What no one seems to give a toss about and which I think is far more important is gay adoption. Many kids don't get a proper upbringing for whatever reason but if the state has a choice of who to give a child to then its IMO beholden to put them in a normal family - ie man & women. A child needs a mother and a father, not 2 of one and zero of the other. Gay adopters should be a last resort if there is simply nowhere else for the child to go. The childs rights are paramount, the couples rights are irrelevant. My understanding is that, in the UK, there is a shortage of adoptive parents at the moment (ie a surplus of children). The choice, then, isn't between a stable home where a man and a woman live together to raise the child or a stable home where two men or two women live together to raise the child, but between a stable home where two men or two women live together to raise the child or some institutional care home (with a long etsablished history of not providing a particularly good environment for children, often from difficult backgrounds). Studies of homosexual couples who have adopted have suggested that, from a child welfare perspective, the environment they provide their children is signficiantly better than that provided by a care home.

Probably true. But I even if there weren't a shortage of adopters the gay lobby would do their best to make sure "equal rights" were applied to couples wrt who gets a child and sod what matters to the child itself.
