Should LGBT couples be allowed to have children?

It is important to recognize that LGBT individuals and couples have the same rights as any other individual or couple to become parents and have children.

This includes the right to adopt, to use assisted reproductive technologies, and to foster or co-parent with other individuals or couples. There is no inherent reason why LGBT individuals and couples should not be allowed to have children, and they should be treated with the same respect and dignity as any other potential parent.
