IMHO there's nothing wrong with a couple of gay people adopting a kid. They are people too, and just like with everyone else, there are some bad apples in every bunch. The rules of adoption and the screening shouldn't really be any different for two gay men than for a man and a women. I am not gay, nor have any close gay friends, but I can imagine what it must feel liike some times to be treated differently just cause someone is jumping to conclusions (whether the treatment is better or worse, I don't care).
Some people seem to be afraid that the gay parents would somehow "mess up" their adopted child, or "make him/her gay", but how would that be any different than fearing a straight couple would mess up their kid, or that kid turning out gay anyway (or, something actually bad, like a wife-beater, rapist or child molester)?
Dunno, its really no big deal to me. Just let the people adopt if they pass the screening, without worrying about their sexual orientation.
