it's about the child having both a mother and a father figure.

They may not have conceived you, but that doesn't mean they're going to be any better or worse at parenting.Even if they're improving the life on a child who already exists in a worse position?

Quote from: Callous on July 04, 2016, 04:32:50 PMAny child who was ever born or ever will be born will suffer immensely. The parents cannot guarantee bliss on earth, so therefore they do intend to inflict pain on their child, albeit, inadvertently. eh"Intend" and "inadvertently" cannot be used together. They directly contradict each other.I would just argue that it literally does not matter what the parents intent was. It doesn't reprieve you.

There's no such thing as perfect so what you're trying to argue is pretty pointless.It's one thing to be against conception, but it's another trying to argue for perfection. Anyone who strives for perfection (rather than self improvement) is delusional and will never be happy.
Relatively few studies have directly examined gay fathers, but those that exist find that gay men are similarly fit and able parents, as compared to heterosexual men. Available empirical data do not provide a basis for assuming gay men are unsuited for parenthood. If gay parents were inherently unfit, even small studies with convenience samples would readily detect it. This has not been the case. Being raised by a single father does not appear to inherently disadvantage children's psychological wellbeing more than being raised by a single mother. Homosexuality does not constitute a pathology or deficit, and there is no theoretical reason to expect gay fathers to cause harm to their children. Thus, although more research is needed, available data place the burden of empirical proof on those who argue that having a gay father is harmful.
no one's bad just because they're not perfect

Labeling honest to god caring and loving parents that try to do everything they can possible for a child as "bad" does leave me hung up, yeah.
It's mistakes like this--and I'm just ONE example--that separate the good parents from the bad parents. Good parents don't exist because the mistakes that parents make, no matter how small, can lead to catastrophic results. Even if your child ended up happy and successful in adulthood, that doesn't make you a good parent. It makes you lucky.

It's fucked up and the state essentially works against clearing people out of it. I'll tell ya son, after seven years of trying to adopt domestically instead of just fostering differen kids every year, a lot of couples get fucking fed up and just pull a baby from China in two weeks. If a gay couple can help a kid get out of that, then let's give more fags some more kids. We're not taking an advantage away from anyone by doing that. We're giving them an advantage over what they had before.
