    In all seriousness though, why are people so bothered about it? If its consenting adults then who am i to tell them how to live their only life?

    Unnatural as they cant reproduce? I think we are doing well enough with the 7 billion people we have on this wee blue marble.

    If they adopt a child it will be bullied at school? Then perhaps you should teach your children how not to be an intolerant little *, instead of how homosexuality is wrong and different.

    But that really is just discrimination then.

    Teaching people to be respectful and accepting of gay people, or any minoroty group, isn't 'shoehorning' any sort of attitude, nor is it crazy. It's about trying create a more respectful and accepting society.

    It's not an experiment at this point. Gay adoption is on the rise in the US and the UK, and has been for a while, and yet we aren't being inundated with reports of miserable children and suicides. There's a chance someone could kill themselves because they're being bullied, as you alluded to in your last post, but that's true of anyone who's bullied. Denying children an otherwise happy childhood because of the chance (and that's all it is, a chance) that someone might bully them, doesn't hold up. And again, that goes back to the original point of making sure we teach children to be respectful of others (which @Jax Teller summed up perfectly in his last post).

    100% go nuts and do as you pleae. All consenting and understanding then who is to stop anyone?
    Marry, adopt, live together, don't, doesn't bother me.


    The only thing I dont understand is the strong will of some folk to get married in the catholic church. If you are that strongly a catholic - then (and right or wrong) you would assume they would share the views of the catholic church - why would you want the blessing from the church and to be married in the name of something that doesnt accept who you are?

    Completely baffles me. Can get married in the eyes of the law elsewhere and all that, so dont understand the urge and desire for some to be married in the church. But I'm not in that situation, so who knows what individuals are thinking and feeling.

    You always let the mask slip in the middle of the night.

    You sir, are an intolerant bigot, simple as that.

    What about me, I bring my daughter up while my wife goes out to work, is that not right in your eyes or is it ok because I'm not gay?

    I think views on sexuality are moving on rapidly these days (although not globally) so I'd like to think that bullying kids over having gay parents wouldn't be an issue nowadays and in the future. No doubt there will be the odd case but it shouldn't be a reason to not allowing gay adoption.

    Also, how awesome would two dads have been growing up. Non of that "go ask your mother" pish :giggle1:

    Man you really are fixated with my time schedule! :giggle1:

    It has nothing to do with time, how many times do i have to repeat myself to you? I stand by every word i said 10 hours ago when i was 100% sober btw!.

    There is no mask to slip. Clearly i did not mean the father of the child when referring to baby sitting.....but then i suspect you knew that.

    I dont really care if me not being comfortable with 2 gay men adopting is unpopular.....you dont change your view to be popular. Its how i feel, bigoted or not. If it discriminates.....sobeit. We all draw the line somewhere when it comes to being liberal.

    Would two gay men not be the Father to the child if they adopted him/her?

    Technically yes, but given the amount of child abuse that goes on in society, the vast vast majority carried out by men, family members usually......i just personally think having 2 men as 'parents', particularly when not natural parents....doubles the risk. Also, given that between 3-5% of men are said to be paedophilic in nature....with a couple, that rises to 6-10%. Sorry, i said before i know it is unfair, but too much has come out in recent years and i do not trust men with kids. (unless actual father)

    The vast majority are hetrosexual males. Hetro males who can legally father as many kids as they want.

    When i hear about paedophiles on the news, invariably it involves boys.

    Ok, but i don't think that makes the paedo a gay man. It's like prison rapists, it's all about power, domination and control. They're attracted to children, the * of the child they abuse probably has to do with whatever access they get to children - sports clubs, scouts etc. Young girls will probably be in care of females more with things like brownies or dance classes.
