I would say close-mindedness and ignorance, whether fostered by religion or secularity, are the cause of most of the problems in the world.

Bit more live and let live needed methinks.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

why wouldn't you want to produce that child with a women

Errr ..... because if you're a gay man you'd hardly want to spend your life with a woman regardless of sleeping with her.

Being gay isn't wrong, illegal or immoral ( unless you're some bigotted bible basher or religious fruitloop !!! ) and so there's nothing wrong with a gay couple wanting to experience the joy of parenthood - it's just not going to be via the biological route.

Funny, because I would have said it was people with attitudes like yours that are the causing most of the problems in the world.

Not necessarily. Admittedly a huge amount of the story isn't being told here but...

• Nowhere does it say that the boy's religious 'needs' are not being met
• Nowhere does it say that this is what the boy wants or indeed what his needs are, so we don't know what he wants - and no-one is in a position to say you do.

The crux of the story is that the mother's religious beliefs - not necessarily the boy's - are dictating that she doesn't want the boy to be with same-sex parents. The point is, her religious beliefs are not going to come high on the list of priorities for the boy's welfare.

She is the childs parent, and as such her views as to who raises her child and how they raise the child should come into play.

The poor woman had a break down.

Nowhere does it say in that article she's a bad mother or that she will never get her son back.

No point giving the child to someone whose lifestyle and views are going to be completely polar to hers and her sons.

but thats what its all about , its not like going to asda and picking one of the shelf on a buy one and get one free deal

What if gay parents needed a child of theirs fostered for whatever reasons and the family they were to be placed with were staunch BNP people.

People don't think the gay couple giving up their kid would have issues with this?

How old is the child? Children can not and do not have regligious beliefs. What they have is prejudices and superstitions imposed on them by adults.

What, wanting to be parent ? I'd have thought it was one of the most natural things in life regardless of your sexualality.

Whether it's right is very subjective but generally it's bigots that try to pull that arguement. I would have hoped residents of this city especially would be more enlightened but I guess that goes to show how wrong I am !

That's a bigoted term right there.

Some people may say that's being slightly hypocritical.

I know - that's why there is a proper process to determine your suitability to foster etc. It shouldn't be tainted by restrictions against your race, colour, sexuality, politics, religion, height, weight. It should be based puely on your suitability to care for that specific child.

Oh the irony.

Good point - I should have put unless you're a follower of religious texts that persecute gay people.
