Can you explain why gay single parents are considered unsuitable and straight single parents are considered suitable, especially considering your impetus for gays not adopting has typically involved a "mother and a father" argument, which straight single parents obviously cannot provide just based on the numerics of the situation...

And once again garysher asks a blatantly stupid question regarding a speculated opinion that I never even hinted at.
No. I am not saying that.

What does this line of pretense get you? You ask a stupid question about whether or not I have a position that nobody in their right mind would think I have, and then I say "No".

It just makes no sense. All you do is reiterate your poor reading comprehension skills over and over and over again to your own detriment.

But I do have an interest in the welfare of the orphans.
There is NO evidence showing ANY detriment to the children being raised in gay house-holds. Absolutely none.

This has nothing to do with "scoring points". Those who are capable and willing to sacrifice time and money and provide an orphan with a loving home should be able to if there is no real reason for preventing them.

We let straight single parents adopt, so that knocks out the vast majority of "adoption" arguments against gay adoption. The only thing left is the "morality" argument which you alluded to in one post.
And if you are telling orphans they cannot have a home with a capable parent JUST because of YOUR morality, that is YOUR selfishness.

He throws out this response, and in a few posts he'll be pretending he has "refuted" my argument, and try to refer back to arguments he never actually made...

Meanwhile, he has completely failed to address the point...

And for the record, the fact that straights have raised kids for centuries IS NOT EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING regarding gay capability to raise kids.

That's like trying to compare apple sauce, which has been served for centuries, to orange juice which has been expressly forbidden during that time due to prejudice and bigotry.
