Homosexual couples should be able to adopt children.

Ok, real quick before i start i would like to clarify one thing to every gay or gay rights activists im about to sound like a big jerk but its a debate rememer that so i will now start.... 1The physcological effects of having homosexual parents has negative effects on the children adopted by them. For an example males that have lesbian mothers are more likely to have an effect to make them be lesss masculine and the reverse for female kids. 2 Despite this increase in gay and lesbian parenting, social workers may have reservations when considering gay adoptive parents for a child. They might wonder how the children will be raised and how they will feel about themselves and their parents. Will they be embarrassed because they have two mothers or two fathers, or because their single mother dates women or their unmarried father has a boyfriend? Will their friends tease them? Will they be more likely to be homosexual than will children raised by heterosexual parents? And most important, how will having been raised by gay or lesbian parents affect them as they grow into adulthood? These socitial set backs are the problems gays in todays socity are looked down upon, These kids would most likely to be ridiculed and made fun of in todays socity. This in today socity the kids might as well be gay , they will be treated the same. This will most likely lead to depression, and possibly sucide . 3 Of all sucide 30% is of gays and if kids parented by gays are treated like gays then they possibly count for this 30 percent. I will now attack my opponets case... 1- Good Alternative to provide children a loving home. Society is changing, and the traditional idea of the nuclear family with married mother and father is no longer the only acceptable alternative. The reason that many countries are beginning to award legal rights to gay couples is because the stability of such relationships is now recognised. There is no reason, therefore, why such couples cannot provide a stable and loving upbringing for children. As i have stated how it negatively effect the children making it not a good alternative and making it not a good choice. 2- Accepting gays. Some babies are born with a predisposition to homosexuality (both human and in other races), and their upbringing will not be affect their sexuality. Attempting to suppress this genetic predisposition has resulted in great misery for many people. Rather, we should accept this and look to embrace all gay people fully or we stay in this denial situation where having a different sexual orientation means not the right to adopt a child. My opponet does not address the genetic predispostion and does not nor gives any facts to suppport his claim so it falls, but just for clarification that he does no state how or why this genetic perdisposition does what he says it does. 3- It will help to reach the end Homophobia. The homophobia in some sections of society is wrong, and must be fought however possible. Couples from ethnic minorities are not barred from adoption even in racist areas. Only through the full inclusion of gays in society and all its institutions can we hope to overcome prejudice against Gays. my opponent again doesn't really clarify how this stops homophobia, he pretty much states tha its wrong and minorities shouldn't be barred from adoption. Well the fact of this is this will not decrease homophobia, as long as we have stright people there will always be this looming homophobia. Not to mention as long as Christainity,Islam,Judism, and Catholics exist. So really the only way homophobia will ever be gone is if everyone turned gay and didnt believe in the religions i stated. 4- Reduce the number of Children in Foster homes. There are 423,773 children in the U.S. foster care system; 114,556 of these children are available for adoption. Their birth parent's legal rights have been permanently terminated and children are left without a family.[1] Those children could easily live with a happy family if we let Homosexual couples be able to adopt them , instead of living in a foster system where they have no family whatsoever. HG Legal Directories reports that as many as 75 percent of all children in foster care upon leaving the system, will have experianced sexual abuse. Living in a happy home with a family or living with no family whatsoever and possibly fall into that 75% that gets sexually abused, which you do you think sounds more moral? OMG statistics yay lol sorry anyway.... That 75% might out weigh the homosexual path but either or is not a better choice , the kids adopted by homosexuals will be treated like homosexuals and made fun of in this socity. Homosexuality may never become accepted in this socity and so far my opponent hasnt addressed how it ever will. 5- It is immoral not to let Homosexual couples not be able to adopt a child. What has the gay community done wrong to not be able to adopt a child? The matter of fact is that the government would be denying the right to a percentage of people because of there sexual orientation. The movie "The Great Debaters" show how back then even the Black community could not attent state universities. They beleived because of prejudice that they shouldn't attent a State university, way back even interracial couples couldn't marry because of prejudice and people were afraid of making prejudice even bigger. How can we progress and take prejudice against gays away if we don't even allow them to adopt a child as heterosexual couples do? I take a moment to ask the audience is denying the right to adopt a child to a certain group of people because of there certain sexual orientation moral? Is it right to deny them to love an adoptive child and take care of it because of there sexual preference? No, the moment to stop prejudice the moment to give equal rights is always, always right now. And voting Pro leads a step in that direction. Ok for one i think you mean to say unconstitutional not immoral because morals vary christains would say its immoral to be gay, there moral beliefs say so. So let me ask you does the constitution gie gays right does it say any where n the bill of rights freedom of sexuality no there for it does not apply, the U.S was based upon christainity so that would be a good reason its not in there.
