(though, I also got ALOT of shit for being straight. Like, ALOT. If you were gay or bi in my high school, you were the most popular person ever. I was the weirdo breeder whose parents still loved each other.) Ahh...California.
REALLY!? That seems extreme even for California (fyi,I grew up near San Bernardino). Did you live in Berkley or San Francisco?
I'm very pro adoption, and I think that as long as the same sex couple or single parent has some kind of set up where the child can benefit from their opposite gender (does that make sense? because I think you should be exposed to male and female influences) then I have no problem with it. Kids don't care, they just want love.
I don't believe that gays and singles should be barred from adoption because, sadly, there are lots of kids who need homes and not enough willing families to take them in. I just wish people could look past political correctness and realize that kids do need a male AND female influence in their lives and that the nuclear family set up is the best way to get it.
