I never said that was my view. I have already said I do not care. Some people do believe this. By girlish I meant feminine and that is how some people see it.
They believe you need balance and if you do not have a motherly and a fatherly figure it is not going to work. Which makes sense to a degree but I do not think they should stop them from adopting. Since most straight people CAN have kids and usually will have their own children.
I personally would love to adopt if I chose to have kids. I do not believe it would be wise as I do not make enough to afford them. This belief was also presented when they tried to assure that gay couples could not adopt. So if you read up on this you will see.
Which no not all gay men are girly obviously. I never said I believed that either. However gay men have a reputation for being like that. Women have an image of being well butch. However you can also see relationships with one very masculine character and one very feminine one.
So nothing is really that simple but this is the argument. Be it girl x girl or boy x boy. I would think it would be very helpful since these kids are unwanted and these people can not have children from each other. So I think we should encourage this not discourage it.
I have said I believe gay couples should have a right to adopt in another comment as well. So I do not think it really matters. These children have no one. Who are we to say well you seem like good candidates but oops your gay never mind. Like that is productive at all?
Is it normal to be so infuriated and sad over this?
