It's no less an orientation than homosexuality, according to Hal's link. Should we penalize them for being at the mercy of their orientation? Are they second-class citizens as gays apparently were before they were accepted?
The only thing keeping them from happiness is society's bigoted insistence that teenagers younger than 18 cannot consent to sexual activity.

Maybe the op and texashiker should go have a beer and talk in great detail about all the gay sex they think is disgusting and dirty. Bet within 2 beers they are hooking up in a room.
You would get a f in debate class for this stupid shit.
Why is it in almost thread about homosexuality some dipshit goes done the pedophile route?
Good job you have outed yourself as intellectually disabled.
Atreus21: please tell us about the first time you thought about gay men touching and kissing each other.
Anybody got anything on the merits?
I can accept someone having a rational discussion about gay adoption...
Predictors of Psychological Adjustment in Early Placed Adopted Children With Lesbian, Gay, and Heterosexual Parents
Family type is not a predictor of a childs psychological adjustment among early placed adopted children with lesbian, gay or heterosexual parents. An estimated 16,000 same-sex couples are raising more than 22,000 adopted children in the U.S., and these findings indicate that these children will likely fare no differently, as a result of their family type, than those being raised by heterosexual parents. This study examines aspects of the pre- and post-adoptive contexts in relation to child adjustment in 120 two-parent adoptive families (i.e., 40 female same-sex, 35 male same-sex, and 45 different-sex couples who adopted their children). All 120 couples were adopting their first child, and in all cases it was a single child under the age of 1.5 years.
Catholic opposition aside, research suggests that gay and lesbian parents are actually a powerful resource for kids in need of adoption. According to a 2007 report by the Williams Institute and the Urban Institute, 65,000 kids were living with adoptive gay parents between 2000 and 2002, with another 14,000 in foster homes headed by gays and lesbians. (There are currently more than 100,000 kids in foster care in the U.S.)
An October 2011 report by Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute found that, of gay and lesbian adoptions at more than 300 agencies, 10 percent of the kids placed were older than 6 typically a very difficult age to adopt out. About 25 percent were older than 3. Sixty percent of gay and lesbian couples adopted across races, which is important given that minority children in the foster system tend to linger. More than half of the kids adopted by gays and lesbians had special needs.
AMHERST, Mass. - A new study by psychology researchers suggests that whether parents are gay, lesbian or straight, how well they work together as a couple and support each other in parenting is linked to fewer behavior problems among their adopted children and is more important than their sexual orientation.
The best predictor of child behavior problems was competition between the parents and dissatisfaction with child care labor divisions, which were not related to parents' sexual orientation.
The American Psychological Association also states "Research suggests that sexual identities (including gender identity, gender-role behavior, and sexual orientation) develop in much the same ways among children of lesbian mothers as they do among children of heterosexual parents."
According to the American Psychological Association Policy Statement on Sexual Orientation, Parents, & Children, "there is no reliable evidence that homosexual orientation per se impairs psychological functioning. Second, beliefs that lesbian and gay adults are not fit parents have no empirical foundation."
The merits of your argument that you think adults should be able to fuck children? no.
I don't think that. I couch the terms of the argument in the same rhetoric as that used to defend and justify homosexuality.
we are not talking about preying upon tender aged children for sexual gratification. Thats so far out in left field it doesnt even warrant a conversation.

By your definition, kissing is equally "unnatural," regardless of sexual orientation. The mouth was designed for eating and vocalization, and, in your case perhaps, breathing . . . mouth breathing.
And don't get me started on French kissing. The tongue was never "designed" for probing another's tongue.

How does anyone take you seriously when you use words like "irregardless"?
thanks for commenting on a deleted comment.
people that spend their time resenting gay people for being gay are gay.
too stupid not to know the word? that's on you sir.
If you checked the times, you would have noticed that he responded before the moderation took place.
