I don't think gay couples should be allowed children.
In an ideal world, i think they should be allowed to. However, kids can be cruel. Imagine the pyscological abuse the kids would get with 2 gay dads. I've no problem with it, apart from the fact that it would probably be damaging to the kids. If people didn't hold such prejudice, they should be allowed kids. But that ain't the case, is it?
By the way, has anybody else noticed the paradox of gay couples. I mean, two guys living together, you think it would be a dude's paradise, and yet it's not.

Homosexuality is natural...look at every civilisation since Classical Greece. I agree with Cubist about the parenting thing.

Are you trying to say that a child is more likely to see their parents having sex if the parents are gay? There is just as much chance that they would stumble in on their parents having sex if they were straight and it's not as if just because they are gay they are going have sex in front of their kids. They are still responsible adults you wierdo.
I feel the same about gay couples raising children. Raising children of your own must be a tremendous feeling, to have a baby with the one you love can't really compare to any other life experience and just because someone is gay doesn't mean they don't want this experience and shouldn't be entitled to it. Also considering being gay doesn't determine your parenting skills I see no reason why they wouldn't be BRILLIANT parents. There are millions of straight couples out there with more kids than they can handle, living on benefits and basically being crappy parents, in crappy houses with crappy jobs. Many gay couples though could provide a brilliant growing environment for a child like other straight couples so they should be allowed the opportunity to raise their kids too.
After all, people do things with their hands - surely that's not much different.
As for being parents, I can't see why they couldn't provide stable families like hetrosexual parents can. After all, there seem to be more single parents nowadays than parents that have stuck together for life.
It used to be that kids got picked on if their parents split. Now it's the other way.
As long as they would talk things through with their kids when they come of an understanding age and still give them the choice and to support them no matter what, I can't see it being a problem.
