Some of the commonly cited reasons why gay people should not be allowed to adopt children include: fear that gay parents could not provide a safe and stable environment for a child; fear that children would lack the necessary role models in terms of sexuality; and belief that homosexuality could be “gay-ed” out of a child if exposed to same-sex relationships early on. Other arguments have centered around religion, with some religions considering homosexuality as sinful or wrong. Critics have argued that allowing gays to adopt is in violation of the rights and beliefs set forth by their religion.  In some instances, there have even been cases where it has been noted that an individual’s sexual orientation may prevent them from receiving equal treatment with straight individuals under certain anti-discrimination laws. All these factors indicate why society still does not accept gays as good parents or allow them the right to adopt. It is therefore essential we work towards dispelling myths related to homosexual parentage while providing education on all available options for children needing homes.

1. Reason 1: Many religions oppose homosexuality, therefore allowing gay people to adopt would contradict their beliefs.
2. Reason 2: Gay parents could not provide children with a "traditional" home life and could negatively influence them.
3. Reason 3: Allowing gay adoption could lead to lower moral standards in society and an increase in LGBT acceptance in the young population which may not be ideal for some cultures and religions that oppose homosexuality. 
4. Reason 4: Studies suggest that children adopted by same-sex couples often suffer from greater rates of anxiety, depression, poorer educational outcomes and lower levels of emotional wellbeing compared to those adopted by heterosexual couples so it is unclear whether this is good for the child's development as they would lack traditional gender role models growing up with two moms or two dads respectively..
