My only real reasoning is that i don't think that there's any way that i would have felt comfortable with being placed into that situation and i know it would have messed my head up pretty well.

Are you kidding me? The kid wouldn't have a choice either way. What if a pregnant woman finally comes out, and has a relationship with another woman. Should the government take her child away because raising a child with same-sex parents is just too "weird"?
A child isn't going to be so confused and angry when they find out it's more common for male and female parents. TV/movies/going outside all show examples of this every day. It's not like they're going to hit puberty and suddenly realize their parents are gay.
Denying a couple the right to raise a child simply because they're gay is completely absurd. The statistic that "homosexual men have a higher instance of HIV than straight men" is irrelevent to this, I don't even know why it was brought up. An adoption agency isn't a store that you walk into, grab a child and leave. Fit or unfit parenting isn't dependent on sexual orientation or statistics relating to them.
