Marriage redefinition and Childrens rights

In fairness Links, by their logic, as transgender, you should be the perfect parent.

Ah I think they'd be afraid that I'd warp any kids I might have, probably raise them on a steady diet of Star Trek and Ghibli, or they might be right to worry, what if my taste in music rubs off on them? What then? :eek:

I heard Michael Martin say that Finn Fail are in favour of gay marriage(yesterday ardeche). Fine Fail are becoming a good party & I think they have mended their ways. This is yet another example of how they are a politically fashion forward thinking party.

Homosexuals are people too! Go Fine Fail

LookingFor

I'd appreciate hearing one No campaigner articulate how a No vote will pragmatically improve any child's circumstances in this country before claiming a monopoly on concern for the welfare of children.

Believe me, I've thought long and hard about kids here. I've put this question to three no campaigners and have never had a straight answer. It's as if they haven't actually thought about this! The most common answer I get is 'it will vindicate the right to a mother and father' - a statement that typically precedes acceptance that if the referendum fails, it would not be in the interest of any child to be taken away from their gay parents to be given to a mother and father.

This referendum is not about one group's ideals. It's not a referendum on who has kids. As far as kids go, it's simply about whether we want to give the option of first class legal status and protection in this country to only some two parent households or to more. The argument for withholding status as a means of deterrence is an argument for throwing some families under the constitutional bus. Because yes or no, there will always be kids being raised by same sex parents.

What's your point?

I'm genuinely curious, are you suggesting that because Fianna Fail are backing marriage equality that all is suddenly forgiven?

So because Fianna Fail are in favour of a YES vote, you're going to vote NO?

I've been trying my best to follow all the assorted arguments about marriage and gays but I've become a bit confused as most of the talk seems to be about children and how married gays will affect children.

Does this mean that if gay marriage becomes law, as a gay, I'm going to be allocated one? Will it be compulsory for gays to have children? If so, I'm voting no. I'm perfectly happy with the cat and the dog and my walls don't wipe clean.

Does my having the grand kids for a night and most of a day twice a month count towards my allocation cos honestly, I'm so over the whole child rearing lark and I have 5 dogs like and they take priority now...

Um, yes. That's exactly it. I was all aboard the yes train, but as soon as someone I don't like said they supported yes, I was all like ah **** it I'm voting now just to spite them. Totally.

That's the least of your problems, you're going to have to take up loud sodomy as well.

I like your priorities. I fecked up on the children part of that, but in fairness they were worth it. However, my walls aren't delighted with them. Or floors. Or soft furnishings. Or ears, head-space, TV choice, etc.

The usual.

Does your child refer to others as comrade? Does your child refer to the country as the motherland? Does you child wish to see privately owned business be owned by the state instead?

If you answered yes to any of these questions your child may be gay.

You have received a warning! Not all homosexuals undergo that act!

However, it will be law that any homo couple who adopt kids will have to do their sodomy quietly... so they don't leave a mark on the kids!!!!

I love the way the No voters think.

Hetero couple who have kids and one turns out to be gay - no issue
Gay couple who have kids and one turns out to be gay - child hadn't a chance

What the hell is wrong with being gay anyway? If a child discovers that they are gay - the result is they are gay. It's not a choice. A hetero couple can't make their kids hetero, a gay couple can't make their kids gay.

Even if they could - what's the issue?

Gays will take over and it will be the end of the human race as we know it. Obviously. Duh. Get with it!

If you had all been paying more attention to the Liberal Agenda (I have my copy right here) you'd know what was going on. Marxism, spread using Anti-family, cultural marxist ray guns.

A member of the PC Master Brigade told me so.

Possibly because he is willingly allowing himself to be used as a 'Vote No because not all gays want to get married' poster boy. Annnd... not many straight people will say it's ok to beat someone up for being straight... which is frankly a very 'odd' way of looking at the world. Some would say it contains an element of self-hatred but I am sticking with 'odd'...

If you listened to the gay campaigning for a No Vote (a quick google makes me think she's talking about Keith Mills) talking on the Late Late Show two years ago then you would have realised that gay marriage is a non-runner but obviously you missed him so we're all doomed!!!
