It's not adoption angencies in general that are refusing to allow gay couples to adopt; it's religious adoption angencies, i.e. Catholic Adoption centres.
Yes, it is prejudice and homophobic but what people have to understand is that it is part of their faith. Trying to force everyone to hold the same values would make people fascists.
Also, the sex discrimination act of 1975 has been broken by the Catholic Church since the law existed, why is the discrimination of gay people unacceptable, yet the discrimination of women is deemed as acceptable?

I mean what the hell is the big deal about? It's not like cos someones gay that it will make them less of a person...or a parent for that matter, and it's a far better life for a kid rather than living in and out of foster homes for God knows how long.
When it comes to adoption i dont mind, however if this was on Marriage then no i dont agree with gay marriages

There are tonnes of ways to get married and it have nothing to do with religion whatsoever. More to the point are you saying that gay people can't be religious?
