Homosexual people should not be allowed to adopt children. A child need to be raised in a loving home with a father and mother, preferably ones who will instill the love of God and obedience to His laws. The hedonistic "gay" lifestyle (a choice) is not conducive to raising children. What would our Founding Fathers think if they saw our present "tolerance" of vile sexual perversion? Our country was founded on Christian principles. We are to work hard, raise our children to be good citizens and fear God. Not "party hardy" and live in sin and allow our children to raise themselves in the streets. Homosexuals are not able to have children let alone raise them appropriately. We should bring back lewd cohabitation laws and stop all this before it is to late like ancient Rome. God bless our nation and keep marriage between a man and a woman as He intended.

No, foster children should not go to gay homes. They should go to ones like McCain's. You know, where the father is a drunken wife abuser.

Any adoptive parent or couple is thoroughly vetted by adoption agencies. Children adopted by a gay parent, or parents, are just as wanted, loved, and protected as any other adoptive child.

None of your religious prejudices enter into the picture where adoption is concerned, and you're completely off-base about this being a "christian nation".

Have a nice, hateful, bigoted life, pray to god for forgiveness for the lies you've told here tonight, your immortal soul depends on it.

I've got a wake up call for you "Concerned", that you are not going to want to hear. The reality is that in every state but Florida, Lesbians and Gays can already legally adopt children and have been doing so for decades now. Studies have repeatedly shown that they make they can and do make excellent parents, provide loving stable environments for children to grow up in and produce results equal to their heterosexual counterparts. While you may believe that adoption should be limited to two parent heterosexual married couples, that is probably one of the worst things that could happen in this country again. The result would be tens of thousands of additional children in state care in need of a permanent placement than are already waiting for a place to call home. Lesbians and Gays as well as single heterosexuals have stepped up where married couples have not, or stepped in while while they have gone baby shopping overseas, providing loving stable homes for older children, siblings and special needs children who would otherwise go unadopted.

I am so tempted to OUT a former member of McCain's staff. This staff member became a lobbyist and is not back on campaign staff for McCain. For any gay man to back this bigot is sad.

First they tried the family values and trying to scare America against gay marriage, then they tried to scare America into fearing terrorists coming to US soil, all the while everything we value as Americans has become more of a hardship for ALL working class Americans. It's time to end the War in Iraq, maintain a military presence in Afghanistan, rebuild our alliances with our democratic allies in order to secure our world from acts of terrorism, and invest in America's infrastructure and economy. America needs a new leader by the name of Barack Obama.

McCain graduated in the bottom one percent of his class at the Naval Academy. Specifically his class rank was 894/899. Of course he's against gay rights. The man is a moron.

Your views of homosexuality are based on some horrible and dated stereotypes. Do you know any gay people?
I am straight and only know a few gay people, but I also know that they are wonderful, loving people. Gay parents are no more likely to be crappy parents than straight people. I've seen some really bad parents who are heterosexual. Why does one (being gay or straight) affect the other (ability to adopt)?
Gay parents can instill wonderful traits into their kids. We don't all need to be living in fear from the wrath of God.

Get with the times -- they're gay and they're here to stay! Get used to it - or move to another country.

Sen McCain is exactly right, and I support his comments completely even as I have good friends whom I care about deeply who are imprisoned in their gay lifestyle. Homosexuality is wrong. No place to raise a child.

Homosexuals should NOT be allowed to adopt children. It's not natural and it can damage the children's learning abilities. It's not right. It's immoral. Sinful. Not acceptable. It should be illegal.

OK, so what is your view of what IS right? Brad and Angelina having kids out of wedlock? Unmarried Jamie Lynn Spears having a kid at 17? What makes these better parents just because they could have a "woops, condom broke" moment? What about committed, loving gay and lesbian couples.

How does gay adoption damage "the children's learning abilities"?

Sixty-seven percent of Californians voted against gay marriage just a few short years ago. Why not ask all Americans in a national ballot how they feel about this issue? Put it on the November ballot so the people can decide whether McCain or Obama is correct on this matter. No, the fact is, the gay and lesbian groups lobby against having any gay issues on the ballot. They'd rather believe the push polls that their advocates conduct supposedly on behalf of the media. This country is not as liberal as some would lead you to believe. And Obama is the last person to want to defend his stand in a national poll that counts.

Sex may not be the basis of a same sex couple's relationship, just as it may not be the basis for a heterosexual couple's relationship. Somehow the notion that all same sex couple engage in vile sex is nonsense. After all how do you know what kind of sexual behavior a couple engages in? Of course if you watch porn movies it will give you an idea of all the possibilities, but heterosexuoids engage in vile sexual behavior too (according to the porn flicks.) Let gay couples be the resource for some of those thousands of kids who have no one, who no one wants. Put the well being of those kids before some warped view of how people do or do not engage in sex.
