Persuasive Speech
TOPIC: Homosexual Adoption
Title: Social acceptance: a must not a virtue; A story about “coming out” and telling the world you were
raised by gay parents
...

Central Idea: Adoption is a social facility implemented to allow for abandoned children to find a home
and more importantly feel safe regardless the sex of the parents providing this attention
...
Understand that your morality is
not law
...
Understand that if we decide to have sex
whether safe, safer or unsafe, it is our decision and you have no rights in our love
making
...


A- “Adoption is not about finding children for families, it’s about finding families for
children”
...

Transition: Foster children suffer emotionally and are eager to be part of a stable
household equally as much as some couples desire to have a small child to love and to
hold
...


A- No one can assume that gay couples are not capable of decent parenting
...


C- By allowing gay or lesbian couples take initiative in raising a child, it is a step forward
in implementing less discrimination and more acceptance in a judgmental society
that often fails in the marriage institution where divorce rates are higher than ever
...


 Conclusion

I-

Last but not least, allow me to conclude by pointing out that a gay couple never
accidently had a baby they didn’t want so perhaps it is time we clarified that the issue is
with straight people who need to quit bringing children to the world they didn’t truly
want to engage in raising
...


SPEECH

“Understand that sexuality is as wide as the sea
...
Understand that we are you
...
”

Good morning fellow classmates,
I started with an inspirational quote by Derek Jarman about sexuality in general
...
Just like we, society as a whole, are not entitled to
judge who you, your neighbor or anyone decide to build a home with or point fingers to your

choice of a partner, then how is it that one would find the right to prevent any sort of couple to
fulfill a dream of having a family?
Furthermore, if the issue of sexuality doesn’t convince you then perhaps the ethical
understanding of the concept of adoption might
...
I doubt this
statement could be questioned hence I ask you to reconsider your perception of gay adoption
and turn it into a positive vision; one that relates to changing a child’s life who lost hope in
finding a home and finally feeling the affection of two parents who would give everything they
possess to see their baby smile
...
Foster children suffer of heartache and loneliness on
daily basis, they’ve only known rejection and sorrow, they can mostly recall banal thanksgivings
and birthdays without any presents or family to celebrate Christmas with
...

Perhaps there’s an added criteria to the suffering gay couples endure in the process
...
Their needs are simple: the basics of life really; a roof above their heads, food on
the table and a word of kindness every once in a while for they need to feel love to spread love
in their adult years
...

Moreover, criteria that are to be evaluated by foster agencies are not related
whatsoever to the gender of the parents seeking to raise an orphan
...
Many heterosexual
couples lack one or several of the prior; teenage pregnancies are one example
...
The mere fact that any homosexual couple found the strength and courage to go
through with the common inspection prior to bringing a foster child home, it shows maturity
and stability so who are we to prevent it?
And if the social, and psychological dimensions of this debate didn’t convince the
scientific sceptics amongst you then perhaps the scientific approach to the issue will
...
Children’s optimal development seems to be

influenced more by the nature of the relationships and interactions within the family unit than
by the particular structural form it takes
...
Regardless the fact that adopted children by same-sex parents lack biological
similarities like having the same eye color or the same smile but one can’t argue that they have
all of their parents’ heart and that is what truly matters
