When people do this they think things like the world is flat and the sun rotates round the earth. Most people are stupid and cannot be trusted, you have to have a team of people useing science to show facts, otherwise you end up with people saying "this is normal because its normal", which is a tad dumb.
Why is the only reason someone wanting to adopt because they want to continue their legacy?!
Gays are useful in society to look after the unwanted children we are producing as a society. As such maybe that is why they are being bought into society.
This is the problem when people with a severe lack of education try and think for themselves when they have very little scientific training.
How do parents without down's syndrome give birth to children with down's syndrome? "Surely if we stop all down's syndrome sufferers having babies we will remove the thing that causes it!"
I'm not discriminating against homosexuals, I have a close friend who is homosexual.

I am not Gay, but even I find that last comment slightly offensive.
Are you seriously suggesting that someones sexual orientation decides their usefulness within modern society?
That a homosexual has no more benefit to society other than being a babysitter?
But you are, you may not think that you are discriminating against them, but questioning their ability to relate to children or to be good and productive parents and create a safe family environment for children soley because of their sexual orientation is indeed discriminatory.
It is somewhat sad, if you really cannot see that.
It is a right to attempt to have children, bodily inadequacies notwithstanding
It is a right to apply for adoption and be considered on equal footing.
It is not a right to have children in an absolute sense.
No. I am pointing out one way they could be as aposed to being able to produce offspring naturally. I would have typed "the only reason" if I had meant it like that.
I'd tell them in a polite way, actually this friend agrees with me on this issue.

I'm questioning there ability to raise a child the way a straight couple can, that is not discriminatory it's just that I believe they won't be as good as straight couples.
I have, go back and read.
So you are suggesting that Homosexual tendancies are natures way of creating a class of non-reproductive care givers.
It is the "As such maybe that is why they are being bought into society." comment I am concerned with.
It suggests that homosexuals are only being accepted into society as 'lackies' to so called normal people as opposed to the actual fact that homosexuals are no more different that any other person and contribute as much and in the same ways as any other.

You've said the children may get bullied, that the children may lack a suitable masculine/feminine role model and that it's a bit weird? Is that that an accurate summary of your objections?
He has also failed to present a reason why his opinion and "common sense" trumps a peer reviewed collection of scientific studies showing the opposite...
