I hope you have plenty of straws in stock as you are certainly clutching at them badly here. Equating the issues of homosexuality to the issues of explaining infertility? That's some pretty bizarre reasoning.

I'm not talking about the issues of homosexuality, I'm talking about homosexual couples who have children.

And so, once again, you have failed to demonstrate any detrimental effect that this is going to have on those children raised on homosexual parents, nor the effect it would have on society as a whole

My experience tells me the ideal scenario is for a child to have an active mother and father figure in their lives. Not 2 of either.

You seem very concerned about what you will and won`t explain to your children.

Too right, I want what I think is the best for her.

Who are you protecting?

My daughter.

You strongly give the impression is that the only people you are concerned about are those "poor" parents who are placed in the "awkward" position of having to face the realities of life.

No, I'm concerned for my daughter in case others feel it neccessary to tell her that such things are "normal". I'm not saying that thing which aren't normal are neccessarily 'bad', but I want her to know what is favourable.

NOTE: my definition of 'normal' - an event or circumstance which is shared by the majority.

And Kronas, don't you dare tell me my religious beliefs are wrong. I don't expect everyone to see the world the way I do but being confrontational enough to tell someone their religion is wrong is just the way to get people's back up. Have I EVER told you that your views on religion are wrong? Have I EVER said that to ANYONE?

I'm going to back out of this thread for a while before I do something I'll end up regretting.
