I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no, I don’t believe in gay adoption
The Raw Story | McCain: Two gays only count as one parent, therefore they shouldn’t be able to adopt

McCain you fucking suck. You can personally believe anything you want about what is best for children, but how dare you use your position of authority to state a flat out fallacy that “we’ve proven” that same-sex parents are harmful to children or provide a less than ideal climate for child development. The American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, both APA’s (psychiatric and psychological), and the National Association of Social Workers have all looked at decades of longitudinal study of children reared in same-sex families and offered briefs attesting to the state of the literature. An extensive literature, which clearly demonstrates that not only have the children in 2 parent same-sex families faired just as well, when one considers the discrimination many of these children face - they actually appear to be incredibly resilient. McCain you can dissaprove for religious reasons, or reasons of political expediency, but you simply will not be allowed to state a falsehood about what “we know” about what is good for children.
