    The media is not going to stop ramming LGTB PCism down people's throats.

    One Million Moms is a fanatical and bigoted group. The Gay parents should berate this hateful group.

    What so wrong about giving black children a loving family?

    Nothing is wrong with it except gays seem to get permission to adopt in about 5 minutes while it takes a straight couple years and thousands of dollars.

    Only right wingers would rather these kids be raised by a dysfunctional foster care system and be abused than be raised by these two stable gay men.

    Nothing - but the hate runs deep with the religious right when it comes to homosexuals. These kids are being given a great home with two loving parents but apparently, that's not good enough. The religious right would rather these two crackheads raise these kids;

    Nice try and that thought you're trying to plant is insulting. There are thousands of couples who are either on waiting lists to adopt, can't afford the process, or are told their lifestyle doesn't meet the criteria. But the couple in this story managed four adoptions

    What if they're well off, great jobs, and loving people ? The fact your only objection to this is on the basis of the gay parents is why your argument holds no merit. You have nothing of substance against this gay couple, NOTHING.

    "What if they're well off, great jobs, and loving people ?"

    What if they're murderers? You're guessing at what they might be like when you don't know. And how would they have great jobs when all we hear about today is how gays can't get or keep jobs?

    I have nothing against this couple, where did you get that idea? My beef is with them getting kids to adopt while many others have to go to Russia in order to do so. These people were put ahead of everyone and given special treatment. You know it, I know it, this entire board knows it.

    Straight couples adopt a large amount of kids all the damn time. Your anger and objection is based 100% on the fact is a gay couple. You have no valid argument to oppose it - as I have just shown.

    No one who thinks these kids have a loving family understands what love is.

    Please provide some evidence for this ridiculous claim.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Oh yes because we all know love is a super secret knowledge system passed down through the generations by god-fearing heterosexual couples.

    Is the fact that they are gay that bothers you or that they adopted outside their race...or is it both?

    Indeed it is, to people like yourself who'd rather be dead than understand it.

    You continue to have propensity of partially quoting people in order to change their meaning. This is dishonest.

    Also you dodged the question by dishonestly trying to deflect my question by only partially quoting my post. Is it the fact that they are gay that you have problem with or is that they have adopted children of different race or is it both?

    - - - Updated - - -

    So how does their sexual preference affect their ability to give children a home exactly?

    The best option for a child is to be raised in the same home with their heterosexual father and mother. Anyone who argues otherwise is a complete loon.

    But the family featured in the magazine is preferable to what the kids had before they were adopted. Good for them.

    Black children in the US aren't too difficult to adopt. The criteria, process, and protocol are the same for all. People wanting an infant or toddler, especially a white one, will pay more and have more difficulty.

    I think you're taking the wrong approach in this thread... while knowing some adoptive families, if this didn't take them over a year, then we can fairly assume you are correct and someone sped up the process for them, but we don't know the timeline I guess...

    instead... what I would like to see you saying is... where are all the liberals who demand we spend money on these programs so black moms can keep their kids? where are all the liberals who support abortion, but punt the kid after onto the backs of republicans once they don't want the kid they squirted out? I mean thats the usual mantra, if republicans are so against abortion why don't they ever want to support women with children... well here we are, trillions of dollars later, and black women are still punting their kids and giving up on them, assuming they aren't being taken away, but once again, we have programs for that so where are all the liberals running them?!?!

    attack the liberals for their failures to keep these children with their parents after all their programs we spend hundreds of billions on annually...

    P.S. I'm okay with gays if they adopt kids, frankly I don't care either way really... I just thought I'd give you some better firepower to shoot back at them with...

    What programs are liberals supposedly running away from?

    We do? I am part of this board and I "know" no such thing. In fact it looks to me like assertion pulled straight out of your butt.

    Nothing to see here. A "magazine" exploits black children to advance the gay agenda. Liberals have been exploiting blacks since at least the 60's, so no big deal. Two gays adopt black children to legitimize their "marriage". I guess that's novel but not surprising. The government and liberals play along as though everything is perfectly natural and as it should be. Poor kids.

    "But I didn’t expect a group of moms to say we are sinners." Really?
