the child doesn't have a choice.
 

discuss.

On what?

They don't have a choice in heterosexual adoptions either so point invalid really :shrug:

maybe thats his view on adoption in general.

I'm sure Kristina will be a great mum

They have even less choice about being born to idiots like that.

As far as I know, adopted children can be rehomed if the placement doesn't work out, so they have MORE choice than those with biological parents!

He probably thinks that life for the child could be hell due to bullying etc.

It was a really daft thing to say, all round.

Yeah, maybe not

No child has a choice on who it's parents are biological or adopted

I know the school I work at isn't EVERY school, but I know of two kids with gay parents, and they don't get bullied for it.

I agree with Winston. I'm sure all the homophobic babies out there are glad that their case is being fought for.

yeah that's how i took it.:shrug:

Doubt it.

:laugh:

Desperately clutching at straws to try and justify his homophobia. Idiotic statement so not much to discuss really

Came in here to say just that. :thumbs:

:joker:

#justice4homophobicbabies

Technically I did though, I got rid of the horrid adoptive parents and kept the nice ones ha :)

I chose the rich ones, got to think of my future.

One couple house smelt when I went round, so I got rid.

What is there to discuss? There's no justification for saying that the child doesn't have a choice. No child has a choice in any parent decision - biological or not. Winston is a vile homophobic UKIP candidate who was gripping at straws to try and explain his comments.

true.

That was his opinion like any other opinion. Come on. He is Christian, gay couples are against his religion and he's not supporting adoptions by homosexual couples. Opinion and views like any others. Give him a break.

If you feel that a child should have the love of a mother and the guidance of a father in the traditional family way, then Winston is right.

If however you feel the kid does not need these traditional values, then he is wrong.

2 different views but any kid brought up in a male dominated environment will have to run the gauntlet of kids at school who are not as forgiving as our PC society and might find they have gender issues which they might follow just to please their adopted parents.

Personally I believe in the sanctity of the traditional marriage and family life, but that's the way I was brought up.

Because mums can't offer guidance and fathers can't offer love I suppose.

I also believe that the ideal enviroment for a child is a mum and dad.A balanced upbringing and view of the world.

I believe a child needs love, stability and interest

:umm2: How do you explain that some Christians support gay couples adopting? People who use religion to justify their homophobia are cowards. He has his own mind to form his views so blaming the bible isn't an excuse. And saying it's 'child abuse' isn't simply 'not supporting' it. It's a hateful thing to say.

There are certain qualities that a mother brings to the table that a man just can't do as well and vice versa.Kids need both imo for a balanced upbringing.

Like what? And do you know any kids who have been brought up by same sex parents that have turned out unbalanced?

If I died in the morning I would be 100% confident that my husband could give my kids everything they need

I'm sure he could do an excellent job just as i'd hope i could but i know that they also need their mums love in the perfect enviroment.Women are just better at certain things imo.My kids run straight to their mum if they hurt themself for comfort but come to me for other things like if they're scared.Things like that.

No but plenty with single mothers.Men and women both have things they're better at.

what he said made no sense, the child don't get a choice with straight couples either.. so it's no different to a gay couple.. so he is an idiot

He's just a bigoted idiot that was desperately trying to hide it.

The child doesn't have a ****ing choice in anything anyway

Children dont ever get a choice in who their parents are, it was a bizarre way of trying to justify his views :umm2:

i wonder what % of gay couples only adopt a child of the same sex? anyone got figures?

Does that sort of thing get tracked?

And why do you wonder?

genuinely curious :laugh:

things like that interest me.:blush:
