Social Issues In The United States
In the website Isidewith I picked the topic LGBT adoption rights. In the entire U.S 80% of the people agree that gay couples have the same adoption rights as any straight couple. The reason being is that they pass the same background check as a straight couple. The other 20% of the U.S say no it shouldn’t be allowed. They say no because a mother and father relationship is the best. They also propose gay people should not be able to adopt children at all. Another reason on the no side would be that the adoption agencies offer the children to straight couples before gay couples. In my opinion I think every couple should have the right to adopt no matter who they love. If they are willing to go through all the paper work and then pass then that just means they qualify just like any other couple. In the article it was said to believe that a mother and father family structure was needed in the child’s life. In Illinois 82% of the people agree that gay couples do have a right to adopt a child. But the other 18% disagree because of the same reasons as the 20% of the U.S.
