Children shouldn’t be indoctrinated and they should be able to follow biology instead of mental illness and delusions

 @9F8R49Kfrom Alberta  disagreed…2yrs2Y

mental illness and delusions

Mental Illness is a prominent figure in today's society. Yes, we may not see it first hand ourselves, but we have to listen and find viable solutions to help these people who can't because of what they're facing.

 @B4H8P7Ffrom Alberta  agreed…3 days3D

Sexuality has no impact on a couple’s ability to parent. The focus should be on ensuring more children can find loving, caring families

 @9FH6KQFfrom Alberta  agreed…2yrs2Y

What would happen if you one day just told a straight couple that couldn't naturally have kids that they weren't allowed to adopt. They would be heartbroken. It's the same for gay couples.

 @B2B9LQCfrom Alberta  agreed…3mos3MO

LGBTQ adoptions should be legal because of the fact that at the end of the day they are just people as well wanting a child. what matters is how that child is treated growing up with them.

 @B247BW8from Alberta  agreed…4mos4MO

Home environments with lesbian and gay couples are just as likely to successfully support a childs development as with those of heterosexual parents. Gay parents can understand the positive impact of differences in people, and naturally are going to teach their children to be tolerant and without prejudices.

 @9ZYZXMWfrom Alberta  agreed…4mos4MO

the sexual or romantic goings on of an LGBT couple should not interfere with their parental capability and there is little to no evidence of children unhappy in LGBT homes.

 @9TMKVZ5from Alberta  agreed…7mos7MO

Those in the LGBT community who would like to adopt should have the right as it has no legitimate pros and cons compared to a straight couple. This can have many benefits with destigmatizing LGBT people and having everyone see them the same as everyone else

 @9JVTX4Wfrom Alberta  agreed…1yr1Y

Everyone is human and a person. Gender identification or same sex partners should have a choice and right to raise a family as every human is able too why exclude humans for a personal preference.

 @9HYHSQKNew Democraticfrom Alberta  agreed…1yr1Y

"Some consider LGBT relationships to be more stable relationships than traditional relationships, which means LGBT couples may be able to provide a more emotionally secure home to an adopted child. These couples usually turn to adoption simply because they want a child and their options are a little more limited than those of a traditional couple. LGBT couples actively choose and have to work hard to become parents, which means they can be more motivated and committed." Life Long Adoptions

Kids need a safe, good parent to help them to be able to grow up and be an upstanding citizen, how does the sex of the parents become a factor. parents differ depending on parenting style not gender or sexuality.

 @9FJSV7Dfrom Alberta  agreed…2yrs2Y

When I read articles stating the latter, that children with gay parents are worse off than children with straight parents, it seems rooted in traditional ideology. A mother is a caretaker, they’re nurturing, understanding and comforting, a father is overbearing, disciplining and can protect the child physically. I find this to be a brutish way of thinking. Men can be gentle, loving and caring and women can be tough, strict and strong!…  Read more

What gender someone is attracted to does not affect how good of a parent they are. How a person parents a child is based on their personalities, and how they were raised, it has nothing to do with sexual orientation.

 @9F9MZ88People’sfrom Alberta  agreed…2yrs2Y

They are still people with lives - jobs, housing, relationships, etc. Allowing them to not adopt children would be infringing on their rights (and would probably violate some laws) and if they provide a better life for children compared to other families why wouldn't you send the child to them compared to worse households?

 @B43SXTX from Alberta  agreed…3wks3W

Supporting LGBT adoption rights is not just a matter of equality—it is a solution to a real crisis in the foster care system. In Canada, there are over 30,000 children in the foster system, many of whom age out without ever finding a permanent home. Studies consistently show that children raised by same-sex couples thrive just as well as those raised by heterosexual parents. A 2016 study by Columbia Law School analyzed over 70 research papers on same-sex parenting and found no negative impact on children’s mental health, education, or emotional well-being. The American Psychologic…  Read more
