Yes and here is why. Wait, actually sure they can marry, just dont let them adopt children. This has been touched on already in this thread, but I will further it. And try to keep an open mind, which some of you claim to be so good at in the first place.
I for one am not religious and can't say that I have anything against homosexuals as people. I, in fact, have an aunt that is of this orientation, and I do not think ill of her.
Since, in being Liberal, human rights is of a major issue. To me, herein lies the contradiction. If by giving a gay couple the right to marry, thus adopt, the right of the child to say whether or not they want two of the same gender parents is taken away. Yet, for many children, they are too young to even understand this when they get adopted. How is this fair to a child? Can you honestly say that you would choose two dads/moms over a mom and dad, or that if the choice was made for you, which in most cases it would be, it would not matter. Im confident that any child psychologist would tell you that a child grows up healthiest in a two parent, mom and dad family. Argue this if you must, but I'd call it indisputable. It seems that many of societies problems are already being blamed on children being improperly raised and loved. I really don't doubt that a same sex couple could love the child just as much if not more than a hetero couple. However, and it probably has to do with our biology, a child is raised best in a two parent, mom and dad family. And as already stated, to me, this is indisputable but you could always try.
So like I said, if marriage really is that important to homosexuals, then let em have it, or give it a different name, but the adoption of children is a right that I feel would be wrong to give.
Does this make me a homophobe? Well Im not scared of gay people sooo... maybe that word should be used with a little more caution and thought. Or are many of you marriphobes?
Oh yeah, two hotties getting it on is definetly hot.
