What's the arguments?
For the kids?
Gay couples who who adopt kids probably do it because they ACTUALLY WANT children, unlike the absurd amount of proper families out there, my friends included, who are unhappy little families because of an untimely accident. At least these couples weigh the concerns, the expenses, the consequences, etc...and chose to accept a child...I don't see an argument for the kids.
For traditional religious purposes?
Let the churches forbid it, that's fine. I try to be very open-minded about it all, but I'll be the first to admit when I see gay PDA it freaks me out a little bit. So what...I'll get over it. The church can ban it, but what right does our gov't (mine being one of the 11) to deny these people? They don't even get a claim of separate but equal here where civil unions are now banned.
Are we trying to force people into lives of heterosexuality? Is it a choice......I can't say, but I can say it's absurd to deny anyone the right at the governmental level to be married...churches can ban it all they want...and if it has the same effect, I don't care...its just not a governmental role...we live in such a conservative land right now...at a time when I genuinely thought that we were as a people becoming somewhat more liberal.
I personally think Civil Unions are BS...I think its another separate water fountains/separate but equal diversion from the real problem and that there is but one proper solution.
That's just my thoughts...
...gave proof through the night, that our land was filled with homophobes...

Best post ever on this subject.
I would rather see Tyrone and Dave in a committed relationship, who are financially capable of raising children, and take a child into their home than LaShawn with 4 kids by 4 different men, without a clue on how she's going to provide for all of them.
But, for what I've heard on this board--heterosexual promiscuity is more accepted than homosexual commitment.
