The most important thing for a child is to have loving parents. The gender of a couple has nothing to doing to do with how qualified or loving the couple is.

 @9GMKWZYfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

The priority should be that the child has a safe and loving family that they can call home. The gender or sexual orientation should not matter.

 @9FNK39Gfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I feel as if every couple who is fit to raise a child should be allowed to adopt a child no matter their sex or orientation, everyone deserves a chance to have a family.

 @9FHJGQQfrom British Columbia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

there should not be any priorities and straight and homosexual couples should deserve the same treatment. it is discrimination if they do not.

 @9GGR656Greenfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

adoption agencies should not prioritize offering children to straight couples because in the end gay and straight couples are human and can raise a child with love even with 2 mothers or fathers.

 @9GJSFQFLiberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Children born to biological parents dont have the right to choose thier parents why should government have the right to choose

 @9HQ4L5Vfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

A parents sexual orientation does not equal a safe loving environment. Let the agencies use their methodology to determine a couples suitability for adoption.

 @9HQ3XNZConservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

there are still lots of children that need homes so they should be allowed to adopt, becuase as long as the parents will treat the kid right then they should be able to adopt

 @9GPJVB9from British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

That's discriminatory and a human rights violation. Wellbeing of the adopted child should be a priority, and that does not have a correlation with sexuality of parents.

 @9FPYNYLfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

There is no reason as to why straight couples should br prioritize more then lgbt+ couples other then bigotry and discrimination. LGBT couples that are looking to adopt hold the sane amount of love and care for children as the straight couples looking to adopt. Neither straight or LGBT couples should be prioritized over the other.

 @9FP5CW5Liberalfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

A couple is a couple, and the gender of the parents doesn't determine their ability to be a good parent.

 @9FNK3YQfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Everyone should be equal, someone who's straight could be worse parents then someone of the LGBT community

 @9FMT2NHfrom British Columbia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

it is important that kids have a safe and financilly stable home, sexuality doesnt have anything to do with providing a safe and comforting space for kids.

 @9FM2CHMfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I don't think it's valid. Adoption agencies shouldn't be prioritizing based on sexual orientation, they should be prioritizing based on a quantitative analysis of fitness.

 @9FLZLRDLiberalfrom Alberta  disagreed…2yrs2Y

both sets of parents can be reliable role models for thier child/children. So long as they are not abusive verbally , emotionally, or physically.

 @9FLSKN9New Democraticfrom Ontario  disagreed…2yrs2Y

No couple should be prioritized over another just based on sexual orientation. A same sex couple can provide just as much money, opportunities, love, knowledge, and care that a straight couple would.

 @9FJSV7Dfrom Alberta  disagreed…2yrs2Y

There is no real reason to say that straight parents are more fit to raise a child than gay parents, other than your own prejudice against the LGBTQ+ community. You could say that a child deserves a mother AND father figure, but that is not true. Many children are raised by only 1 parent of 1 gender and feel only the pain of knowing their second parent wasn’t around for them, not that they don’t have a male or female role model. Is it so ludicrous to think that either gender is capable of teaching and leading their children well? Every child deserves loving parents whether it’s 1 or 2, gay or straight, a fit parent is a fit parent no matter who their partner happens to be.

 @9FL5XNNfrom Saskatchewan  disagreed…2yrs2Y

People should be able to have kids not based off of their sexuality but based off of if they are fit to raise a kid or not. If you are going to let someone adopt a kid you aren't going to let them just because they are straight.

 @9FL3CCDfrom Alberta  disagreed…2yrs2Y

My best counter argument is, that equity is very important, just because a couple resides on the LGBT spectrum of sexuality, doesn't mean they are less deserving to be parents of a child.

 @9FDM4VC from Washington  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Bro, adoption is adoption, let the kid get to know all couples seeking to adopt and let them decide, all kids deserve the right to parents that love them.

 @9F8V8J5from Alberta  disagreed…2yrs2Y

both gay and straight couples have the capacity to foster a loving home life for a child, therefore they should not be looked at separately in the eyes of adoption.

 @9GNR8WNLiberal from British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

Every child needs a home, and as long as the child is loved and cared for, does it matter that they aren't a traditional family?

 @9GHQ345 from Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

What's the different between a gay couple and a straight couple? Both couples can take care of a child if they're given the proper tools.

 @9GM2H24from British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

Almost all kids put up for adoption where unwanted by straight people to begin with. Straight couples are more likely to abuse/neglect children.

 @9GL4QVZfrom Alberta  disagreed…1yr1Y

Well, if we allow any couple (including same-sex) to just look for a kid at an adoption agency to adopt then they can do that.

 @9GGQ8QDfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

I’m disagree whit that but everyone have to have the same opportunity for the adoption (no prioritize)
