Denying rights to gay couples is a big deal. I can bring it up at relevant times. You should be happy to defend your position if you feel it is right to deny gay couples the right to adopt.


Depends on the couple. I don't know that having kids is a right. There really isn't an unselfish reason why somebody would have a kid but the second they are born you have to turn into an unselfish person and lots of people struggle with that, I do. It's no longer about me though.

Thinking about it I do know a gay couple with kids from a previous marriage and they are a mess. They'd have been a mess if the mom stayed hetero. Poor kids. I know gay and straight people I wouldn't let raise a fish.

So what would you tell your gay friends if they asked?

Adoptive parents go through an extensive screening process.

At my past position I worked with a guy named Ron for 18 years. Mostly over phone/email etc so rarely seen. I still do business with that company and "he" is still there. Now though he is Veronica. Without having talked to "her" people would ask me about Veronica and I had to keep on asking who? Nothing wrong with it obviously but just odd to get used to.

I disagree that there is nothing wrong with it. These people are sick in the head. Just because it's being pushed as normal doesn't make it so.

I don't hate trannies but I'm not going to pretend that it's normal.

Someone says they're a tranny or I see one and I go in my head "oh, ok, this person is a fucked up weirdo" and I move on with my day.


I honestly don't feel that this is an unfair statement. They have the right to do whatever, but we all have the right to find it odd.


That is not really true right now is it though? For example, I am live and let live as far as sex/gender, marriage and all the rest. I do however think the over the top gay parades are dumb, over the top and really unnecessary if the point is to prove gay people are just like everyone else. That makes me a pariah to many.

No what's really strange is you take the smallest most unimportant opinions people have and act as if their life is based on it and that's the totality of life or them as a person. The gay couples we know or have known are childless. If they had kids I'd show up to the shower and birthday parties happy with gifts. If I saw a family at a park or something I wouldn't treat them any differently than I treat any other family. When asked my opinion, no, I don't know if it's the best thing for everybody, but other than when you bring it up like it's some sticking point I give it zero thought and it has no impact on my or anyone else's life. I don't care much about this.

I know my family has trouble with missing a male figure in the house sometimes. It doesn't make much sense to me to set up families without one, same goes for a mother. I don't think I'd have done well in a house with 2 same sex parents, but who knows? It might just depend on the couple. I would think there are both sides. Some people that grew up in a same sex household would be for it and some would be against it.

If your gay friends asked you if you thought they should be allowed to adopt what would you say?

Denying rights to gay couples is a big deal. I can bring it up at relevant times. You should be happy to defend your position if you feel it is right to deny gay couples the right to adopt.


Late to the game here and I do not speak for Spaulding but is it not ok and possible to believe gay adoption is not right or the best for a child yet still not deny someone their rights? Many people do not believe in gun ownership but do not take action to prevent others from doing so for example. Again, not speaking for her but you make it seem as if she has taken her opinion and made signs and is organizing marches in front of the adoption offices.

Why would you believe being adopted by a gay couple isn't right or what's best for a child?

Fair enough. I just didn't recall say they can't do it just that they shouldn't. As is said in some other subjects she has no power to deny that right.

IDK as I do not have a problem with it. As Rick said the screening is the same. Why does anyone believe anything?

I don't believe she has advocated denying such a "right". I think her position is that a family of two opposite sex parents raising children is the ideal.

I believe she said that before and she certainly hasn't corrected me on that. In fact she just got mad I brought up the fact that she doesn't think gay people should be allowed to adopt rather than saying I was wrong that she thought that.

think about how it started. the poor kid has to be adopted because of a shitty situation to start with. the fact is, whatever the reason, the mother couldn't care for the child. whether or not that's the mother's fault, it's a pretty challenging start to life for the child.

it's going to take a generation or so to see how gay couples fare in raising children, because it's a relatively new opportunity. i think they should be given the same fair shake as a straight couple. both have the chance to be great parents, both have the chance to suck at parenting. it's a crap shoot but they should all be given the opportunity.

Well I was interested to see if maybe someone had a reason other than because it makes me uncomfortable.

I don't think it's a question of the individual abilities of people as parents. There are plenty of straight married couples who are shitty parents.

She's also had plenty of chances to correct me and she has not chosen to do so even going so far as to not answer the question on whether she would tell her gay couple friends that she thinks they should be able to adopt.

So, we'll settle this the easy way. Spaulding can correct me that she does in fact think gay couples should be allowed to adopt using the same standards that straight couples have.

Of course it isn't ideal. Adoption isn't ideal either. Single parent households aren't ideal. Grandparents raising kids isn't ideal. Spaulding even says her situation isn't ideal. It doesn't mean we should ban any of those things.

I did answer your question. A lot of it depends on the couple.

This is the problem. That isn't an answer that satisfies the question as it is too vague.

Do you think that if a gay couple passes the same screening process as a straight couple that they should be allowed to adopt?

Is this the 1940s? Pretty sure any kid would take willing, gay parents over remaining property of the state. I'm sure that, on par, there are less shitty gay parents because they actualy WANT the child and have to go through extreme measures to get them.

Why is it a risk?

Or maybe more importantly, is it any more of a risk than 2 straight parents adopting?

Because you bring up past discussions that aren't pertinent to current discussions and try to weave them together in some game of gotcha that only you are playing.

That problem sounds like your problem not mine.

I understand what both you are saying but I think it's a risk.


Why is it a risk?

Or maybe more importantly, is it any more of a risk than 2 straight parents adopting?


In today's world I don't know. As others have said there are a lot of shitty parents out there. Parenting isn't about what the parent wants and a home should be the best environment for the child.

If you believe there are risks associated with having gay parents, why don't you just say what they are? You've already made it clear that they shouldn't be allowed.

It's not one you want or think you deserve. Don't worry you can bring it up in the future and claim some sort of Rick victory and throw your self a party.

Clearly not mad....

If you don't want to answer that is fine but don't pretend you did answer and also be prepared that I am going to take an educated guess on your answer.

Is this the 1940s? Pretty sure any kid would take willing, gay parents over remaining property of the state. I'm sure that, on par, there are less shitty gay parents because they actualy WANT the child and have to go through extreme measures to get them.


That's it right there. It's not a choice between living with Ozzie and Harriet. Frankly, there's only one real answer- more abortions.

What about parents being gay makes it a risk that they wouldn't make their home the best environment they can for a child?

If it's simply "I'm uncomfortable with the idea of gay parents having kids", then we'll just disagree and move on.
