In The Headlong Rush For 'Rights’, Children Are An Afterthought

In The Headlong Rush For 'Rights’, Children Are An Afterthought Traditional views of parenthood are being drowned out by a form of gay rights sharia

By Charles Moore

21 Mar 2015 It is a cunning feature of general elections, designed by the parties who compete in them, that most issues which matter cannot be discussed. Today I want to write about children.

The word “children” – or, more likely, “kids” – is seldom off the lips of politicians (“our children’s future”, “We all want to do what’s best for our kids”). There are innumerable policies about child care, schools, child benefit, and so on. I mean something else: who do we think children are?

This week began with the spat between two famous gay couples, Elton John and David Furnish, and Dolce and Gabbana, the fashion designers. The former bring up two children, produced by a surrogate mother. Dolce doesn’t like such things. He spoke, not intending any personal attack on Sir Elton, of “the children of chemistry”. He said that every child should have a mother and a father.

Sir Elton denounced him and called for a boycott of his products. After a couple of days, of course, Dolce was forced to make a public semi-retraction. It wasn’t his fault that he’d said such things, he suggested: it was the primitive Sicilian way he had been brought up.

Homosexuals buy children so they can appear to be normal. Their children will never be normal, but because homosexuals are selfish to the core, they don’t care.

They may not be normal, as you suggest?I saw an article about grown children of gay parents and if iI recall correctly, they are more likely to marry the opposite sex and be more conservative politically.

Ironic because the whole child support Islamic like justice victimizing men is justified with ‘Its for the kids’, which its not.

Its just privatized mandated welfare for women who get pregnant,

A while back I went on a fact seeking mission because I wanted to know the truth of it - what actually happens to the children forced to play the role of son or daughter in these unnaturally occurring families.

I have seen articles probably similar to the one you mention, but I wanted the counter viewpoint that I knew was out there somewhere. I felt that the everything-is-perfect nature of the pro-gay articles was likely covering something up.

Counter viewpoint information is indeed hard to find, but it is there if you know the keywords to type in. After finding the sites I was looking for, I have read many, many accounts of adult children raised by homosexuals, all written in their own words, and I have learned that homosexuals raising kids is a form of mental and psychological child abuse. Even most of the adult children who say they loved these parent figures deeply admit that the environment is a bad one for raising kids and they advise against it.

I think that a law needs to be enacted that all children should have the name of there genetic parents on the birth certificate and in cases where the father is unknown that the birth certificate will be amended when it is discovered.
