Florida gay adoption ban "unconstiutional"

With so much hatred and hardship in the world today, how can anyone deny the right to a child to a loving home. Instead of refusing to allow gay couples to adopt we should be thanking them for wanting to care for someone's refusal to care for their own. How many opponents of gay adoptions have these unwanted children in their homes?

As a gay man raising a child in Florida, I think that this is a very exciting shift in the right direction.

Why should it matter what the gender of the parents are. At least it would keep the kid from being an orphan for to long, scenarios like that for kids is a breeding ground for criminals and drug dealers. Why doesn't the government, state and federal, get off homosexual's ass. If 2 men or 2 women want to raise a child, as long as they teach him right from wrong then gender should be totally out of the question.

Soleil go back to the fucking hole where you apparently lived your life. you an ignorant little fucking bitch..

Yes they will be ridiculed but every minority goes through that. Black students were threatened to be shot when the tried to go to school, ridicule is a much easier way. Plus if assholes like you were rounded and up and thrown into afghanistan, then America will be a hell of alot more tolerant that it is..

This child will not have to parents. A man cannot be a woman and vice versa. It does not matter how much you want to spin this and distort the facts. This is inhuman, against nature and socity will have to pay the price later. It is totally dysfunctional. Using the fact that some chidren are in foster homes is a cheap way to justify this retarded concept. These kids will have to face the ridicul of society and will be emotionally handicaped like in any dysfunctional situation. After a lot of suffering common sense will prevail

OK SOLEIL10,
I would love to know what rock you are living under! You response is so far off base it makes me laugh to think that someone actually believes what you believe. Let just say for example " A man can not be a woman and visa versa", I thought for the past oh about 100 years women have been pushing for equal rights ( I do support ). I would just love to hear what apart from giving birth, what a women can do that a man can't ?
Against our society you say - Well what about the WAR in IRAQ and the MILLIONS of innocent people who were just living there lives, and have been killed because of OUR GOVERNMENT... Is this acceptable in our society?
I could go on and on about how your response doesn't hold water. The bottom line is Children need love in there life and people need children in there lives, It doesn't have anything to do with your sex or your sexual preference is.
I think if you look at all families equally (Male/Female,Female Only, Male Only,Female/Female, Male/Male, Gay Male Only, Lesbian /Female Only) you will more then likely find that kids may just be a bit well rounded when being raised by individuals who have been pigeon holed there entire lives and this adversity will give them tools to better parenting then others will have. Our society is built on diversity and openness . I would suggest that if you feel the way you do, maybe you could climb back under your rock and enjoy yourself. But don't get caught playing with yourself, others will talk!

Score!

Can't have a baby naturally...

It's funny how people can't take pictures of their kids in a park, but then no one wants to protect these kids from gay couples. I don't hate people, I hate sin. You know what every gay person I've known does? Sleeps around, takes drugs, and surrounds themselves with social drama. That's not even mentioning the sexual abuse that takes place when gay couples adopt. (not every time but enough of the time)

burn down Soddom. I'm sick of living in this Babylon.

people have a right to choose. these kids do not.

I applaud this ruling. Whether someone is straight or gay, both will be able to provide a safe and healthy environment for the child to grow up in. And for anyone who says that the child will not have a mother, that is a shotgunistic view brought by Freud that women should stay home and take car of their children. He did a research of an orphaned monkey. WHen paired with a male monkey or a female monkey, it was shown that the female monkey would accept it while the male would reject. What he didn't do was that if he kept the situation ongoing, he would have noticed that the male monkey began to slowly bond with the orphaned monkey.

Not only that, but if that is the argument against same-sex homes, then what about single-parent homes? I have yet to see a study that says same-sex homes are bad.

Florida? A Red State? Holy crap.

Just the fact that this is a discussion is progress. People will fight, and cry and moan about it, but in time, it will pass. Some of us in a society will always resist what we do not understand, mostly because of fear and ignorance. Every group has been persecuted by another at one point or another. The importance is to keep fighting for what we believe in, while remaining as civil as we can. Oh, and stay out of other peoples bedrooms.

The fight that the LGBT community must go through to even get to the point of two individuals even contemplating taking in a child that has been shut out of a so called normal life. To be told that "Because you Love the way you Love" you are to be excluded from giving love and protection to a child has to be one of the most unrealistic train of thoughts in the world. These thoughts tend to come from the same individuals who tend to be of the elitist set and who think that because of the power they wield they can button hole the rest of society.

How long will it take for people to realize that this world we are living in has become to silent. We let the voice of a few speak for the rest. We don't all have voices to sit by and let a few design or lives. STAND UP AND SHOUT!

anyone willing to give kids a loving and caring home should have the right to do so, no matter what gender, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.

plus come on .. look at how bad the adoption system.. we need babies off the centres.. not IN them..

we .. we though black people were weird and crazy and enslaved them...

kinda the same thing with Natives...

and now the gays?

Grow Up america.

This is rediculous. It should not be an issue for a gay couple to adopt. A gay couple could do as good a job as any couple when rasing a child. Hopefully, one day people will focus on more important issues and just let gay/lesbian couple live like everyone else. This should be as big an issue as it is.

That's just another reason for me not to vote McCain.

There are so many children that need a home, so anyone willing to take care of and love one should be allowed. Even if you believe homosexuality is wrong, any sort of stable, permanent home is better for child than an orphanage -- plus it saves the state money. A real win-win situation

This child will never have a mother.

What a pity ?

There are so many children in foster care that need loving and caring homes. It's sad that there is the opportunity to give them that and hate ruins that chance.

Catalyst84: I agree with you 10000000%. Is it right that children have no home and no love just because some people can not get over themselves. If they will love a child and provide a loving and stable home it should not matter what they are. Black, White, Gay, Straight. Can we stop the hate??????

Same sex adoption and same sex marriage have always been a big issue among American people. In my opinion if a couple, gay or straight, can provide a loving and nurturing environment, than there should be no problem in the adoption.
If a child can thrive in it's environment and become a smart, hardworking part of society, then let the family, gay or straight be the ones to teach this.
People have the right to their way of living and people need to stop butting in.
