They may be teased. You're right (until WE straight folks teach our kids NOT to judge), but is it then better for the kids NOT to be adopted?
Let's say it's a hard to place kid, someone older even (just to make the discussion easier), or a kid with a disability, is it BETTER for that kid to remain "in the system", in foster care, in an orphanage?

Kids get teased for lots of things. I was raised by two straight parents, didn't stop me from being teased because we were poor. I didn't have fancy new clothes, rode the bus, had to wait for pay day to get school supplies....Should poor people not be allowed to have kids?

not trying to pick on you, but not sure this argument holds water.
