Aidan is right, marriage equality does not affect the rights of children or of gay couples to have them. Lyle’s implication that children will be wrested from their parents and forcibly given to gay couples is preposterous.

Please don’t assume that ACL’s position is representative of Christian views on this matter. A lot of us support marriage equality.

The Bioethics website is of course one of the many propaganda sites run by the deeply misogynist anti-feminist opus dei.
This reference and website describes the double-minded peculiarities promoted by it. http://www.odan.org/questionable_practices.htm

As with all back-to-the-past "traditionalists" they have a deeply disturbed, even psychotic relationship or understanding of bodily existence.
Would you send your children to a school run by such deeply disturbed self-righteous people?
But then again opus dei isnt really a genuinely traditional "catholic" outfit. It has created its own self-serving independent teaching and structures apart from and separate to much/most/all of what is usually recognized as official "catholic" doctrine, and any form of real accountability to the usual "catholic" authority structures as outlined in the magisterium or canon law.

Meanwhile a senior opus dei propaganda hack is now in control of the world's largest and most powerful propaganda (lies-all-the-way-down) machine, namely that run by the Vatican - the toxic tentacles of which reach into almost every town & village on the planet. He used to run or control the Fox (faux) "news" service in New York.

This website provides the necessary means for deconstructing the double-minded lies promoted (and hidden) by this propaganda machine. Including the carefully crafted squeaky-clean media image of the new pope.

Man and woman are biologically complimentary...homosexuals are not. There is no equivalence. A homosexual relationship is no more equal than a parent and an adult child relationship. Just saying something is equal doesn't make it so. I don't know how homosexuals have been able to get away with their flawed arguments for so long.

What exactly are these people arguing for? The issue is about allowing same sex marriage. What is their problem with same-sex marriage where no children are involved? Why do they presume that marriage naturally has to lead to children? Why are they not campaigning against same sex couples who already have children but are not married? There seems a lot of inconsistency there if it really is about the welfare of the children.

@Phanto, "What exactly are these people arguing for?" Good question. I'd say they want to conflate unions of two different types of relationships under the one word "marriage" which has traditionally been used to define a special relationship between a man and a woman. They want to redefine the word "marriage" just as Gillard wanted to/did redefine the word "misogyny" from fear of women to hatred of women.

Maybe you can answer this for me: Why is pedophilia defined as a psychiatric disorder and homosexuality is not? Why can't paedohiles claim it was something they were born with and therefore its just as normal as any other physical attraction between two people including that between homosexuals?

Well...the homosexual brigade have tuned up, and are now playing in the town square.
A little out of tune and off key ...but hey ...one day they may grow up and play in the big band!
