LGBTQ people are not any different than heterosexual people and i don't see the point in discriminating against a same sex couple for the sheer idea of previous ideology. The DSM-II classified homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1968 and has since been adapted to fit accordingly. We cannot use past ideologies to permit our views towards whether or not a LGBTQ couple can adopt or not. The argument of needing both a mother and father figure is entirely null due to single parents who may not get the choice of giving their child a different sex parent. We adapt to our norms within our environment and whether we like it or not, LGBTQ is a norm within the western world in the modern day and should be treated as such, especially in basic rights to be a parent to a child who would thrive with at least one parental figure.
