same sex couples can't have kids.
So, they should not be allowed to have kids.

If you cant have kids, you can't have them.

If you will let your sexual desire run over the want for kids, so be it.
You are not parent material

needs an egg and some seed to have a baby.

Want me to draw you a piccie ?

plenty of gay people do all sorts of stuff for "fun"
poor gerbils.

yes, a gay man can bonk a gay lesbian and have a kid.
but a same sex marriage cannot have kids within that marriage and should not be allowed to adopt.

Why shouldn't they be allowed to adopt sprint?

I thought so, but I just wanted to make sure that really was your reasoning.

So if a couple is infertile, they shouldn't be allowed to adopt? By your logic, gay people who still have functioning reproductive organs should get prioritised over infertile hetero couples, as they are far more capable of reproducing the natural way.

Isn't it the interests of the child that matter, rather than the reproductive status of the adoptive parents?

You don't know that happens when these children go to school.  There will be others in a similar situation and children are certainly more accepting of their peers than their parents, in many instances.

I didn't get all the details today, but a new law has been passed (is being passed) to ensure children of same sex parents (conceived under IVF) now have the father/mother - both - on their birth certificates  in "the interests of the child". 

These children have been excluded until now and have had no rights to the non biological parent's estate, permission, visiting rights etc.  It sounds like a decent law in the interests of the child, but it could be extended under the Family Law Act.

Everyone gets teased at school. I don't think a kid with gay parents would get treated any harsher than other kids. By the time the kids figure out there is something 'wrong' they would be over the worst part of that phase.

Sprintcyclist - they are having kids, so we have to do the right thing  and recognise the relationship of their parents.  Denial by society just ensures these kids are social outcasts.

Merou - maybe we can remember the bullying from our school days, but it wasn't because kids had gay parents (basically it hasn't been an issue in the past). 

Kids who have been overly protected, are a bit slow or have some unusual physical characteristic are the ones who get bullied mainly.  There are so many different family set ups these days - that as long as the kid can adapt to mainstream life,  they can cope at school.

We can't stop same sex parents having children, unless we make it a jailable offence, so we have to make it legal for the sake of the children, whether we like it or not.
