Tom Daley and partner expecting!!

[Mister M 1,625]

The use of the word homophobe seems to be bandied about like confetti at wedding. I am just wondering if all the UK MPs who voted against same sex marriage in Parliament are homophobes? Are all the Australians who voted against same sex marriage in their referendum homophobes? Is the Burmunda Government homophobic for repealing their own same sex marriage law?

 

Why do people who make homophobic comments object to being called homophobes?

because its normal to them?

 

on the other hand, they dont have the ******** to stand by what they say, hence the myriad of fake accounts.

Gay rights gay rights gay rights!

 

What about the rights of a child to have a balanced upbringing of a mother and a father?

 

I know that some children end up with one parent due to circumstances, but that is not the same as purposefully engineering a situation where a child lacks a mother/father right from the start.

 

As for the woman that has agreed to have a child and give it away, and probably for money, she ought to be ashamed of herself.

 

Bang on ,the situation seems to be that any one who has normal carry on ,lives a normal life are now in the minority .

Every time you turn the teli on it seems as though some bloke is dressed up as a woman or talks in a daft camp voice like Frankie Howard used to put on.

We have sports presenters , M.Ps who all seem to bat for the other side no wonder kids are confused in todays World.

 

If you are gay then fair enough but why all the self publicity , just get on with it like the rest of society does .

Do you actually understand the definition of homophobic? It's not irrational to believe a child should ideally be brought up by a man and a woman.

and in the real world, how many ARE brought up by a man and a woman?

Bit late to the party with faux outrage aren't we?

Any number of reasons - they've got happy news and want to share that happiness with others (though this does seem to wind the malcontents up); and lots of straight people like the self publicity too.

Kids might be confused but why is it that people seem only to be concerned about this when gay people hit the headlines?

I enjoy reading about it,and watching people on TV dressed up as women and talking in daft camp voices,switch over if you don't like it,listen to the shipping forecast being read in a real manly voice.

It's similar to when there's no Far Right outrage when a white home grown murderer guns down innocent people

It's not irrational. From memory a child is statistically better off with a traditional family mix. But all these things are somewhere on a bell curve and whether the individual child is at any noticeable disadvantage versus their peers is much harder to ascertain.

 

Lesbian domestic violence is highest, followed by gay men couples, then lowest of all in opposite sex couples, but the incidence rate of homosexual couples adopting children is so much lower that until we're looking at third/third/third household make ups it's an edge case that's hard to get too excited about.

 

Whether you are homophobic because of a belief in male female couples being best for children is just as questionable. I'd say that there are other, much better indicators that somebody is a homophobe than this issue.

[Mister M 1,625]

Exactly. All these people dressing up their homophobia as 'concern for the children'.

Lots of children brought up by a man or woman are in less than ideal circumstances - they might not be wanted or cared for. You don't hear the sanctimonious brigade bleating on about this!

At least Tom Daley and his partner have put a lot of thought and care into the planning of their child.
