What does a child call its "surrogate" same sex "parents?" Daddy 1 and Daddy 2? How will such a child be treated by its peers in the schoolyard? Inevitably it will lead to taunting,bullying,abuse,and quite possibly suicide.

Also how will a child reared in such a relationship feel when he or she grows up? Bringing home a partner (opposite sex?) to meet the "parents?". Having mummy 1 and mummy 2 come along and watch the child in School plays,in the school football team?

The whole scenario is bizarre,and personally I would much prefer the orphanage.

Or the end of the Universe?

Are you aware that many children already have two Dads? Or two mothers?

People have re-married in the past you know?

Step-mothers and step-fathers aren't banned in Genesis or Exodus are they?

I'm not sure the other orphans would be best pleased.

I can't see too many willing to adopt you, so don't stress.

As for the rest of your post, the number of people with your attitude is ever decreasing, therefore the likelihood of bullying, abuse etc. should be ever decreasing. If there is bullying and abuse, then focus on the parents of the children doing the bullying.

And children who grow up in a same sex home are unlikely to consider it bizarre (it will be their 'normal'), so they're unlikely to be any more anxious about bring a partner home than the rest of us.

Your concern for children in this situation is quite "bizarre", given your lack of concern for them in more grave situations of abuse.

T Fearon

It is not trolling or being vile,merely stating an obvious fact

Oraisteach

If I favored the No position, I'd be embarrassed to be associated with your statement and that of David Quinn.

There is no evidence or study that concludes that children being raised by same sex couples are more prone to suicide. If you have it, produce it. The only obvious fact to be gleaned from your post is that, as a self-professed "Christian", you have no idea of how to behave like one.

I know you are only doing it for your own pleasure Tony, but activities like that should be kept to yourself. Or did the priests not tell you that?

Being raised by two fathers or two mothers is a bizarre proposition

This is either yet more disgusting homophobia from an ignormant mind or Tony is going to produce evidence that 2 men have never successfully brought up a child, anywhere in the world, ever.

Good luck tony

Many children for generations have been successfully raised in one parent families,this is normal.

Raising children in same sex relationships is not natural and there is no evidence that it will be successful

Tony
Please state your evidence that same sex couples cannot successfully rasie a child.

If you cannot produce any evidence (you know real facts that prove a point) then at least have the decemcy to state that you accept that there is no evidence.

Relevance? I call my parents Tom/Tommy & Pat.

Depends on how well the other kids have been brought up

Probably the usual range of experiences. What is evidence to the contrary?

If you focus too much on the misogyny your homophobia might suffer.

You are a horror of a human being

T Fearon

Has bullying at school not tragically led to suicides? Will the children being raised in same sex relationships not inevitably be taunted ,ribbed and bullied at school on account of this? What about the children themselves who will have no say in who they're placed with and might well resent this even violently (as has been the case with victims of clerical child abuse) when they grow up/reach the age of reason?

Simply not natural,not normal not needed.

At least we know Tony F and the DUP share the same prehistoric views on some things.
