Re: Gay Adoption
I think that X2 has a good point here, plus we should keep the conversation more secular so people from all faiths (if there are indeed non-Muslims on this website) can participate ..so lets not get religious on this thing ...shall we.
here is my simple take ..
Homosexuality is a mental/social disorder.
A child suffers in orphanage so much so that many o times, he/she gets subjected to homosexual/heterosexual assaults in orphanage by caretakers, by senior orphans or others. In Pakistan, yateem kahanas have history of turning into boy prostitution brothels. I can guarantee you that situation may not be too different even in the Western world.
If we compare 1 with 2 .. I think that a boy is safe in a gay home than in a male brothel ..at least his parents are not going to rape him ...
but 2 wrongs cannot make a right. So it is up to govt to decide whether gay couples can adopt a kid or not. If not then govt should work on foster parents system .. where a kid gets raised in a straight couple home with govt funding.
My 2 cents
