So all lesbians hate blokes?
Gee did not know that!
My brother is a lesbian, me too, we only like women.
Brother has wed far too many.
Has kids from two relationships with him and no woman.
Evil? kids do not think so.
Rather two males or females than unfit parents or some people from any church.
Still, gives us a chance to show concern about another group, another *them*

Lexi….

I think you may be lonely with your stand:

*former Children's Court magistrate Barbara Holborow yesterday called for a full inquiry into the decision to put them there. "Oh my God, what are we doing?" Ms Holborow, who has fostered eight children, said*.

And your stand supports the queer “Dykes” against the childrens welfare, Re:

*The children's story, described as one of the saddest in the state, has been revealed in a Supreme Court judgment posted last month in Children's Law news compiled by the NSW Children's Court*.

And Prue Gowards shock!
*Families Minister Pru Goward has demanded a full explanation from child welfare serviceBarnardos, which had recruited the couple*.

And finally, after forced separation from his elder sister, the infant was left alone with this queer “lot”:

*Campbell and his sister Abby, then 12, were placed with the lesbian couple in early 2009. The placement did not work out for Abby and after she was moved, Campbell was dressed in girl's clothes and his photograph placed on the couple's Facebook page*.

And what other atrocity befell the poor kid, one could only imagine!

Lexi, my friend,
Thankyou for your kind words. Many a time have I seen on TV kids who have same gender parents, they seem to enjoy having either two Mums or two Dads, cruelty to kids? never, some of these posters might not realise that kids are not judgmental, a lot of adults could take a lot of lessons from these kids. Let's face it, I was brought up in a so-called 'normal' family, and was abused by my step-father to the point that when I finally left home, I had zero confidence. So to the detractors of same sex marriages, they are probably more comfortable for the subsequent children, who will ever remain accepting of their parent's relationship.
Cheers Lexi,
NSB

Dear Dan,

I've read the Daily Telegraph link that was given
in the opening post and I stand by what I have said.
Until all the facts are in, (and Prue Goward has
issued an investigation into the matter), we don't
really know if there was an intent to abuse or embarrass,
or whether all this was simply a bit of fun.

As another reader pointed out to the newspaper -

"At age 6 there is no learned bias towards what is "normal,"
female and "normal" male. It's simply fun for them to dress
up as whoever ..."

I like to have all the facts before making judgements.

Dear Noisy,

It's so easy to pre-judge people.

The key feature of prejudice is that it's always
rooted in generalisations and so ignores the
differences among individuals. Therefore,
someone who is prejudiced against gays will tend
to have a negative attitude toward any individual
gay, in the belief that all gays share the same
supposed traits.

I'm so sorry that you had a rotten step-father.
I can't even begin to imagine what you must have gone
through. Parents are supposed to protect their
children from harm, not inflict it on them. I have met
some amazing souls on this Forum, and I just want to let you
know, you're one of them.

Take care.

NSB, from my post why you would think that I have an issue with homosexuals is beyond me. I was at the first Gay Mardigras in Sydney; I watched the cops assault and arrest the Gay Rights protesters. I was a teen during the gay revolution that seen Taylor Square and Oxford Street ( five minutes walk from where I was conceived born and lived for 20 years) turn into the gay icon for Oceania. While at school I worked Thursday nights and Saturday morning at the local Flemings in Taylor Square. We shared a loading dock with Capricious, probably the first openly gay night club in Sydney, David who moved the empty bottles from inside the club to the back dock was always trying to crack onto me, but I grew up with it, it does not faze me and I have no issues with homosexuals who did not make a lifestyle choice but were born to it. Given all that NSB I would surmise that the long term inter personal relationship you have had with homosexuals pales to my life experience.

Did you not read this from my post?

"Re the dykes, they have all the rights that a heterosexual couple has, and like heterosexuals there are those with competent parenting skills and those with lifestyles and ideas that are dangerous and damaging to the child."

I make it abundantly obvious that my issue with THIS couple is one of IDENTITY, and it has not yet been resolved. I don't give a bugger if a couple is hetro, homo, or bestial, as long as no imminent or ongoing possible danger comes to a child left in the care of the couple.

NSB just because this couple is gay it does not mean they are free from scrutiny, especially when children are involved.
