    this is an ignorant comment - gay marriage is still illegal in korea and for a long time adoption was the only way gay couples could have legal protection

    So you said I'm dumb because I'm having my own opinion? Some people thinking snakes disgusting, same saying they are lovely. We have different opinion, you sould learn to respect others and othersl people thoughts and opinion.

    no i don’t, not on this case. do you think same sex couples want to adopt each other? no, they want the same rights as straight people but they legally cannot. they have to resort to using a system not really meant for romantic couples so they have some semblance of legal protection - the ability to pass on property or receive benefits when their loved ones pass away. so for you to be like ewwww icky without understanding why and then doubling down on it is absurd. i absolutely do not have to respect your opinion.

    I understand why they do it, but as somebody who grow up in completly different culture, adpotion means that you adopting a child from an orphange because you can't have one, because you want onemore etc. For me adoption means that the person who adopted going to became a child and the other one becaming a parent. This is why I found icky in this story the adoption.

    It’s not an opinion it’s just plain ignorance. It doesn’t matter where you are from this was done in many countries prior to legalizing same sex marriage. Maybe next time don’t say it’s creepy or icky because that’s what people had to do to be equal with the system. Also comparing snake to people actual hardship is just plain stupid.

    I see you still don't understand what I meant. In mine country adoption alloved only underage so below 18.I was raised in a way that for me adoption means parent-child bond, nothing else.

    Yes I understand that in same countries like China and maybe Korea this is an option of the same sex marriage, but to me it means something completly different. In our country same sex marriage doesn't allowed, and there is no other option.

    I understand what you are saying but we are also explaining it to you why it’s not “creepy” or “icky” but you are still choosing to be ignorant. Not Just China or Korea, Thailand, Canada and the US as well before they legalize same sex marriage. When gay/lesbian adopt each other it’s not the same as a parent adopting a child. It’s just for legal purposes for example to visit each other in hospital, to past down wills etc. Legit just to be treated equally there’s absolutely NOTHING creepy about it.

    It's true some countries are like that same as mine. But it's the modern era it's not surprising that gay people adopt their lovers into their family register, I find it the same as marriage(I'm married myself so please don't hate me) where you also sign papers to have your husband's surname. It could simply be a formality to officially be called a family and I think that's wonderful because if marriage is not allowed for them gay people at least they can still legally be family members.

    You're right. Also being raised in a conservative country or household should not hinder someone to learn and accept other people's beliefs. I am also from a country who doesn't accept LGBTQIA+ and here we honour the Catholic church so much we grew up believing there is only men and women accepted by God. Now that I am an adult I realized there's nothing wrong with different gender preferences.. that doesn't define who someone is as a person. We should all embrace changes especially in this new generation where everyone can express what they want because they are braver than before.
