Not to mention sometimes mothers are not around for whatever reason, should that child be given up to child services and brought to a family with a clear mother figure?
Now for the funniest part: "gay parents ... might influence him" This would mean that straight parents would influence their kids, meaning no gay people would exist.

No I know that, but in general women have maternal instincts where as men don't. I know this isn't always the case but I think women are generally more suited to being parents. No they shouldn't be taken away, that's why I said there are some situations that are a tragedy and you just have to make the best of them. But given a CHOICE, they should go to a straight couple.
I didn't say they would totally turn them gay, just that they could influence their decisions/view points about stuff.

-Homosexuality is NOT influenced. It is not a ****ing choice. If it was influenced, straight parents wouldn't have gay kids. Your comment is extremely ignorant and offensive.

- I guess that's just the way society is. There are masculine roles and there are feminine roles.
- But no because a black straight couple could adopt and there would still be a male and female figure.
- Read above ^
