Doctors should stick with majority : Comments

By Robert Battisti, published 16/5/2012

Doctors for the Family is wrong to go against the medical professional organisations that recognise the validity of same sex relationships for children.

Speaking of the family, and particularly the nuclear family which is championed by so called conservatives, there is a very interesting essay on family and child raising on the Age website this morning by George Monbiot. It is titled Truth Is the Forgotten Family Virtue.

It completely shreds the various mythologies re the supposed norm and preciousness of the exclusive nuclear family.

- Robert, why can't the gay community be happy that they can co-habit as they choose?
- Why do they have to force their agenda on the 90% of folk who are heterosexual?
- Why do they have to bring innocent children into their relationships?
- Why do they continue to use shreds of so-called evidence to support their demands that they make wonderful parents?
- Why are they destroying the meaning of the word 'marriage'?
- Why are they attacking doctors who hold a different view?

Robert, if two men or two women want to live together, who cares. It's no big deal anymore. Let's leave it at that, eh!

I agree with Daffy Duck on George Monbiot's article. For those interested, it can be found at http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/truth-is-the-forgotten-family-value-20120515-1youb.html
It's high time we passed this legislation and got it off the agenda. The ongoing debate is doing more to divide us than passing an enabling law ever will.
There's an old adage that applies here. It goes something like, It doesn't matter what you do as long as you don't do it in the road and scare the horses.
As long as they are loved and nurtured, any children involved will be fine.
Let's move on.

'What is most concerning is that the group is implying that same-sex marriage will "normalise" homosexual behaviour, thereby increasing health risks.'

Anyone with half a brain knows that kids mimmick their parents in all sorts of ways including sexual preference. Why do you think so many swap from homo/lesbian to straight. It is idiotic to deny that this is a lifestyle choice for many.

Runner, if you stop and reflect for a moment you should realise that homosexuals come from the union of two heterosexuals who generally are the ones who nurture them. If your argument was true, then there would be no homosexuals.

Mr Battisti may not realise it but his whole rant is an attack on free speech. I may or may not agree with the “Doctors for the Family” that is not the issue. However they have every right to express their opinion. That is the issue!

The Battisti article is an outrageous attack on free speech. Following the arguments of the late Karl Popper, the intolerance displayed in this paper places the author among the enemies of the open society.

One other thing, what is the consequence of so called gay marriage? A pair of homosexuals-big deal!
