@Ryudo: Um, callin me a bigot isn't true. I'm basing my views on my intimate knowledge of my surroundings, the area I live in, the people I know, the way I've grown up. I can safely say that no 12 year old can raise a child, yet it was socially acceptable in the past.
Yes, history repeats itself, but what you're doing is saying that my negative views on something is just that. The same as how black people were persecuted, how women were looked down on, and how Jews were a scapegoat for practically anything.
What you failed to notice was that I said that I wasn't disputing whether or not gays can make good parents. That's not what the debate's about, it's about the fact that it's unfair to condemn a baby to certain bullying. I later retracted that, as I realised that I was bein a bit too hasty in what I said, as I can't possibly speak for all corner of the globe, but I can definitely speak for over here, and over here it needs a little more thought than the regular adoption procedure.
@Lamewad: Too many variables? It's simple, if they go to a normal school, they're gettin bullied. It's an assumption, but it's a correct assumption. It's like sayin that kids will bicker on derby day. There's obviously a chance that no kids at the school support City or united, they might be made up of Stockport, Oldham or Droylsden fans, but the chances are stupidly slim, and I wouldn't even entertain the idea. So yes, I can safely assume that every kid who's been adopted by a gay couple (within the next decade or two, over in the UK, who go to a normal school) will get bullied. I know that, because I've been grouped up into practically any relevant category you can think of. I've seen all sides, been on all sides, and know my people VERY well.
@Segata: It's not bad in the sense that your life's at risk, but the bad apples are rotten to the core. There's been killings down the road from me recently and there's a huge manhunt for this guy with one eye. He did it coz the family of the guys he killed beat the shit out of his mam who has cancer. Kids are lookin for any excuse to boot off or riot, middle class motherfuckers are overly wary of anyone who doesn't dress like an absolute pleb, and nobody wants to work. But, despite all the hatred, we all get on like a house on fire. From the outside lookin in, you should defo consider it a strange place to live.
