Default Gay adoption article

I didn't know whether to put this in the LGBT news section,if so im sure someone can move it

This is an article i read in the times today,its an account written by the journalist about his experience of adopting a child into a gay relationship. I found it really quite moving. Some of the comments at the bottom are very negative tho... *rolls eyes*

that story almost made me cry it was so great. The people in the comments made me pissed. It is so ignorant. If there wasn't such discrimination against same sex couples the kid wouldn't have to deal with any issues about it. And they act like it is impossible for a male to take on a female role in a family. Pure ignorance in those comments. Fortunately the story about the kid and how much love they have for him and how he treats them is so amazing. I cannot wait to have a kid myself one day and be able to feel that way <3
