Yes, homosexuals can't reproduce. Obviously.
I guess I'm missing a point then.
Would the inability to reproduce create an obstacle in "getting" children? With SS or OS?
Yes. And?
Choosing to practice homosexuality creates an obstacle in "getting" children, right?
As outlined previously, if practicing homosexuality makes them happy, good for them. But, along with that, is the inability to reproduce. Deciding "I'd like a little baby" doesn't change that.
That's true. They can choose to adopt like heterosexual infertile couples. Or couples who simply just want to adopt a child.
They sure can. But, like any other aspect of the adoption process, I think homosexuality should be a factor. Because, as someone noted, it's about getting children into a better situation not making the adults "happy". And, as I noted, having two dads is different and makes a child stand out. Not sure that's the best thing for the child.
You know what else might make a kid stand out? Black parents. Or interracial parents. Or short parents. Or tall parents. Or ugly parents. Or fat parents. Or old parents. Or parents with ****** Long Island accents.
But we don't set public policy based on what a group of 6 year olds may or may not find ridicule worthy because they're ******* 6.
In the long run, putting a kid in a good home is well worth the rather large possibility that they will be made fun of for something. Assuming they weren't already being made fun of in foster care.
