Gay parents of quads have separated; court records show dispute

"I also know gay men who are in monogamous long-term relationships. One couple I know has little to do with 'mainstream' gay culture, because it is so unhealthy."

Want an eye-opener? Pay a 14 year old boy to come on to one of them sometime.

"I have trouble reconciling my understanding of the Scriptures with my friends' lifestyle, but I am willing to let them make their own moral choice -- we will all stand before God in the end."

Friends don't let friends condemn themselves to Hell. Rebuking sinners is one of the seven spiritual acts of mercy.

"Verity is simply engaging in the slave trade with her own body and her progeny. That's sick and oughtn't be legal.

My gawd, do you suppose she was breeding babies for the money?

[Hildy]

That's a funny joke. I think the Gay men who have been together for a long time, like my friends, were Gay before it was fashionable and really had to go through a lot of crap. You're right though, the ones who have been together for a long time are quiet about it because it truly is their business, not mine. I agree with you.

I was wrong - it was quadruplets, not quints. But the point is the same. And if was in vitro, eh? Sick drama, all around. To bring children into the world for those purposes is pure evil.

[Antoninus]

Last year, Verity tried unsuccessfully in Jessamine County Circuit Court to terminate her parental rights to the quadruplets. An attorney appointed by the court to represent the quadruplets said in a report that Verity should remain their legal mother. The attorney's report said the babies need a mother and a father. It disagreed with Verity's decision that Meehan and Dysarz would be the quadruplets' parents. Earlier this year, Verity gave birth to Dysarz's biological child. She said she entered into another in-vitro pregnancy so that all the children could be biological siblings.

This is a very sick world we live in...

Phelps is a faux-minister who hides behind religion to propagate hate.

He's also a faux-hater. He's a propaganda tool of the gaystapo--the perfect straw man.

"He's a propaganda tool of the gaystapo--the perfect straw man."

That's a fascinating notion. Is there anything to back it up?

Being the non-custodial parent of five children, this woman will have rights of visitation and obligations of child support.

She certainly should be paying child support for all 5 children --- non-custodial fathers don't get to get out of that --- any parent who abuses or neglects their children should have to undergo sterilization.

[EsclavoDeCristo]

In response to Phelps' protest, some Central Kentucky residents rallied around the men and launched a counter-demonstration, Rally for a Hate-Free Lexington.

Typical PC gobble-di-gook!!! It's hateful for a Christian minister to openly disagree with the bastardization of his faith??!!??!! I'm embarrassed and disapointed in our diocese of Lexington.

Before you defend Fred Phelps, find out what he's all about. There are links upthread.

[EsclavoDeCristo]

Good call. No I had not read the previous threads about Phelps. I just went to his site and saw this picture. Not too impressed by it.

ProLife Ping!

Verity, who has three children of her own, initially agreed to conceive a child with Meehan because she thought he and Dysarz would be good parents, she has said.

Heartwarming. Stop the world I want to get off.

FYI, in vitro fertilization almost never results in high order multiples -- twins often, and in very rare cases triples. But when you see 3 or more, it's almost always the result of using fertility drugs WITHOUT in vitro fertilization. With IVF, doctors strictly limit the number of embryos transferred to the uterus -- if there are a lot of extras, they're generally frozen for future use or donation. With drugs alone, many eggs can be released, and thus many can be fertilized in utero, resulting in the high order multiples.

Someone on another thread mentioned it, but I just used deductive reasoning: Anyone using that sort of rhetoric in such a public fashion would have been shut down long ago by the Gaystapo if he were in any way effective. That the mainstream media pays so much attention to him indicates that they realize how useful he is to the homo-promo cause. Again, if he were effective, they'd either try to shut him down, or ignore him.

A brief web search also revealed that Mr. Phelps is (surprise!) a democrat who claimed at to be "liberal" back in the 1960s....

Are there any devout Catholics on this thread who wouldn't mind answering some questions I have about Catholicism via Freepmail?

Thanks!

[BlindedByTruth]

this story makes me sick man! Any surrogate parent whom nominates himself/herself to help parent children for homosexuals shall be blighted as sinners and condemned for prommelgating the homosexual agenda and bringing "orphans" to the homosexual agenda i.e little boys and girls who shall be confused and unwise to traditional families, may God forgive these wicked souls!
