User was banned for this post. I find it quite laughable to ban this guy for stating his opinion. People are entitled to their opinion and anyone who actually believes in the bible and sodom and gomora would be against this, but I guess you could just ban all Christians who actually believe in this, seeing as their opinions aren't politically correct or valid according to you. Personally, I'm for homosexual marriage but am against ALL kinds of homosexual adoption and impregnation operations. I think children are entitled to a mother and a father, not uncle Bob and uncle Ted. Why? It's a simple question. Do you think single mothers and single fathers can't raise children? Why do you think that having two dads or two moms would have any kind of issue? It's a blatantly sexist argument that has no basis in reality. There is no indication that same-sex parents would be any worse than hetero-parents. Reality matters. You don't just get to say "But but but you need a mother and father! That's the way it's supposed to be!" without any evidence. I don't think single parenting is in anyway the ideal for children for me, the ideal is having a mum and a dad. It's in no way 'sexist' as you state, I simply believe women and men are different and have different skills and perspectives on life and can pass these on to their children and enlighten them. Secondly, I believe if you're in a same-sex relationship or marriage, you're exposing your child to bullying and denying your child of having a father or a mother. An extra aunt or uncle simply isn't a substitute. I'm well aware that I could never be a substitute for my wife when we raise children because A: I cannot feed the child 'literally'. B: I don't have the same emotional side that she has and have not grown up learning the same things that she has. C: I cannot carry a child in my stomach, maybe if I did a 'Junior' I might be able to but otherwise not =_=. D: It's confusing for a child seeing all the other children have a mum and a dad and themselves not having one. It's also confusing to see your either your father try to play the woman role or your mother trying to play man role. It's simply people pretending to be something they're not. E: Same sex couples are incapable of having children together naturally, why should they be allowed to? I think it's completely and utterly wrong.
I don't agree.
It isn't worth talking to peps over the internet about it, but there is no study that proves you right and thus your argument is only your opinion; Not facts.
I am not at easy with the thought of single sex parenting, mostly because I think the parents will be perhaps abit overzealos about their rights making the children less inclined to learn about the world themselves... but this is a problem for most parents and especially fundamentalists and religious people so I can't really object to any parenting.

I don't even see why this is an issue. The government aims to separate religion and state, therefore their view on marriage should be purely a union for support, both financial and emotional.
Given this, why is it different for two blokes or two women to get married?
Hypothetical:
If I was pretty good mates with a guy, living together for a while, and sharing resources, raising a kid in the same house, regardless of sexual activity, I would expect us to be able to declare ourselves as co-dependent for financial status of a married couple.
That's the thing though, you already can. That's why I feel the whole thing is a little overblown. What the current argument is about is whether you and your mate can decide to get married and call it marriage. All the co-dependence legislation is already in place and has been for a while. Gay couples are treated the same under the law, practically, they're just called something else.
EDIT: As an addenum to that, to my knowledge the co-dependence legislation is currently automatic. If I and one other dude co-habitate for a certain period of time, the government starts to define us as being in a de-facto relationship even if we're straight and just rooming together out of convenience, which is pretty silly. I'd be happy for someone to tell me I'm wrong here, by the way, but that's my understanding.
In that sense I totally agree that gay marriage should be better defined, as the half-half we have at the moment really isn't the best option for anyone.

There are women who never develop into being fertile and there are men who are sterile their whole life.
Do these people not deserve children? Naturally, they cannot have children but they are still heterosexual so where is your opinion on this?
Also, just because something is natural doesn't make it better, this was discussed in the thread.
After all, murder is natural.

Where did I ever write that? You people are just putting words in my mouth because you want to make me out to be some kind of hypocrite. A woman being unable to have a child due to a defect in her body is sad and I'm all for her having an operation that would solve it or allowing her to adopt. With gay couples I'm against it and I wrote why in my earlier post. Why are you comparing gay women to women with defects in their body, does it make any sense at all?
If you people don't have a leg to stand on in an argument, you just twist peoples words, it's a joke.

I read this story this morning and from what I read it was more of a decision to vote on it in the labour party and then see where it went. Unfortunately I don't think anything will happy with all the conservatives politicians out there

..... There?
You say you're fine with a woman having an operation (which is unnatural) but not gays.
Do you think IVF treatment should be outlawed too?

Why shouldn't they be allowed to, because it's not natural? I hope you're disgusted with people with glasses seeing as naturally they shouldn't be able to see that well. What is wrong with having two mothers or two fathers, if they're loving parents it should make no difference.

Are you serious?
You stated that the REASON YOU WERE AGAINST GAYS RAISING CHILDREN WAS:
"Because they are incapable of having children together naturally"
So if a heterosexual couple can't have children naturally, do you think they have no right to raise a child?
