Thomas Jefferson quoted in the Declaration of Independence “all men are created equal”(Jefferson par 1). What exactly does this mean? It means that all men are to have the same rights. That no one should be treated more superiorly and have more opportunities. Gay adoption is an extremely controversial issue in our world today. Many people believe that it should be banned, and that homosexuals shouldn't experience the same rights that heterosexuals get. How does this viewpoint compare to what Thomas Jefferson said? Homosexuals are the same as anyone else in the world and offer just as much to the upbringing of a child.

Although only two states specifically ban adoption by gays, most states discourage it. Just as blacks and women have fought for equal rights, gays are now struggling to do the same. It is unfair to single out a group of people with many members who would make great parents. While many people think the gay couple desert legal right to have their own life, for they are just as human as others. Although many people are fighting for same sex couples adopting, I believe the gay couples should not be allowed to adopt children since it brings to many effects such as emotion, sex education, and the nature.
First of all, the negative effects of children have raised under homosexual are exits. The supporting same-sex groups claim that children will grow up normally under raising of gay couples; however, there are many influences that cannot ...
