Yep the poor kids waiting to be adopted, always the children that suffer hardest due to politicians pushing whatever agenda they think makes a good soundbite, reminds me of the catholic adoption agencies shutting.

I think that this is very much a statement of the MP's own morals and beliefs rather than a scientific fact...

He did say ideally, not ban all others but them from parenthood, my view is in an ideal world a male.and female would be the best role models however until we can get an ideal world let's just try for the nicest, safest environments possible for children.
