As I was watching the mini documentary, 30 days, it tells about a Morman mother who has to stay in a household for a month with a two male couple/parents to examine the issue for the gay community (GLBTQ) to adopt. The big agreement here is that Katie , the mother visiting the family, feels as though it is wrong and it is not tradition for modern family values. That growing up in that type of environment will leave children unhappy and confused. Dennis and Tom Patrick, the male couple,  is fighting for same sex parenting among adoption and that it should be restricted and put under state law. The opposite argument however feels as though as long as their families are stable and if their children are loved, why should sexual orientation matter. The gay community is fighting for the rights to adopt children and to put them in their homes for love and care.

Katie, believes that it is wrong to adopt because of what she and god thinks is right she claims. She wants this law, to ban gay adoption approved because it not only affects her “very only moral fiber” but others who agree with her as well. I do not think her argument is very compelling due to the fact that she just only says this prior to her beliefs. It should not matter how children are being raised unless children are being brought into safe homes. Any other parent whether it’s a homosexual family have rights on how they should raise their family correctly and others don’t interfere and I feel this issue should not be a big deal.

Dennis and Tom have a problem with the attempts to ban gay adoption. They feel that it isn’t right and fair for them to stomp on their toes. They state that what they’re doing shouldn’t be law enforced and that children, in my opinion, is that people who feel gay adoption is wrong should view gay adoption in a whole new way. What they should pay attention to is that children are happy having a family rather than in adoption homes without someone to actually care for. I feel that is what is really important!
