No

Every person has the right to choose whether they want a child or not, no matter what their sexual orientation. Children who need a home have no bother who their parents are. A parent is a parent to a child without. It is about the safety, care and significance of the child's needs - not whether the parent is gay or not. Why is this still a thing in 2026?!

Who someone is attracted to is not a problem, but sexual orientation and gender identity have been twisted into one category when it's not the same thing. I feel as if gender ideology is being pushed onto vulnerable younger people who are confused about their sexuality, and then gender gets involved.

There isn't any argument for that position. This is about human rights and everyone's right to raise a family through whatever way is possible.

First, a child musts, in terms of being raised, need a Father and a Mother, it creates a conflict in their behavioural upbringing if they are exposed to two fathers or mothers, social hierarchy and family dynamics are effected and the LGBT community has gained infamy in exposing children to Adult content and indoctrinating transgender idealogues within said children before mental maturity can take a hold, destroying the sanctity of their youth.
Second, LGBT is a violation of long standing Christian values that should be heavily restricted, including but not limited to banning gay marriage, owning a child and getting community welfares.

I don’t have one. It shouldn’t matter what sex the parents are as long as they’re able to provide a loving and happy home for a child.

There is no counter argument. Sexuality is a basic freedom of expression and anyone should have the opportunity to adopt or start a family in whatever way works for them.

All people should be treated fairly and with respect regardless of who they love. The genitals a person has don't affect their ability to raise a child.

children shouldn’t be shown that it’s “normal” when it’s not and too many young kids are getting confused

A mother raises a boy, a father makes him a man, without a masculine role model boys run around with their emotions, when boys can’t control emotions people get stabbed and hurt

Parents are parents. All should be striving to do the best for their child and act in their best interests without having to consider whether they have a 'right' to do so.

There is no counter argument. Sexuality is a basic freedom of expression and anyone should have the opportunity to adopt or start a family in whatever way works for them.

Statistics show that teens raised by LGBT parents often have higher rates of depression, drug abuse and suicide than by straight parents

There are years of studys showing how the lack of either parent can impact a child's development. Having two mums or two dads is completely unnatural and something of which has only been normalised in recent times. This has never been acceptable.

All childred are born to a man and women and LGBT people have high rates of violence and mental health issues

It has been proven than mothers and fathers parent differently, and that both styles are needed for maximum flourishing.

There are large fears of discrimination, being adopted is difficult, throwing another thing into the mix such as gay parents is even more subject for discrimination and this can cause vast issues for the adopted child. It takes away from strong values which we are built upon, gay people should be able to get married, not in a religious building and that is all okay but not adoption.

They should be more research into LGBTQ homelife and the effects it has on children primary development before it is implemented, though overall I believe it should be implemented.

Therapists constantly see the impact having no mother or no father has on an individual’s development and the issues that these people carry into their lives. Why would be put children in this position when there’s other options

As someone who has grown up with people like this in my life I can see their approach to life and their unconventional approach to certain issues

the fact is within a child they must have a father figure from an actual male and a mother figure from an acctual female to develop and become a meember of socciety that funtions properly and not to have any issues

Male children need a father to understand how they should generally act, and a mother to understand how women should generally act, and vice versa applies for female children.

Children are not a lifestyle choice - they are a natural part of the life cycle which requires both a male and female both for conception and for subsequent development from child to adult.

The Catholic Catechism. It also strikes me as odd that the only replies I am required to give are on LGBT adoption rights; surely other issues are more important on a political level? Why should we care so much about a minority group of sinners whom society just so happens to accept at this point in history?

If you believe in god or not, the world was created so that men and women can have children through sex, it was not created so that 2 men or 2 women could take advantage of people who are uninterested in their children or just can’t afford children. The lgbt couple will also be having a negative impact on the child as the child will not be raised normal and will be raised as a child who cannot defend itself, therefore lgbt adoption should be banned

children shouldn’t be shown that it’s “normal” when it’s not and too many young kids are getting confused, infact never should be shown

100% of lgbtqia+++ whatever end up to be mentally insane. God created us the way we are and with the function that was intended. Any homosexual or transgender individual should not be allowed to have a child in their protection.

Children in Father absent homes are 4x more likely to be poor, become involved in drug and alcohol abuse, drop out of school, and suffer from health and emotional problems. - U.S. Census Bureau, Children’s Living Arrangements and Characteristics

The LGBT is not seen as part of the country or its people they dont get special rights or regulations as it was men and woman who made this world and not men on men or women on women it was straight heterosexuell men and women wgo desinged and made the country how it is today so the LGBT does not get special rights or regulations or the same rights as most of the people of our country

1. Italy recently banned Gay adoption and surrogacy because as one senator put it, "It's nature which decides this not us."
2. You need an ethical foundation you can't just say well it feels okay. My ethical foundation is Aquinas' Natural Law.

Human beings are social animals that develop via imprinting and imitating. The traditional family structure provides the best safeguards we know for carrying on into the next generation. The population in UK has only been kept afloat due o immigration. The cultural effects of treating a mother and father family as equal to other forms of relationships is one of many factors contributing to population and societal decline.

Just don't, the child is going to be gay as well and they are simply going to ruin society and harm the brains of children

I don’t feel gay people have the right to play god in a sense and just pick up children as an accessory to normalise and validate their relationships . I dont feel they are as strong an example for a child and this puts them at a disadvantage in later life .

Statistically, the drug use, depression, anxiety, mental illness, and suicide rates are much higher in teens raised by same sex parents.

LGBT adoption denies the idea of men and women having differing but equal roles. A child needs both a male and female parent, as they have different attributes, strengths and weaknesses. Without an influence of one of the sexes, the child will struggle to develop as well as their equitable peers who have both parents.

Families with both a father and a mother in the household provide both male and female rolemodels to the child. It is natural part of a family and to deny this to a child willfully is child abuse.

Adoption is all about creating a safe loving & positive environment for a generally very disturbed child. An environment that doesn't raise questions, but one that allows them to blend in seamlessly. The focus needs to be on the child rather than the needs of the people that wish to adopt. Children aren't puppies that are there to fill an adults need. Surely each precious child has the right to a father & a mother. Or are men & women essentially identical?? If people think of there being no differences between men & women, then yes, i can see that same sex parents are ok.
But I will always come back to what the child would choose. It's their choice. If they want 2 mummies because they are afraid of men, surely that is just perpetuating their views that all men are to be avoided & vice versa...

It’s isn’t appropriate for a child to have two parents of the same gender as it could confuse them into being part of the LGBTQ

Statistics show that teens raised by LGBT parents often have higher rates of depression, drug abuse and suicide than by straight parents

Bullying rates for people with LGBT parents are incredibly high, which then effects the mental health of the child.

Children need nurturing and guidance from a male and a female parent to grow up balanced and healthy.

100% gay people ruin young mind by expressing illegal love and sexual tension in front of innocent eyes like my beloved Henry. Thy should be castrated and stoned in the mental asylum just like back in the good old days. 1 in 2 zesty people have been known to be a terrorist.

All kids deserve a stable complete home base, and while this can't really be controlled on those who have children themselves, it has always been our country's duty to make sure that the house adopted children go to will be safe and ensure healthy growth on the child in all areas of their life. Statistically there is more abuse in LGBT communities, which should raise alarm bells, we need the children to be protected.

I know from personal experience with one of my friends he has two mothers and he just had a baby but he just doesn't know how to act like a father

Fears that children adopted by same-sex couples would face bullying or that their own gender identities might be affected are largely unfounded. In fact, studies suggest that same-sex families are thriving – they score particularly well in assessments of family relationships, parental wellbeing and child adjustment.

LGBTQ parents should be more careful because their children will be growing up in a different family environment than the normally.

We were created by God as Man and Woman - read Genesis 1. Young children will take on the beliefs of their parents, and to expose young children to perverted views on sexuality is just plain wrong, and against what our Creator had in mind for us.

No - Adoptions should be allowed for heterosexual parents who cannot conceive or parents who want to foster children who have been abandoned. They might be able to conceive naturally and this takes away from parents who cannot conceive due to infertility.

You need more proof than only a woman and a man can produce a child? That is my main reasoning for my stance. Two women or two men, should be able to adopt, sure, just as any single woman or man, as long as they're a financially (and uh, mentally) stable adult. But they shouldn't be treated the same as a straight couple. You're trying to mask an ideology as a fact of nature. It is not and never will be, but a lesser (or a child's) mind will take it as such.

The Bible states would not agree with this, in Leviticus chapter 18 verse 22
I believe what the Bible teaches

Parents who support the LGBT ideology have statistically reared more confused and less well-developed children than those who were raised by married, heterosexual couples.

They should not have the right to adopt a child because it is not right for a child to grow up with a man and man or woman or woman but the god told us which is man and woman is the right way

Being motherless can cause loneliness, worthlessness, feelings of being unwanted, social relationship problems, and mental depression. An absent mother can cause low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, attachment issues, and may lead to seeking caregivers or avoidant partnerships.

Children who grow up with absent-fathers can suffer lasting damage. They are more likely to end up in poverty or drop out of school, become addicted to drugs.
Diminished Self-Concept and Security: When fathers are uninvolved, children report feeling abandoned, struggling with their emotions, and experiencing self-loathing.

By what objective moral standard do claim that LGBT identifying people have a right to inflict themselves on (other peoples) children.

If you teach a kid that LGBT is good with their young minds they will agree since they don’t know any better.

Even with background checks, critics argue that children benefit from having both a mother and a father, providing distinct male and female role models for healthy development.

Although I have nothing against those who are attracted to the same sex, a large majority of the LGBT community believe in warped ideologies of gender and the ability to be something that you are not. Children are confused enough as it is, they don’t need all this nonsense.

Many fostered and adopted children are LGBT, and are often abandoned by their parents for being queer, therefore, having a diversity of people who may be more able to empathise with children than straight, heterosexual couples.

There are thousands of amazing gay couples who can provide a safe and loving home to may children in care

There is no proof that an LGBT couple couldn't provide the same stable and safe home as any heterosexual couple. Parental actions and suitability matters not on sexual orientation as there are plenty of people (as evidenced by how many children are waiting for a family) who have children by conception who are completely unsuitable to be parents. Sexual orientation and gender identity has nothing to do with the child, only with the couple. As far as the child goes, a loving, safe, nurturing, development forward family is what matters.

That it's based on a religious and learned way of thinking. And that denying people rights because of their orientation is taking away basic rights.

Studies generally show no significant differences in child outcomes between same-sex and different-sex parents when family stability, resources, and support are similar. However, external stigma can affect children’s mental health, and many studies note small sample sizes and methodological limits, meaning conclusions should be cautious

Its damaging the younger generation by introducing this idea that they can be whatever they like. They can't, no one can, we're all here to serve our purpose and you were not born a mistake .

gay people are statistically more likely to be sex offenders and or pedophiles. "the resulting proportion of true pedophiles among persons with a homosexual erotic development is greater than that in persons who develop heterosexually." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1556756/

According to the .gov stats, they are 25% more likely than anyone else to attain mental health therapy, they are also less satisfied with their lives and also receive confrontation on a regular basis.
How is this a stable environment for a child? If there were a non LBGQT person applying for adoption and they have a history of mental health and a potential unstable environment, would they be able to adopt? I think the answer is no, seeing as the the child up for adoption is more susceptible to things like abuse and mental health issues as it is, and this will be adding fuel to the fire.

LGBT communities make everything about them such as they have whole month about them whereas the war remembrance has one day

If a person adopts a child and the parent supports a certain sports team, or does a certain job, chances are the child will follow. Same goes for LGBT they will follow.

A child’s development will not be normal without the influence if both a mother and father as evidenced by single parent families.

A study has proven
Children who were deprived of maternal care during extended periods in their early lives “lacked feeling, had superficial relationships, and exhibited hostile or antisocial tendencies” as they developed into adulthood. what does this mean for children with two gay male parents.
A study (Sirota 2009) of 68 women with gay or bisexual fathers and 68 women with heterosexual fathers found a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The women (whose average age in both groups was 29) with gay or bisexual fathers had difficulty with adult attachmen…  Read moret issues in three areas: (1) they were less comfortable with closeness and intimacy; (2) they were less able to trust and depend on others; and (3) they experienced more anxiety in relationships compared to the women raised by heterosexual fathers (and mothers).
Please google more for yourself there’s plenty of evidence against LGBT adoption rights.
