Re: Discrimination or inclusion?
Dude I was gonna start this thread myself.
I totally agree with your point and the slavery analogy. It makes me sick thet people would deny children a loving home because their feelings are hurt because they are not allowed to practice discrimination.
Bastards to a man.

Re: Discrimination or inclusion?
You can't veto equality without clearly discriminating against the group you are not being equal to.
Again, to deny a child a loving family is sick.

Re: Discrimination or inclusion?
Why should any one respect a belief that increases childhood misery?

In real life the children will almost definitely get discriminated against themselves.
My mother came out as gay when I was a kid: none of my school chums made an issue of it. Hurrah for not going to a religious school.
As an aside, would you prevent a child from going to a couple who were a pair of fat bastards? They would get no end of ribbing from their playmate.

And I think THAT is the real problem the Catholics have with gay adoption. They REALLY want people to continue to hate gays.
Bang on the money, nator.
A particular view of a dusty text obviously means more to some than the welfare of a child.

Re: Discrimination or inclusion?
How the hell is it right for xians to say that it is right to close down perfectly good oportunities for children to have a chance at a loving family?
You see gheys as not worthy of bringing up kids otherwise you would not have a discriminatory stance on this issue.
If you thoughts gheys were good enough to trust with kids this issue would never have come up.
You don't want gheys to foster or adopt kids.
Your position is SICK and so full of hate that it would see kids pushed from pillar to post rather than see them go to a good home!

If sex is not consensual, if it is undertaken with out the desire for a child,
That fragment puts it so very clearly into focus your position. You equate none consensual sex with protected sex with a loving partner.
I plan to have sex tonight with no intention of making a baby; will I be barred from adopting?
This is planet 21st century calling Ana?

you give me some concrete evidence that homosexuality is not a choice, and that acting on a desire even if it is innate in you is always correct, I am forced to continue in my belief that homosexuality is a by-product of character and is one of the variables of character itself.

Popular belief & base rate of homosexuality
.. 43% of Americans believe that 'young homosexuals became that way because of older homosexuals'
In an interview with Science in 1992 Bailey stated:
'No one has ever found a postnatal social environmental influence for homosexual orientation - and they have looked plenty'

Please take a look at this link from my university. If you are really interested in finding out a bit more about this subject.
Start from the top to get a really good idea of what it all means. Please don't cherry pick.
