"" ...the homosexual marriage lobby groups are after the children."
Posted by vanna, Thursday, 25 August 2011 8:12:32 AM

Besides, the paranoia of that assertion, do you really think 1-2% of the population are after the children or numerically able to?
..................

"They are also trying to portray homosexuality as being better than heterosexuality"

They essentially just want the stigmatising to stop. Nothing more.
.................

"and now trying to say that children of homosexual parents are better than children of heterosexual parents.""

More paranoia. Given the increasing failings of heterosexual parenting, children of homosexual parents may be better off in the near future.
.................

"In essence, they are trying to portray homosexuality as being "the new normal”."
.

No they just want the stigmatising to stop.

"the homosexual marriage lobby groups are after the children"

Yes McReal, I spotted this one too and was horrified. It's clear some people will say, do or believe anything in order to further their cause.

And their cause is simply to exclude.

Women were excluded from voting and serving on juries for many years.

As were Aboriginals.

And I'll bet they could quote you a few lines from their little book of rules that justified these positions.

Times have changed, and they'll surely change again.

McReal and Mr Grumpy,
I can’t remember seeing much written by a homosexual that says something positive about heterosexual marriage, even though they talk about “equality in marriage”, and this article does attempt to say that children of homosexual couples do better than children of heterosexual couples.

It does remind me of articles written by feminists that do not say one good thing about male gender, even though they talk about “equality between the genders”, and I think more and more people can now see through the hypocrisy of feminism.

Homosexuals can have de facto relationships, but my guess is that they want marriage so as to legitimise homosexuality and make it easier to recruit.

vanna,
so what? Expecting "a" homosexual or "a" female writer (feminist?) to write something to appease you suggests you are a follower of authority, or a seeker of isolated, disconnected literature.

Homosexuals and women have been put-down and bullied by men - by individuals and systematically - for eternity. Most of their writings in recent decades reflect that.

Get this: there is a spectrum of sexuality, including a spectrum of the physical characteristics of sexuality, such as intersexes (hermaphrodites), but most people are either heterosexual male or heterosexual female. Some might say God created each individual within that spectrum. You denigrate heterosexuals by implying they are easily recruited to homosexuality. You denigrate homosexuals by saying they want to recruit.
