How many of you think you would have turned out any different had you had two das or two mas?

Different isn't always a bad thing you know.

I have no idea on the figures in Ireland on the amount of children needing an adopted home but let's say it is less than the amount of couples looking for 2 or 3 children. If all these couples pass all the criteria to adopt and are offering a loving home then why should gay couples be considered when (again a guess) the majority of the population would not approve of gay couple adoption.

If there were not enough loving houses for the children then gay couple adoption could be looked at but I doubt if the figures call for it. Would not be an ideal solution but this is not an ideal world.

How appropriate that it was you who mentioned the words 'ignorant' and 'ill informed'.

It was puk that used those terms.

Do you think my assumptions are wrong?

I'm referring to this post.

That would be the belief of thousands of people in Ireland alone. Are they all wrong. (or even ignorant and ill informed ).

I do. I also think I would have turned out different if I had a different mother and father.

Elaberate. Do you think for example you would be in to GAA if you had two mothers or two fathers? Or sport at all for that matter?

I can't believe some of the things I'm reading to be honest.

As someone else posted already the main thing a child needs is love,there is no reason to believe in my mind that a Gay couple wouldn't give as much love to a child as a heterosexual couple would.
It's a long and expensive process to adopt a child,there is no way a couple would go through the process if they didn't have tons of love to give a child.
Plenty of kids grow up with one parent so any child that can have an opportunity to have two parents regardless of what sex they are will reap the benefits of that.

Elaberate. Do you think for example you would be in to GAA if you had two mothers or two fathers? Or sport at all for that matter?

What the actual f**k?

So no Gay people follow GAA or any other sport! Are you for real?

Why not? In fact, my parents have little or no interest in sport. I went to GAA matches with my uncle. I played sport (badly) in school.

Are same-sex adoptions going to put the future of the GAA in jeopardy?

[fitzroyalty]

Wise up, I'm using GAA as (a poor) example.

What I mean is, how can two mothers compensate for the lack of a father? How can you compensate for that? How can a mother do father/son stuff? Play football in the park, first pint etc. She can't. Likewise how can two fathers provide for a mother role? They can't.

The depressing thing is, I think he is for real. He clearly has a gay stereotype in his head. And that stereotype is too busy listening to Gloria Gaynor to even contemplate sport.

No, that's payments to managers and Tyrone.

I have no such stereotype. I am all for gay-rights bar this one matter.
