Guest   #339 Posted February 5, 2007 ...The co-author is not a researcher but a propagandist, asserted Joe Glover, president of the Family Policy Network... Given that you're so fond of pointing out possible sources of bias, is this the same Family Policy Network whose motto is 'Informing Christians and Confronting the Culture On the Important Moral Issues of the Day'?  Didn't you say in a previous post that this wasn't a religious issue?

plekhanov   10 #340 Posted February 5, 2007 You ***************** The co-author is not a researcher but a propagandist, asserted Joe Glover, president of the Family Policy Network. Glover noted that the co-author of the study, University of Virginia professor Charlotte J. Patterson, is a lesbian living with a female partner and raising three children. Plagiarising the work of homophobic groups again are we Grahame you know in the world where you aren't the only person with google it's rather stupid to do so as we can find your plagiarised text as easily as you can.  So in your world Professor Charlotte J. Patterson isn't a researcher? Maybe you should inform the University that she works at of this  She clearly references numerous peer reviewed studies in her report you can't simply handwave all that away just because you don't like the results.

plekhanov   10 #342 Posted February 5, 2007 Dont worry grahame your view is the one that the vast majority agree with,dont let the queer mafia on here put you off. Really, and what grounds do you have for accusing all those who don't oppose gay adoption of being 'queer'?  Just recently you seem to have become concerned with stoping whale hunting should I assume from this that you are in fact a whale and a member of the 'whale mafia'?

KenH Â Â 10 #343 Posted February 5, 2007 I can't see any reason why we need to treat everyone the same. Â If there is one child up for adoption and 100 couples apply then they should take all circumstances into account and give the child to the married hetrosexual couple with their own children who live on a small farm with stables. If, on the other hand, there are 100 children looking for parents and 100 applicants, then any that aren't child molesters or armed robbers will probably be better than a care home. It seems to me that two blokes, whether gay or not, won't generally be as good as a married couple, all other things being equal (which they never are) but it doesn't all have to be perfect does it?

Roy accused those who don't oppose gay adoption of being in the 'queer mafia' simply because they aren't homophobic bigots.  I responded by using the example of the whales to point out that it's rather dumb to assume people must automatically be a member of any group who's rights they stand up for. Is that reasoning really too complicated for you to understand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mr1chop   10 #348 Posted February 5, 2007 People who oppose gay adoption are quite rightly 'branded as homophobes' as there are no reasons other than homophobia to oppose it.  That is your opinion not a majority opinion, I am unsure on where I stand on the subject but I would need proof that this kind of family would not hurt the child or that it would before I could wade in. Not being a Homophobe of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
