So the problem is with the red tape. That's not a valid reason to give queers priority for adoptions.
No, the problem in America is partly due to red tape. Which is why it is common for people who really want to adopt to go to another country and adopt a child. Another reason is that many people want infants. Not children, but infants. Particular infants in fact. Those couple together an make adoption a tedious and long waiting process in America (people are waiting for their infants). Meanwhile millions of other children go without adoption. If a same sex couple wanted to adopt such a child, there should be no problem as there are not enough people willing to adopt the 143 MILLION orphans in the world. And no one said "give priority", equal consideration is all they'd get. Nothing more, nothing less. Regardless of one's own personal take on homosexuality, a stable, loving, two parent home be it heterosexual or homosexual is a lot better than the state raising a child till 18. So now if you're done with your selective hearing, perhaps you can consider the full of the problem.
