Do you have any idea how many children are in the system waiting to be adopted in the U.S. alone? Not to mention all the children from other countries in addition?
http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/...waiting2006.htm
Children in Public Foster Care Waiting to be Adopted 2006 - 126,967
That number is consistent too. An astounding number of children are left to rot in the system. Being with two loving individuals in a home where they will be given attention and a place to feel like they belong, whether it be 2 men, 2 women, or a man and a woman, is WAY WAY better than leaving them in foster care. |

Oh man, you're totally right. Whatever happens, those kids are obviously much better off in foster homes with 12 other children while their [mostly] heterosexual rat- cracker "parents" stay home all day on the government's dime, having their way with them behind closed doors. |
As though homosexuals are incapable of being inadequate parents.
I hate this notion that homosexual parents automatically equals a swell childhood. |

Apparently up-bringing from heterosexual parents didn't help you appreciate the weak points of a straw-man logical fallacy. |

Nobody's claimed that. Foster parents are unproven. There are good ones and bad ones, and their sexual orientation isn't important. However, if a child is in fostercare, their biological parents have already proven to be unsuitable. It really isn't a difficult concept to grasp. |

I know exactly what a strawman argument is.
Apparently being against homosexual marriage = a closet case, an idiot.

Yeah. Nobody's claimed that. But it's more than obvious that that's what they're implying.
Not that I have a problem with a child being raised by homosexual parents, as I already stated that in my earlier posts. |

I agree with SYSTEM-J here... as long as the parents are stable and put the child first, there should be no problems. |

No they aren't. Read the context of the thing you're quoting. Hal wasn't even rebuking the notion that homosexuals could be bad parents. He was rebuking the notion that a kid being picked on at school for having gay foster parents is worse than leaving them in an orphanage. |

Okay, I'll concede to that. |
