LGBT parents and straight parents are the same. Some will be good parents, some will be bad. I don't think there's anything that makes LGBT parents better than straight ones. Similarly there is nothing that makes them worse than straight parents.

The child will be cared for the same by a gay couple as they would be with a straight couple. Two people who want to have children are going to love and care for the child no matter what their gender is.
@9G5X7667mos7MO
No matter the gender or sexuality of a couple they should have the same rights as a cisgender straight couple, they are still human and should not be ostracised due to other peoples negative opinions and lack of education when it comes to the modern world. A family should be happy and safe, look for if they are good and safe people, not what they identify as or who they are together with.
@9FHSQR27mos7MO
A safe and happy family is the most important thing, regardless of sexuality. It is more than possible for a child to be raised in an unsafe heterosexual family than a homosexual one. Adoption agencies should look at the individuals who are adopting, not there sexuality.
@9G6WW9R7mos7MO
Straight Couples and Gay couples should be treated the same when it comes to adoption rights. Being gay shouldn’t limit your ability to start a family. The focus should be on the children and finding them a place to call home and a family to call their own.
@9GN542W6mos6MO
all people of any sexuality should be able to adopt unless they are deemed unfit by drug issues , criminal records, etc .
@9GJT7DF6mos6MO
this is completely untrue. some gay couples suit as better parents than some straight couples, visa versa. they should look at every couple individually instead of saying no to them only because they’re gay.

Gay couples are no less than a straight couple and so there is no reason that gay couples shouldnt be allowed to vote, no less offering straight couples the priority
@9GK3SLR6mos6MO
Gay couples are just as naturally occurring as straight couples, and they are likely to be more accepting and educating than many straight couples due to their experiences.
@9FQHR8N7mos7MO
straight couples, since the beginning of time, have been able to produce their own children. they are also the reason there are so many children in the adoption and foster system. whilst some straight couples genuinely want a child and physically cannot, gay couples have no way of having a child without either surrogate, sperm donation or adoption. gay couples are less likely to divorce or be in unhappy or violent relationships with spouses, contradicting statistics on straight couples, why should we not allow gay couples to adopt when they would raise their children in happy, healthy homes with food on the table and a loving family and support system around them.
@9FJBVX47mos7MO
How well you parent does not depend on your sexuality, it depends on your skills and personality. It is a violation of someone’s human right to deny them the right to adoption based on their sexuality. A child will not turn out any different whether their parents are the same gender or not.
@9F7368X8mos8MO
Straight couples have more chances of getting pregnant naturally than gay couples and gay couples have red blood just like straight couples, humanely they are no different to straight couples and are no less capable of loving and caring for a child.
@9F6JPZQ8mos8MO
If gay people want kids they are taking a kid out of the system rather than putting one in that’s good
@9GQ5M3Y6mos6MO
By adopting that system you disregard same sex couples who could be in a better position all round- financial and other.
@9GJMP9K6mos6MO
You can be almost certain that same-sex couples are not using adoption as a last option to become parents after their fertility treatment failed.
@9GJCFRD6mos6MO
Why does it matter whether two men or two women adopt the child? Having a family is the most essential thing and gay couples have just as much right to adopt as anybody else. A child would be no worse off with a gay couple than straight couple. A child with even one parent would be fine as many single parents raise good, respectful young children so saying that a child needs both a mother and a father is baloney. The priority should be helping children find homes, not the sexual orientation of the parents. Furthermore, why prioritise a straight couple? the child could be matched with a straig… Read more
And why is that exactly? With evidence to back it, if you please. I would then await the response, review what I was given, and continue from there. No reason why we can't try to have a reasonable discussion.

These children should be allowed to grow up in a normal household, it isn’t fair to force them to grow up in an alternative lifestyle
