i think we've had something like this on a previous board. but of course they should be able to have kids. they're humans, human rights damnit. and does having kids also mean should they have kids if they were married to a man or woman before and then they were devorced and became gay or lesbian? cause that would be stupid to keep them from seeing their child/children. people are just stupid, a lot of homophobic people tend to think if the kids are raised by homosexual parents then the kid(s) will become gay. lame.something pretty unrelated... my school suspended two girls for making out. really lame. they said it was because there isn't supposed to be any public desply of affection yet every couple that is not same sex kiss all the time. infact when i walk down the hall i can actually see their tounges go into their mouths! and they also said the girls were "causing a scene" but it's really cause this whole fucking city is full of homophobic car/truck loving 300 dollar sunglass-owning assholes.

i think a good question to ask yourself is "if i was an adoption agent [yeah, ok], would i allow a child into this family?"
remember, you're not just evaluating the parents-to-be, but the enviroment you're putting the child into. however nice and loving the family is, a child of a gay couple could very well be exposed to a lot of violence from his/her peers.i, however, think it's shit that this situation is even a situation. people are people. people have kids. people are also ignorant. and close minded.
so the chances of an adoption agency giving a gay couple a child is slim, but not unheard of. (if i didn't get my view across, yes, i think they should be allowed to have children)

Furthermore, the media creates a presence of gay people as sex craving maniacs. I have included several scenarios I have seen on the TV.Scenario 1:
[gay couple in apartment]
Steve: Hey, let's have pizza tonight, snaggfoo.
Dave: And sex!
Steve: WHY WAIT?
[commence gay action off camera] Scenario 2:
[gay couple in apartment]
Jim: I'm gay.
Bob: Me too!
Jim: Maybe that's why we're in this sitcom together!
Bob: And sex!
Jim: YES.
[commence gay action off camera] I think you get the idea. People are scared of these sex-craved homosexu-bots. They will corrupt our youth and limp our wrists! DOWN WITH THE GAYBOTS!
Fuck. I knew I had a point somewhere.

william: i have no idea, i didn't see them. but probably not, i bet they looked just like most girls at my school. about 5'7" with their shoes, probably 3'2" without, 61 lbs, too much make up, a rag with glitter as their clothing. sounds about right.i don't think adoption agents should really assume the kids will get beat up at school or wherever. just cause the parents are gay doesn't really mean everyone will know. the kid might never ever let their friends over to their house because they're paranoid of what their friends will think. you never know.

I agree with most of you, homosexual men should be able to adopt kids and raise them. NOT have them (like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie Junior!). Freedom in this country is doing what you want with facing the consequences. From what I've experienced, the kid and parents wouldn't be accepted (at my school anyway), but that is what the parents need to think about. Maybe it's time to move to Greenwich Village? In all seriousness, gays should have the right!Greg

Yes, gay people should definetly be allowed to adopt kids if they so choose. What I have a problem with is when gay people (especially males) go get a surrogate mother to have their baby or something. It's not really their baby! It's the child of only one person in the relationship. The idea of females having a biological child doesn't seem as bad to me, maybe because (most of the time) they actually carry the baby around for 9 months. I dunno...the whole process of homosexuals having biological kids just seems so artificial. Like they are trying to hard to emulate a hetrosexual relationship.
