Do you agree or disagree with those 'academic findings'? Only it would be quite a novel approach to post 'academic findings' that opposed your own view. And those so-called academic findings clearly say that 'gays should have the right to adopt'.
A simple yes or no answer will do - do you believe gays should have the right to adopt?
Yes, the child's welfare is paramount, so why would you want to disadvantage it from day one, by removing the all-important female presence in it's upbringing, and giving it the burden of being subject to unnecessary bullying? Advocating gay adoption is pure selfishness, based on the parent's rights, and not the child's welfare.
Unless equally rigorous research comes to light which counters these findings I'm bound to accept them unless I believe for good reason that the outcomes have been falsified. Trapper John's 'bloke up the pub' research is not in my view of equal academic rigor.
I don't believe that anyone has the right to adopt. I do believe as stated that:
"The only pertinent issue here is whether parents, be they adoptive or natural, can provide better care than the child could expect to receive in an orphanage, hospital or other institution. The position of each child must be assessed on a case by case basis with regard to the resources available at the time.
Since the child's welfare is paramount, if this care can be provided by homosexuals, Muslims, people who enjoy cosplay or even apologists for EDL offenders then only objections which are not coloured by homophobia, racism, prudishness or political correctness can be seriously entertained."
I do not believe children are disadvantaged by providing them with loving carers in the community over care in institutions even though I personally would prefer them not be placed with racists or homophobes.
Why is that then?
