I can't. Marriage is a contract between private parties; anyone who can sign a contract should not be kept from marrying anyone else who can sign a contract. Presumably, adoption agencies can choose to not deal with clients for any reason (or no reason at all), so I can't justify forcing them to do business with any specific class, but I don't understand a refusal to place with a gay couple any more than a refusal to place with a couple of a different race. Well, the argument I hear is that kids are better off with having a mom and a dad, because that's the "natural" way. I personally think it's BS and afaik, what research there is points to the contrary but I can understand that some people might think like that and thus want no adoption rights for gays to "protect the children". There's no link between sexual orientation of parents and how kids turn out. [/hide] I didn't say there was, but a lot of people still think that way, and it's one of the few parts concering gay rights where I can at least understand where they're coming from, that's all I'm saying. I really hate that argument. I think it's safe to say the majority of gay babies come from straight parents and yet certain parties forget that. On an unrelated note, made a goal to read 100 books this year because I spend far too much time rotting my brain with other devices. Just finished the 7th and I'm right on track, if not a little ahead :)
