You may not intend to advocate that, but you're reading right from their playbook and it's what your ideas imply. If sexual orientation doesn't make them any less able to be a parent, why wouldn't you advocate for them????

I would advocate anyone to parent a child who is able to do it properly, regardless of their lifestyle.
A friend of mine is a foster parent, along with her husband. She had three black children and two white children in her care two years ago. She wanted to adopt all five. The black children had the same parents, and the white children also had the same parents.
The black children who's parents were both in prison for over three years got out and wanted their children back. Those children had been in my friend's home, called them mom and dad, and were active in church and school from the time they were taken away.
The white children also had parents that were on drugs but weren't in prison. Those children were also placed with my friend from the day they were taken (the baby came straight to her from the hospital).
The state decided that my friend, being white, wasn't good enough to adopt those black children and returned them to their parents.
The white children, however, were allowed to be adopted after the parents were told that their rights were being terminated.
Within six months, the black children were back in foster care, and their parents back in prison. My friend, however, didn't receive those children back, and will not. She went through too much hell the first time trying to straighten them out, only to have them put back in the filth they were taken from.
Now, I don't know where they are, but if they happened to be with gay parents, it's certainly better than being with their own. If gay people can adopt those boys and love them and provide for them, they will turn out better citizens than if they remained with their own parents.
Have you gotten my point yet? That's not advocating for gay parents.
And now I must leave for a while. See ya soon!
