My sources indicate it is quite difficult to adopt. Abortions have reduced available children.

And if it is blood-connections that is what counts, then my hetro-parent family is a sham in the eyes of someone who believes this. This is of course Poppycock to the highest order and degree. A smoke screen.

Adoptions mimic the natural biological family growth, and are the result of abberations. Most humans in history have not be adopted.

I will note, that in ancient Roman society, adoption was considered a stronger and more irrevocable tie, because the parent CHOSE the child.

The gay guy on Bill Maher the other night said it best, Gays are damned if they do and damned if they don't. It would be convenient for gay's opponents if gays just didnt exist. No marriage or other equal rights to fuss about.

Lets get the record straight.

1 Theology .
As a fundamentalist christian, I do NOT believe gays are all going to hell, do NOT believe they have to become straight to be christian, and do NOT believe they are any less loved by my God than I am.

2. Socially
I believe gays should be accorded the freedom to practice their sexuality, and should be able to live a life without harrassment, violence, job loss, or ridicule. Violence toward homosexuals is disgusting to the extreme.

3. Personally
I enjoy the company of my homosexual friends and regard them highly. Even when they hit on me.

This is about what support and encouragement is given to biologically life united families. I do not appreciate the inference I am "antihomosexual" simply because I want to encourage certain people in life.

I have yet to hear an argument against gay marriage/parenting that wasn't rooted in prejudice, no matter how well justified or explainified.

I do believe you are misusing the word prejudice.
