of course the kids come last in order the gratify the selfishness of a small minority who are sickening in their deceit in gaining the sympathy vote.

runner,

"...sickening in their deceit..."

Which "deceit" is that, runner?

Or was it a case of merely opening "Runner's Book of Vile Epithets and Intolerance" at a random page....?

D is for Deceit.

Got to keep up the daily quota.

Poirot I was pleased to see runner lashing out at the christian homophobes who use the think of the children call as a cover for their own intollerance. The wellbeing of the children are the last thing on their minds (as with most who hide behind children to push their own agendas).

Ok I may have used a little deceipt in suggesting that wasmrunners intent but it was fun and I doubt anyone would take the suggestion of runner attacking christain deceipt seriously.

Just wondering which "conservative Presbyterian denomination in...Scotland" you are referring to?

Presumably you are aware that there is more than one presbyterian denomination in Scotland, and even more than one "conservative" denomination. But your unsupported reference sounds like rubbish to me.

an encouraging article - I hope Alan is right

it's sad that the churches are likely to be the last major institution to recognise gay equality, but ut will happen eventually

Poiret

did u read the article?

'For example, Uganda's anti-homosexuality legislation – popularly known as the Kill the Gays Bill – is strongly backed by U.S. evangelicals.'

Funny out of the thousands of evangelicals that I have met not one has called or condoned the death penalty for gays. Do you know some Poiret or will you find some small sect and try and use that to represent all evangelicals as the deceitful author has.

Start looking for that sect Poiret in an effort to confirm your Christophobic bent.

You would be the first to complain if Craig Thomson was used as an example of someone representing the union movement but I am sure you will find an obscure 'Çhristian' group if you try hard enough.
