LGBTQI+ persons have existed for thousands of years, as has been documented since human records began - there are even stone age era markings that depict this. The counter argument to this is based in homophobic ideology, and has no place in our society.

To adopt is a choice with great consequence, and is not taken lightly. Further, it is not an "ideology" - LGBTQI+ is backed in scientific fact, it quite simply is not a choice as this statement presents.

If anything, we should be looking to improve upon the rights of said persons, and actively encouraging LGBTQI+ persons to adopt. Love is love, and a child being welcomed into a family regardless of their sexuality should be celebrated.
