I believe love shouldn’t hold any boundaries. There shouldn’t be restrictions on how you feel about someone no matter what gender, race age, and religion. I believe I should be able to love anyone as I please and who I please. Even in the bible its states we should love one another. When I googled the word love I got a lot of definitions. The results I receive were: an intense feeling of deep affection, great interest and pleasure in something, an affectionate way of ending an letter, feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone and etc. it also show different ways the word can be used for e.g. love for, in love with, feeling in love, love of, loving and other ways of expressing oneself through a phrase. They were all different but still represent the same thing. Love cannot be for a specific thing or person its universal it’s for everyone and everything. In society today people put a boundary on love and state what or who we shall or shall not love. So in my beliefs I think I should love anyone at my own free will so I believe in Gay, Lesbian, Straight, Interracial, Christian, Islam, Judaism, Old vs Young love and no label or boundaries should be hold against them. And with that being said I think it should be able for anyone to adopt, get married, and live their life as a normal couple.
If a lesbian couple wants to adopt a child a lot of cons are being thrown on to why they shouldn’t. Some don’t even make sense. Like for instance if a lesbian couple want to adopt a boy question are asked like who will teach him how to pee, who will let him be a man, or he need a man in his life to show him how to take care of responsibilities. But yet we forget that we have single mothers as well with fathers who don’t want to step up...

...p affection” meaning to be passionate about something or someone so love can be shown and given to anyone.
Growing up I experience a lot just by observing my surroundings. As I get older I get to understand more and more what everything means. I’ll see men and woman together which is label as right and I’ll also see woman and woman or men and men together which is label as wrong. Looking at all scenarios I come to realize that no matter who was with who they all seem happy and they looked passionate about each other. So I come to believe that it doesn’t matter who you are with love is love. And I believe this because no love is wrong or right but all love is real, true and free and therefore no labels, boundaries or restriction should form around it. I support my belief with that we were made equally and the lord our God states that we should love one another.

    Discrimintaion and equality in society is faced amongst people every day. One certain subject that seems to get most of this attention is whether or not homosexual couples should be able to adopt. Same sex couples should be able to adopt children for many reasons. Children that are raised by same sex parents are predominantly taught to be more open minded, have a greater sense of tolerance, and are thought of to be role models for equality in relationships and life. Most would say that these children will face issues regarding their parents sexual orientation, but this is not so. Children of same sex parents have studied to show very few differences in achievement, mental health, and social function as a child that is raised in a heterosexual household. Same sex parents will allow their child to express themselves through different talents and other attributes that there child seems to be indulged in. These children are often showing more loving, nurturing ,and outgoing behaviors that is exposed to them through gay parenting.

  • Should Homosexuals be able to adopt or foster care to children?

    842 Words  | 2 Pages

    If there are over two million LGB (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) people willing to adopt a child, why not give a child a permanent home? There are over 65,000 adopted children and 14,000 foster children in the U.S. that are being raised in homes headed by non-heterosexual individuals or couples (Evan B. 2011). To let same sex couples adopt has been a huge deal throughout the United States for the past years that some states even banned them from ever adopting. Many lesbian and gay couples have been denied the application to adopt due to agencies that have negative views towards the couple because of religion or other beliefs. Everyone no matter who they are have “equal rights” and those rights are disrespected daily when it comes to homosexuals adopting or even thinking of becoming a parent themselves. Even though it is said children need both a male and a female parent to psychologically develop properly, homosexual couples should have the ability to adopt because they are equally capable of raising a child as a heterosexual couple.

  • In The Depths of Gay and Lesbian Adoption

    755 Words  | 2 Pages

    Being for or against gay and lesbian marriage has been the topic that has started a great amount of controversy in the U.S. for the past few years. In some states gay marriage has been already been approved, but in others it has been denied. The next hot topic in the U.S. refers to the approval of gay and lesbian adoption. There are many negative and positives to this subject, whether society is for, or against gay and lesbian marriage. The act of gay and lesbian adoption should not be allowed because, yes its true we don’t get to choose our parents but we should at least be able to have a father and mother, not two fathers and or two mothers. It is also not fair for an innocent little one to get put on the spotlight and get dirty looks from others because of the adults’ choices. The embarrassment of not having a mother or father can be so overwhelming on such children that it could unfortunately lead them to taking bad actions.

    Gay couples should be able to adopt because they deserve to be happy as well as any other person. According to author Pascoe Watson he states “Gay couples will have to prove they have an enduring relationship with the children to know the children will be happy” (Pascoe- Watson, George p. 3). Just like any other person their relationship with their children will mature, and will soon be able to have that love and caring affection, just like any other mother and father would provide to their children. There are a lot of homosexual couples in our society that have managed to win children’s love without having any problems what so ever and remain as one happy family. Homosexuals dream is to form a family just like any other person wishes to have. Furthermore, this shows that gay parents will do the impossible to prove they can build a love and caring relationship.

  • Homosexuals’ Rights on Raising Children

    662 Words  | 2 Pages

    Out of fifty states, only sixteen states allow gay adoptions while people in the other thirty-four states are either denied or sent to court to be determined by a complete stranger with no background information on the couple, whether or not they can take care of a child or not. According to “LGBT Adoption Statistics”, in 2012, 110,000 adopted children live with gay parents. Of the total amount of children in U.S. households, less than one percent lives with same-sex parents. If homosexuals were allowed to adopt, that one percent would rapidly increase. Sexual orientation of parents is not important when it comes to raising children; how the children are being raised and how the parents work together is what is truly important.

  • This I Believe

    The religious icon Buddha preached often to his followers. One of his messages was to “believe nothing. No matter where you read it, or who said it, even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your common sense.” The Buddha’s intendment was to have people think for themselves, not to believe whatever they are taught. Raised a Roman Catholic, I have always believed in the principles and ethics of that faith, strictly because it was what my parents had taught me to believe. Growing up and learning to think for myself, and listening to the stories of others on the This I Believe program has forced me to consider this message given by Buddha. There were three speakers in particular that sparked an interest within me. Whitney Harris, Penn Jillette, and Joel Engardio all challenged the way I view not only my religion, but the world.

  • Benefits Of Adoption Persuasive Essay

    1793 Words  | 4 Pages

    Homosexual couples should be granted the same freedom to adopt children like heterosexual couples because there are so many children in the foster care who need a nurturing home; it is narrow-minded to think that only heterosexual couples have the capability of raising a child properly; and it is prejudice to exclude homosexuals from adopting a child based on their sexuality. A parent-child relationship may be one of the most sacred and cherished gifts in life but it is also a privilege. The main purpose of adoption is not just for the satisfaction of a couple, regardless of their sexuality—ultimately, it is for the well-being of the adopted child.

  • Gay Marriage Persuasive Essay

    Firstly, most agencies only allow married couples to adopt a child. In addition, in 2010, nearly 96 percent of babies is adopted by lesbian co-mothers while adoption of mixed-gender couples occupies just 4 percent. Instead of surrogacy and artificial insemination, both lesbian and gay couples are in high demand for adopting babies or children. Besides,a research of Ellen C. Perrin (2002) proved that the children, who are adopted by homosexual or heterosexual, have the same toy, game, style, friends, etc. In other words, personality, lifestyle, interior life, behaviors, gender identity, and sexual orientation of children do not depend on the gender of their parents. Consequently, it is undoubted that a child being cared for in a same-gender married family that this child will receive tangible and intangible things is better than in foster-care

    Gay and lesbian people should be allowed to adopt children; therefore, by revealing the lies behind rumors pertaining to the reason why gay and lesbian people aren't allowed to adopt children will help to make for better reasoning to why they should be allowed to have children systematically. When reviewing over the criminal records covering child molestation, it is a 100% more likely chance that heterosexual people partake under the category. With this piece of evidence being a fact, it breaks the rumor, "Gay [and lesbian] people are more likely to rape the children they adopt." Typically, when people are forced to make up assumptions based off how others live, they are being motivated by an either past or religious influence; therefore, making them assume quickly on such a topic as this. Studies from Morehouse University's psychological theories group shows that less than 13% of married same sex couples have difficulty raising their opposite gender; whereas 32%, coming from the same state, have a difficulty raising their single child with both genders present in the home.Typically when people are denied their rights because of others' fear, the stress starts to become overwhelming and they start to fall align with that person's expectation; however, with gay and lesbian people, they are making strives more than the average hete...
