I Wrote An Awesome Paper Supporting Gay And Lesbian Adoption Rights!

In the present USA there is talk and laws against homosexual adoption. Straight people can adopt children, but gays and lesbians can’t. This has been a problem in the USA for quite a while. Some may debate that children are put at risk because of having gay or lesbian parents, although some argue otherwise. This group of people want to give kids a place to live that will provide both love and shelter, by not letting homosexuals adopt there is another child out there that now has to wait longer just to be in a home. In my opinion gays’ and lesbians’ should be able to adopt a child of their own because they are willing to give a kid that needs a home, a loving caring family.

This problem has been going on for years. The adoption centers and states have put this topic off to the side. This problem occurs throughout America. People believe that there is a disturbance of children with homosexual parents. There is no data stating that children are at risk with homosexual parents, however there is still belief that a child needs to grow up with a mother and father. This issue is a problem because the people need to come to an understanding. These people are willing to care for a child and every time an offer comes up they are blown away.

This topic is serious and important because 10% of our population is not being treated right, and after all the worlds battle of mistreating it is still going on. This is still going on because all the gays and lesbians in the world are being treated like they are totally different creatures. This will hurt America and it shows that America still hasn’t changed for the better. Also gays and lesbians work hard everyday to fight for their rights as humans and what do people do, ignore them. This is horrid because even they are regular people same looking people, and they care. All in all these people care about everyone in the world and want to help, by pushing their help away, this will not end up good.

People have examined over 10,000 obituaries of homosexuals. Interestingly enough they have found that heterosexuals live to about 70; the death range for lesbians was between the age of 40 and 50, and they gay death range was in the 40s range. So, kids with homosexual parents are more apt to losing a parent early than say a kid with heterosexual parents. Although only 10% of the population is homosexual. They will still have a family for as long as it takes for them to grow up and mature.

Whenever homosexuals do adopt they provide a wonderful family. The importance is only that they provide a kid friendly environment. This is a bad issue that needs to be resolved.

Others may look at this like it is a bad thing. For example: a nine year old girl’s mother was a lesbian, the little girl felt like she could not tell anyone about her mom because they would make fun of her. A girl who is now in her late 30’s said that she walked in on her mother and her mother’s girlfriend, and the girlfriend started yelling at her. This evidence could be important because it shows that the cruelty in the world affects a parent’s relationship with their child. This is a reason out of a million though; this could just be a misunderstanding.

People might disagree because sometimes a kid with homosexual parents turns out to be a homosexual. There have been stories and research proving that; but why does it matter? Isn’t it their life? This should not be followed because it would be as if we just switched it around saying, well blacks can’t be the same as white, but instead they are saying gays and lesbians are not the same as heterosexuals.

Gays and lesbians should not be treated any differently. When gays and lesbians do adopt a child they care for them and respect them the same as heterosexuals. In conclusion, this is a big problem that will take time to fix. This time could be spent finding evidence to support both sides, coming to an agreement.
