/^t/In recent years minorities of homosexual orientation have been fighting for their legal rights. In response to their demands, authorities in Denmark for example have allowed gay couples to get married. What is more, some of such couples in their struggle to be treated equally with others, demand to be legally allowed to adopt children. The issue is now discussed in several countries. However, there are several reasons why homosexual couples should not adopt children. Gay couples still in most of the countries are not allowed to get married. Thus, they, as a family, would not profit from social protection. Also, they would not be accepted by most of the society and may be subject to discrimination. Finally, homosexual parents cannot provide children with models that would not break the rules of nature.
