Homosexuality continues to be very controversial worldwide. In this era, homosexuality has become more normal and more accepted by most of human beings with the exception of giving them the right to adopt children. How can two people of the same sex become parents? The big-question is, “Should they have the right to adopt children?” Many people would reply with a big-no, homosexuals do not consider giving up an option. For centuries, gays have been fighting to be accepted in the society, as time has elapsed they have seen more acceptance, the more acceptance gays acquired, the more freedom gays prevail and gives them more strength to being able to come out of the closet, especially those that are afraid to be criticized for such sexual orientation.
The gay population is indeed expanding around the world, but how normal will it be for children to grow up in such custody? Heterosexual people have strongly supported the government to ban every law that could give gay and lesbians the right to adopt children. As long as the opponents keep denying homosexuals the right to become fathers or mothers of a child, no matter what they do, it won’t be granted. Say no to laws that support to adopt children by gays. Gays should not be allowed to adopt children.
Based on an online research, lesbians and gay men are more likely to molest children. Studies indicate that children in a homosexual household are four times more likely to identify as homosexual or get involved in homosexual behavior than children raised in single-parent households. Since 1997 when Anita Bryant led a statewide campaign to over-turn Dade’s county gay rights law. The law has been challenge several times, but has not been overturned and remains on the books today. People will remain in opposition to such laws. Currently, Florida specifically bans gay and lesbians from adoption. Six other states around the country have also currently considered bans on gay and lesbians foster care and/or adoption parents, those states are Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.
As heterosexual people protest against gay people to adopt children, others devote their support towards them. Scientists experiment on how likely children’s behavior, learning abilities, stability, lifestyle, and sexual developments are in comparison of both sides, heterosexual and gay parents. It has been proved that children are more likely to grow up with a father and mother’s influence than those in gay homes. There has been lots of debating, striking, and fights against homosexual rights, but future-wise, who knows who will then win the battle or the war. Religious people are the only ones who will never accept homosexuality. The Bible fifth commandment says, “Honor thy father and thy mother,” but there is no amendment that says, “Honor thy father and thy father,” or “Honor thy mother and thy mother.”
My humble opinion about gay people adopting children, without being disrespectful, is that it is not logical, is awkward. I think a child needs to be raised and nurtured by a father and a mother. Every child deserves the warmth and shelter of a family, but that is not the proper way to provide those needs. There are lots of associations around the country that care about those children. How can we lead our children towards the future? Imagine what the future will become by devoting support to children adoption by gays. It sounds irrational. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unattended, abandoned, unfortunate children, due to parent’s unresponsiveness. We do not live in a perfect world, but I dot not support such a law.
