Suddenly high profile gays such as Dolce and Gabbana are speaking up for children’s rights to be raised by their mother and father.

Stone age views belong in the stone age. Christians need to focus on pain and misery they have caused and are causing, and let the rest of us live our lives in freedom and peace.

Where was your care for the children when you covered up the rapes and molestation?

'Stone age views belong in the stone age.' thats exactly why we should stop promoting perversion. Rome found out the hard way.

Well yes, it ought to be all about the kids!

Particularly those millions wasting their young lives away in orphanages around the world, or worse in completely dysfunctional homes where there is a mum and a dad!

Better those kids be given a voice and asked if they'd rather be raised in an environment that loves them and respects the rights of the child!

Heterosexual couples that just get together for a good time, may find themselves in charge of a few unwanted kids. And don't the kids know it! And every day of their childhood!

Or find they really have nothing in common and go their separate ways! Around 40% of Australian families? So much for the input of a dad!

Of course it would be ideal to be raised in the bosom of a loving family, where the dad's role is recognized and respected, rather than being treated with ribald scorn or trivialized!

And if DNA testing were made mandatory before child support could be claimed, how many of those claims would fail?

Better the child, particularly those unwanted ones, could be raised in a single sex family that really wanted them, and provided every advantage!

Even so, marriage is just a word, which could just as easily be replaced by the wedding act, for the purpose of same sex unions.

We simply cannot discriminate because people are born left handed or different!

And given that difference is biological rather than choice, why must we deny them what we take for granted as our own birthright!

Get past the semantics and the contrived schism; and just get it done! Rhrosty.

It's simply not true that "Legislating a new definition of marriage requires children to forfeit a parent". And it's the association of opposition to gay marriage with these bogus arguments that make changing the definition of marriage seem inevitable!

This isn't about how children relate to their parents, it's about how adults relate to each other and how society views that. It's about whether we collectively believe that spending the rest of your life with someone of the opposite sex is no better than spending it with someone of the same sex. You should be making an effort to counteract the Politically Correct view of the word (that people are either straight or gay). Instead by your illogical and sometimes even hateful claims, you have advanced it.

ACL and other groups muted voices in regard to our unnecessarily adversarial Family Law and Child support schemes makes a mockery of their claims that opposition to same sex marriage is mostly about the rights of the children to have both parents playing meaning full roles in the children's lives.

While ACL are not speaking up strongly about systems that provide often significant financial gains to one parent to isolate children from the other parent following a breakup of the parents relationship I take their commentary on the interests and rights of children in the same sex marriage debate as dishonest spin rather than any heartfelt interest in ensuring that children are raised in the best of situations.
