Child abuse can take many forms, I am in no way stating that the child is in any sexual danger any more so that with heterosexual parents. Society is cruel especially kids cruel to one another, will the child be brought up with certain views because his mummy and daddy are men, off course they will. Will the child's parenting be accepted on a social level among his peers of course it will, they will neither be bullied or abused about because everyone in society now knows it's the norm to be gay. Some of you boys would need to cop on a PC world is OK but when you are leaving a child open to years of torment and victimization because some government official thought Billy and Peter would be great dads you would need to get a grip. And as for the evidence crew, we all grew up and know what kids are like unless you lead a very sheltered life, where's the decades of research to show that two men adopting a child does them any good. In fairness to Elton John his children will never be in proper society , their proper society is probably everyone has for or five daddy's!
So leave them in the orphanage?
As opposed to having them adopted by gays, then yes.
But the argument against the Gay parents was "you are leaving a child open to years of torment", presumably from ignorant children that are somehow innately homophobic. Leaving the child parentless in an orphanage, when a loving couple is available & willing to adopt, to my mind is far greater abuse.
There is no mother - loving couple my hole what maternal instincts and emotional help will two gay men be to a child, oh that's right they probably are women born into men's bodies, Jesus wept!
If anything happened my missus (God forbid) then I would like to think I, as a man, would be able to still provide a loving, supportive role for my child with plenty of emotional help. Don't think I would hand him in to the authorities and say that I, as a man, don't have the maternal instincts to look after this child so he's better off in an orphanage. Plenty of single men have bought up kids - I don't get your logic that two men are incapable.
In your highly educated opinion, can a single man bring up a kid?
Totally, that answer you ok?
