.
@9FJ8PHH8mos8MO
No matter what the kid needs a mom and dad to look up to. They will be struggling without one of them. Even when they have the same background as straight couples the kids won't have either a father figure or a mother figure.
@9FMZHJM8mos8MO
The adopted orphan is raised naturally, and never shows any outstanding difficulties, challenges, or differences aside from their being orphaned in their preadolescence. This has been tracked and observed by scientists everywhere.

Love is love and I know of way more broken, dysfunctional, “traditional” households of one man and woman than I know of dysfunctional households with same-sex parents.
