    I mean it makes sense. India has so few children available for adoption that it wouldn’t be fair to the normal couples.

    Edit: Fucking wooosh you people. It’s pretty sad you guys couldn’t see the obvious sarcasm in my comment.

    1. India is drowning in orphan kids
    2. “Normal” obviously is what the lawmakers were thinking, that was the joke.

    This isn’t Reddit, I shouldn’t need to put /s on everything, jeez.

      Get used to /s if you plan on continuing to post “jokes” indistinguishable from sincere bigotry

          I sooner expected that it was some racist dogwhistle that I hadn’t learned of yet, yeah. When you have learned to disengage quickly at the early vibes of bad faith trolls, it can be hard for unmarked sarcasm and satire to make the cut. Poe’s law and all.

      Not everyone is good at detecting sarcasm, especially not on the internet where people say what you said in all seriousness.

      Tone indicators like /s are precisely there because there is no tone over text, to prevent misunderstanding.

        Think about all the good heterosexual couples who won’t be able to adopt.

        Next thing you’ll be asking for equal educational opportunities for lower castes, and if there’s not enough books to go around then we know who deserves an education.

      “It woudnt be fair towards some couples if other couples were not excluded”

      Why does the gender of the parent matter at all in the case of adoption?

      Kid should go to the family best able to provide for love and good health. The primary reason adoption exists is cause kids need a home, not just couples wanting a child.

      Hurrumph to everything in your edit. That was so blatantly obvious that I suspect people are just roaming around looking for an opportunity to argue.

          I actually laughed out loud when I read your post, and then after seeing the edits I was like “Sheesh, people!”
