The Church of England..

ironic really that the CoE oppose same sex marriages but are quite happy to sodomise young boys

Might get one up on the media but they'll never beat CC.

I still oppose same sex marriage

I can't have same sex marriage either & even sillier is letting them inflict
the odd ways on children by letting them adopt

What happens when the childs at school sports day & they have the Dads race?

Surely this would cause boooing from watchers, 2 dads being in one race

or an unfair advantage, obviously the fastest dad enters the race

Children need a Mother and Father. We have far too many single parents in my opinion

I am not sure two of the same sex improves this much.

I agree Ron so I don't approve unless there is nobody else to adopt them.

as you say, who has the say so to say it's right when the by far majority
knows it's nothing short of sick.

normal people know whats right & wrong & i'm never gonna be brainwashed into thinking
that's normal - i dare say that's me crossed off Elton Johns Christmas card list this
year

Ron - I'd stick to your specialist subject if I were you. This one is stretching you a bit.

"imo it's totally unfair on the adopted child to end up with 2 parents of the same kind - a high % imo would grow up to be strange/odd or
even maybe dangerous people? after all it's not normal is it even though we're being made out to make out we approve Crazy"

Oh the wonders of normality.

Ebulgery "Gay marriage has never been tried before in Human History"??  They didn't bother with heterosexual marriage for roughly the first 90% of Human History.

next blackbarn will be saying it's totally normal for men to have sex with goats,

what planet are you on man? get in the real world ffs

Ron - I don't know. I don't really understand your preposition. 

Are you describing a situation where a homosexual couple adopt a child, and then both of those parents attend that child's future Sports Day and that you are guessing that I would be cheering for both parents if they were running in the dads race together. Is that what you mean?

It was only a joke to start with - but made me think.

That's a solution Ron

Ron - what is weird is that I regard myself as on this "planet" and normal - Mid sixties, retired, husband, father and grandad. I just don't recognise the world you often describe. I respect your views (well I dont actually, but for the sake of arguement) to equate "gay partners adopting children" with "sex with goats" is..... well, others can make up their mind.  I do not wish to be offensive.

is this an apology post blackbarn?

you don't need to say sorry - you've obviously got your own thoughts, good luck.

boxing - here in our village in rural Sussex, we probably have as many (or few) "traditional family backgrounds" as anywhere, but in our School of 200+ pupils we seem to have virtually every parent combo (mentioned on here) and it seems to work.  I am not an expert but my wife is a School Governor.

Im no party - i just no what's right & wrong.

I might be told im racist or wrong now, but i couldn't give a s**t as when the time
comes & it all goes t1ts up these scu* calling you it now won't be nowhere to be seen,

they'll be begging we always thought well of you please don't cut our heads off

Blackburn, that's good to know, but after 50 years living in london and now the living in the Midlands, sadly I would expect the situation of your village is the exception rather than the rule. My concern is for the adopted child and not the life choice of the 'parents'.
