Governance would be very straight forward if all parties involved were consenting adults that could make their own decisions, unfortunately things are not that simple, we have to take into consideration the rights of Wild life both plant and animal, unborn as well as young children, and the rights of those who cannot make their own decisions due to medical reasons. all of these factors make drawing the lines of "where do your rights begin and mine end" much more complicated. that is why for me Gay parenting via adobting is a sticky situation.
2 men or 2 women wanting to live together in a relationship on their own accord is of course a civil freedom that all men and women enjoy, but when we introduce a child who cannot choose for himself we have to ask the question " is a child entitled to a mom and a dad or are 2 loving parents regardless of gender sufficient"
to avoid the myriads of heated feelings about that question we'll step back and ask the question " who is in charge of a born child" which is of course the parents, now if the parents consent to letting 2 men or 2 women raise their child then they have that decision to make, and right or wrong they will make it but giving that choice and power to the parents of the child is important in my view.
where that choice to be taken away from them how many more single parents would try to raise a child they couldn't support just because they didn't want their child to be raised by homosexual parents , now that is not saying they are right or wrong for their belief, but giving them the power to choose will increase adoption as an option and hopefully lower the amount of unwanted pregnancies ending in the form of abortion. because like I said, were all parties in an abortion consenting adults then there wouldn't be a problem but we must protect the rights of all minors, including unborn children, in my view. respectfully
my thoughts on this, feel free to share yours.
I notice you're big on personal rights, but you disagree with abortion. Does the mother not have a right to refuse to support a parasitic entity living in her body?

children raised by homosexual parents are just as well adjusted as ones raised by two heterosexual parents, and on average alot more well adjusted than ones raised in foster care.

Kids never have any choice who their parents are. I think the standards should be the same as any other couple wanting to adopt: Financially stable and emotionally able to take care of a child. Obviously there are more. Heck, if someone weren't married but fit these standards he or she should be able to adopt.
