Can you please answer the question you were asked.

What harm do you believe only gay parents (adoptive or biological) will do to children that renders them, en mass, unsuitable?

A bit like saying "gays are second class citizens because they can't marry"

Unless you can prove (should not be hard actually) the insinuation that you are making, I suggest to stop and get back to the issues

That's very easy to prove.
Can you get married to the one you love? No!
Can the heterosexual couple get married? Yes!

So children of single parents or children of existing same sex couples are currently not receiving the level of care and love that those of a married heterosexual couple will offer? Is that what you're trying to say?

Chandler: 10.5 sex partners
Ross: 14 sex partners
Monica: 14.5 sex partners
Rachel: 15.5 sex partners
Phoebe: 32.5 sex partners
Joey: 51.5 sex partners

Joey is a slut I guess kinda but the rest is pretty normal for a period of ten years, even joey's is only 5 partners per year when you avg it out.

My gay friends pretty much have sex with a different guy each weekend.

So you have slutty friends some of them gay. Cool for you. Most of my "friends" are straight married housewife's most of whom have sex with more than one guy a weekend.

What's your point in relation to same sex marriage on this or anything else that you posted this morning week. ?

You are free to your opinion and your right to say it. But you would be wrong

Are they in a polygamous relationship but not allowed to be married to all the men they want too? Pity marraige equality won't cover their relationship and allow them to marry.

I hear they won't give their kids a good smack when they're bold.

No they are just the common enough household cheating wifes. The catholic married types.

Before anyone asks No I don't have link on the rates of Adultery for Ireland It's just happens to be the case of wifes I know/have as friends.

Don't be so evasive. You've put enough of your free time into the thread. Have you made your views on the referendum known to your gay friends?

I don't smack my kids. I'm hoping to turn them homosexual. It's part of the gay agenda…

You should tell the husbands but this is why you are foolish to marry in this day in age, they can say goodbye to half their stuff soon enough and end up paying maintance.

Although once gays start to get divorce courts might actually have to think for once rather then give it all to the women even if she is the cheating one.

Moving away (again) fro the basic issue being debated here (the yes or no right of LGBT couples to civilly marry here in our country) these questions for you:

1. if the availability was not there, would you still state it is your opinion that gay couples should not be allowed adopt children?

2.. In line with your opinion, would you take the step of taking adopted children currently with gay couples away from the couples, to ensure the children are placed with opposite-sex couples?

3... Would you overturn existing decision of the adoption board as to whom are fit parents?

Remember that it is the adoption board which decides who are, and are not, fit to be adoptive parents.

Good point there. With no male/female bias re parenting and incomes, such disputes would be interesting to watch.

I think you are going to the wrong bars. I've never seen or experienced negative towards straight people in gay bars. Quite the opposite in fact.
