Aibu to think people who would rather a child stay in foster care rather than be adopted by gays have real issues are there hatred of gays is more important than a child's well being

Following on from this idiot judge to was quite rightly removed for allowing his personal feeling on gay adoption rather than applying the law

Listing to the bbc London and so many people Felt a child was better off in care

As an adopter myself this is not a issue of gay vs straight couple it's a issue of gay vs a life in care with many moves

And tbh if straight parents were that fab the children wouldn't be in care all the children we fostered came from straight parents

I just wonder if these people could aculoy look a child in the face and say there is a gay couple who wants you but I think it best yu stay in care for your natrual born Shock with a straight face

Also they don't factor in for some children who have been abused by say men two women would be ideal for that child ect

Shall we have a sweep stake on how long it takes ebony to respond to the many posts pointing out that homosexuality occurs all of the animal kingdom and is therefore fully enshrined as a natural activity?

I personally suspect the selective blindness to that fact will be long lived...possibly permanent.

I do not think a white couple should be able to adopt a black child if the couple in question live in a white neighbourhood. And vice versa. We have totally different cultures.

Devora · 13/03/2016 23:07

But why do you keep saying that homosexuals can't procreate, Ebony? They clearly can. I have. The social norms about raising children with the other gamete-contributor are just social norms, not biological imperative.
Both my kids were conceived with a sperm and an egg, like everyone else. They just went on to live within a family unit that is in many ways not the social norm.

I am not 'the poster'. I have a name.

You have consistently been ignoring me and yet go on to spout more bile about gay people being deviant, promiscuous and inflicting psychological harm on their children.

How do you sleep at night?

Why should Ebony be banned? He/she has only stated their own opinions whether we agree with them or not.
Ebony has not once been rude or aggressive. I think most of you on here should take a leaf out of his/hers book and debate with some grace.
You are all like a bunch of childish vipers.
Also I do think gays should foster/adopt.
Please all debate and not be abusive and aggressive.

Christ, have I wandered in to 1950??

BIWI · 13/03/2016 23:08

velvet - you don't think Ebony has been rude?!

Do you know the meaning of the word?!

EbonyDanny · 13/03/2016 23:08

Animals have been observed to show homosexual tendancies. They have not been shown to pro-create, Or show human intelligence.

IceBeing · 13/03/2016 23:10

So how can homosexuality be unnatural and deviant if it occurs in NATURE?

TealLove · 13/03/2016 23:10

I also think people piling in on Ebony. I don't agree with her views but she has the right to say them and some of the attacks on her are pretty personal. Just saying.

VioletEffingham · 13/03/2016 23:10

homosexual promiscuous behaviour as a contributing factor to them being removed from their mother.
Yeah, right.

NewLife4Me · 13/03/2016 23:10

The bigots have a strong argument to the old traditionalists though.
I still can't believe that I questioned it too.
I soon found the answer, but just the thought of it now sounds so absurd.

I think as a society we need to remember "In the interests of the child"
It's not about the parents, so why are they the first thing to question.

We need to ask what a particular child needs, the best environment etc.

BIWI · 13/03/2016 23:11

I'm on my phone now, which I don't normally use to post. Can someone tell me how to report a post?

EbonyDanny · 13/03/2016 23:11

VelvetCushion Thank you.You seem to be alone in your reasonability though!

IceBeing · 13/03/2016 23:11

Also...did you just say animals don't procreate? Animals, like humans, engage in homosexuality AND heterosexuality at different times in order to procreate.

ghostyslovesheep · 13/03/2016 23:12

I'll always stand up to bigots - I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't - I am not being mean but I wont shut up and ignore homophobia

ebony probably thinks it only occurs in animals because they have come into contact with gay humans and been corrupted. Ergo if an innocent herd of herbivores can catch gay then it follows a lac would be even more vulnerable to those contagious deviant germs.

EbonyDanny · 13/03/2016 23:15

What 'bile' am I expressing? ......oh yes, the opinion different to your own.

Learn to debate.

ghostyslovesheep · 13/03/2016 23:15

now now - we are supposed to be kind and accepting of people who express such damaging views - because that will make it all go away Hmm

I think a lot of posters have been aggressive because they dont agree with Ebony and think she/he is out of touch with the times. Fair enough this is 2016. I cant see the issue re gays adopting etc. I think its touched a nerve with you for personal reasons. I get that. But it does not mean Ebony has to agree with this post or everyone on it. Think you all should calm down. She/her has not used any homophobic language. Ok she said deviant which is over the top. Dont agree with that. But im sure many people think kids should be with heterosexual family if,the truth be known. Thats not my opinion by the way
