What's people's thoughts on gay couples being allowed to adopt kids? I couldn't think of anything worse than being brought up by two raging camp gimps who are using me as a fashion accessory.
There's straight parents who're worse than as described above. I've no problem with it. Plenty of children need a home. If they're going to offer them one... Good luck to them.
Aye that's what I think too. Just because they're gay doesn't mean they can't be as good parents as anyone else. If I happened to be gay I think I'd be really frustrated at people thinking that I'd be dressing an adopted boy in tutus and the like. There's too much of a big deal made out of what hole people like to put their dick in. I agree that being raised by two enormously camp blokes would be a little odd but so would being brought up in a wide variety of different dysfunctional straight families.
Of course mate, but looking and comparing it to something worse doesn't make it not controversial. If I was raised by two very camp blokes, I'd hazard a guess that my childhood would have been a complete misery through things like bullying at school, just because kids who have a mum and a dad get bullied at school as well, it doesn't mean that's ok. What I'm getting at is, regardless of the parent's ability to raise the child properly, unless you're a close-minded hippy socialist who thinks everything is beautiful in this world, then that kid may have a severe disadvantage in life, socially.
Or worse still confusing a child as it is develops so it becomes the next generation. Why haven't I got a Mummy/Daddy would be no question a kid has to ask.
I'm not sure I'm completely against it but I'm damn sure I'm against Nancy boys who think starving themselves and wearing lipstick is more important than having a brain cell, being given a child to adopt. I'm sure there are far worse Hetero parents, junkies and paedo's but that doesn't mean society should add to the problem.
I can't imagine gay men who are all about being fabulous and nothing else either wanting to adopt a child or being allowed one if they're that daft. It's not like you can just click your fingers and adopt a kid like buying a handbag.
I was unfortunate enough to be suffering an episode of one of the reality shows my Mrs watches and one of the sissies on there was going through the formalities of adoption. Can't recall what it was but it made me shudder. That's why I asked, I'm not claiming it to be some sort of epidemic.
joking aside being homosexual in the R N when I was in was a criminal offence ,you were put in jail then hoyed out
True story. An RAF colleague who was on a 12 year hitch met a girl and got an ultimatum, more time with me or bugger off, he went to the medical officer and confessed he was worried as he liked seeing the other people getting undressed. MO sent him to the Padre for counselling (don't like that word but it fits), kid stuck to his story and since nobody can argue with a medical or pastoral opinion he was allowed to leave rather than pay a huge amount to buy himself out. Did hear later that the bird binned him later but he could not re-enlist in any of the Services so he went to Aus.
Don't get me wrong... I wouldn't want it for myself. But as I say... I'd choose that over a lot of others who have kids.
I had an openly gay coworker in Reagan's Navy. Someone complained. He was questioned. He didn't deny it. He was discharged. After that the common sentiment was, "I should tell them I'm gay too." - But no one actually did... btw, I initially misinterpreted "hoyed out"
