But not everyone holds that view, this is a thread about children being bullied because they're gay, these children won't realise they're gay till secondary school. Imagine what would happen if it got round the primary school playgrounds that someone's parents were gay. I would be for gay couples being allowed to adopt when society thinks it's more socially acceptable which won't fully happen for another couple of generations imo. We shouldn't put children through the bullying etc (not just by school kids but many adults are still homophobic) in order to increase a gay couple's rights.
I think this is the wrong way round. People will stop being bigotted and homophobic only when homosexuals are given the same rights as everyone else. People need to grow up seeing that it is normal and that homosexuals are treated in the same way as everyone else.
At the moment there is a shortage of parents who are willing to adopt children. Surely you cannot be arging that being brought up by a homosexual couple is worse than being brought up without any parents at all?
