    Argumentation Theory
    CLAME and DATA - EQUAL RIGHTS TO ADOPT

     CLAIM - Gay and heterosexual couples


    deserve the same legal rights to adopt.
    Anything less represents a discrimination
    based on homophobia.
     DATA - The Universal Declaration of Human
    Rights clarifies the term of EQUALITY: “all
    are equal before the law … all are entitled to
    equal protection against any
    discrimination...”
    REBUTTAL
    RELIGION, MORAL VALUES AND CONCERNS

     Gay parenting concepts run against many


    religious beliefs.
     People opposing the adoption voiced major fears:
     children growing up with gay parents would show
    disturbances in gender identity;
     children in the custody of gay or lesbian parents will be more
    vulnerable to mental breakdown;
     children living with gay parents may be stigmatized;
     children living with gay parents may be more likely to be
    sexually abused;
     children of gay parents may experience difficulty in social
    relationships

    BREAKING DOWN PREJUDICES
     Homosexuality is not a mental disorder
     The American Psychiatric Association removed "homosexuality" from the
    list of mental disorders (1975).

     LGBTQ couples make great parents


    Homosexual couples tend to be better motivated and more committed than
    heterosexual parents;
     There was no evidence of any behavior problems among children of gay
    parents;
     Fears that children in custody of gay parents might be at risk for sexual
    abuse are without basis;
     Children fare better when parents are in good psychological health and
    living happily with a gay partner.
     The children in homosexual families grow up more tolerant and open-
    minded.
    BACKING
    ORPHAN AND ABANDONED CHILDREN NEED FAMILIES

     Most will come from orphanages, foster homes or single


    parents unable to cope;
     Many children are from poor countries;
     Given the shortage of suitable straight couples, gay
    adoption can provide the loving homes orphan children
    need.
     The number of children in state care and orphanages is
    constantly growing;
     Many children linger in the system and grow up without
    the warmth of a family and a home, without the love of
    a parent whether this parent is heterosexual or gay.
    The best way to make children good is to
    make them happy. Oscar Wilde
