Anyway, arguments stating that it isn't a good idea because of the children and what their outcome will be, to me, is complete BS. I know that many kids who are raised by homosexual parents turn out perfectly fine. The only negative outcome for kids being raised by homosexual parents is the descrimination towards them from outside sources. What goes on in the home however, is the same as what goes on in a house filled with a mother and a father. Love, attention, and all the other basics a child needs to grow healthy and nurished. I don't see a problem with gays adopting a child. If they want to have a family, then so be it. But they shouldn't be descriminated against.
How do you know that their children will turn gay? Even if they do, I do not see any harm in that. Might as well tell everyone to not let them adopt children, because the same goes for abusive parents, and racist parents. Will their children turn out to be abusive and racist? Most likely. But you do not see anything being done about that. Nowadays, kids are starting to learn that it isn't good to be racist, and that it isn't right abuse others. They are being taught. So that can be prevented. Just because their parents are gay, does not mean that they will turn out just like them.
