The people who say that gays shouldn't adopt because a child needs a man and a women to be raised properly should take a look at the popular tv show, Full House, amirite?

Scripted TV shows are a reliable source, amirite?

That's one of the worst arguments I have ever heard

And then look at the Olson twins today...

If that is the reason they don't let gays adopt kids then singles and divorcees shouldn't be able to either

Why does this argument get used so much forgetting the amount of kids with single parents?

Though I can't use myself as an example as I'm quite insane.

Kids born to mothers out of wedlock tend to be worse off than those born to a married couple. If you control for single parenthood, the crime differences between blacks and whites basically disappears....

Well the fact that a husband and wife can earn more money and therefore spend more time with the child is obviously a factor. But I don't think a single mom can usually earn enough money while spending a good amount of time with their children....

My mom has been raising me alone for the past 3 years, makes about $14,000 a year, and she spends so much time with me, it's actually quite annoying. I'm not saying you're wrong though, I agree with you, I was just saying.

@pantherfanatic Well that would be impressive. Do you have any other siblings or people living with you?

I'm an only child. And there's my aunt, but she doesn't help out except for $300 a month for rent. And she just moved in about a year ago. Everything has been pretty much the same before she moved in.

Wow. Well living on 14,000 is pretty impressive. I'll hand it to your mom.

But like you said, that's not typically the case.

@1559477

You sound intelligent. It pleases me.

@eldorito Is that taking into account prostitutes, the responsibilty level of the parents, etc.?

I doubt if prostitutes make up a large number of illegitimate births. Haha.

And I would imagine women who have children out of wedlock tend to have less responsibility then those who get married. But that would be a fair factor to count.

...This was suppose to be a joke.

Bottom right hand corner of your post, there should be a little thing that pops up. Click on that and then type "Jokes" and hit enter.

I've literally never heard anyone use that argument.

Yeah, I gotta say, this is pretty stupid, even if was a joke.
People who say that gays shouldn't adopt shouldn't look at TV shows, or that fact that Jesus has two dads, or the Lion King or whatever - they should look at statistics that indicate that children raised by same-sex parents are just as happy, just as emotionally healthy, perform just as well at school, etc., as those raised by opposte-sex parents.

The argument sucks, but gay people are just as capable, if not more capable, than single parents. Jus' sayin'

I like that argument. It takes an "I can do it" approach rather than an "I can't help it."

If conservatives can use TV to say it can turn children transgendered/gay and that it's harmful to their growth, liberals should be able to use TV to prove them wrong.

They did have Becky on that show.

No way, because the argument sucks.

I haven't heard about Full House since over 10 years ago. Times have changed.
