Gay Adoption of Children

I would also like to point out that I am in no way homophobic, although my comments may seem like I am. Same sex marriageMost people oppose same sex marriage because the family structure created by this kind of relationship, is always depriving a child of either a mother or a father. A Dictionary even highlights the inability of a same sex couple to provide both genders in a normal parental structure. A social science study that took over 30 years, executed by the source I am using (linked at the end of this argument), showed that children do best with a married mother and father. I wish to point out this quote from the main source of this arguments information Dr. David Popenoe says, “We should disavow the notion that ‘mommies can make good daddies,’ just as we should disavow the popular notion of radical feminists that ‘daddies can make good mommies. ’ …The two sexes are different to the core, and each is necessary – culturally and biologically – for the optimal development of a human being. ” What he is saying is that despite people saying that a mum can be a great dad, like a dad can be a great mum, they in reality cannot. Culturally a man teaches things that a mother cannot and likely will not, for example DIY, and biologically a man in a relationship will always make their children more secure in their relationships, simply by teaching them that a bi-gender marriage is normal and when it is right, will last for a long time, teaches them to avoid divorcements, and stops them getting involved with prostitution and the like. This is achieved simply by a man being with their child and setting a responsible example. Culturally a woman teaches things that a father cannot and likely will not, for example compassion for unfortunate circumstances e. g death, and biologically a woman will teach a child about the correct ways around sex and presentation of themselves. What I mean to illustrate here, is that a man cannot teach the same things a woman can, nor a woman teaching a man's lessons. Think of it like this: Imagine there is a maths class and an english class. The maths class is taught by a maths teacher and does very well, likewise does the english class being taught by an english teacher. But next lesson they swap and the maths teacher teaches an english class and an english teacher teaches the maths class. It will not work, because the reason why there are two teachers for their respective subject is because they can teach that subject better than another could. My source also says this Fathers tend to encourage children to take chances and push limits, and mothers tend to be protective and more cautious, and each approach is essential for a child’s healthy development. When either parenting style is extreme it can have an unhealthy effect on children, but together the different approaches of a mother and father are balanced to nurture the child, expand his experiences and give him confidence. This means that a balance is essential for a child to become a successful and a responsible adult. I think I have prooven my point that balance is essential to produce a good member of society, but the question is can a gay parent match this? No. Simply put, the child will just not get the balance of the two. I think my source says it all, here it is:. http://www.citizenlink.com...Thank you all for your time reading this, and I now hand over to my worthy opponent! Any questions?
