My idiotic roomate in college used to use this argument. I guess my only response would be something along the lines of comparing it to mixed-race marriages. It might be a well-intentioned thought, sixate, but it still smacks of discrimination and ignorance. Parents should be allowed to adopt based on their ability to care for the child, not for the shit the kid will get because of his or her parents. Every fucking kid gets shit in school, even if they are six feet tall at twelve years old. A kid with same-sex parents just gets a different brand of shit.
