Tom Daley and partner expecting!!

[I1L2T3 10]

I dont think its right for people to sell their bodies for money, its like prostitution, its morally wrong but it cannot be stopped when all the parties concerned are willing.

 

That’s one view and I respect it.

 

The law is often deficient in covering moral angles, but it can only go so far.

 

Not sure I would class surrogacy as prostitution though.

We are buying a baby,why not tell the truth.

 

That is most likely the biological child of one of the couple who will parent it.

people are being uppity about language because hes gay

 

Some people seem to care about punctuation, grammar even more so. I am sure many woman have been described as 'expecting'.

[Mister M 1,625]

in the traditional sense, the dictionary sense

 

WE are expecting a baby..........ie:- the storks going to drop a baby for us, NOT that one is going to be pregnant.

Like i said earlier (which seems to get ignored) you can say im expecting the gasman, doesnt mean im going to give birth to one.

Interesting that those posters who are getting uppity about Tom Daley & his partner's use of the term 'expecting', aren't so exact when it comes to their own spelling, punctuation or grammar.

Another case of 'do as I say, not as I do'.

Perhaps we'll eventually get on to complaints that the word gay used to be such a lovely and innocent word, before the homosexualists stole it, and corrupted its usage.

I don't think it's that,we were discussing yesterday and must say the gay guys I have met come over as nice kind people,I think not having mum is what he means it's hard without one mark my words.

Have you got any evidence that being raised by two dads or two mums results in worse outcomes for children?

 

Or any evidence about relationship breakdown in same sex couples verses male & female couples?

 

Or any evidence about income levels of same sex against male & female couples?

 

If so please produce it. If you can prove there’s a point I’m going to agree with you.

 

If you don’t have it stop guessing based on prejudice.

It's your parents I feel sorry for.

 

You are a great advertisement for contraception

[Lockdoctor 10]

I agree. Nobody chooses to be born let alone chooses to be brought up by two men rather than a normal man and woman relationship. These two men are selfish people.

 

I can understand same sex couples being given the custody of a child, if one of the couple is either the father or mother as a consequence of a past genuine normal heterosexual relationship, which has ended for whatever reasons. In my opinion same sex couples should not be allowed to adopt children or use surrogacy to obtain a child. A child should be brought up by a man and a woman.

[blackydog 40]

No, it's the fact they are a gay couple that has got people looking for reasons to be upset. Let's at least be honest here.

 

If I'm honest I'm uncomfortable with the idea of two gay men bringing up a child but I'm not "upset" about it.

When my wife was pregnant I never said I'm expecting a baby.

Don't have a problem with gays particularly, although I'm glad I'm not one of them.

Although in the main I agree with you, could i push and ask why?
