Who cares if something is natural or artifical? What does it matter. My hair has blonde streaks in it, they're not NATURAL. I'm sat at a computer, it's not made of wood and is no way NATURAL. I'm looking out of a window at a Cathedral that was built and didn't grow NATURALLY. So? I think those that champion nature and all things being natural are hypocrites unless they live totally self-contained, relying on the NATURAL resources around them without relying on pharmaceuticals, cars etc.

I remember seeing a documentary a few years back, where a Gay couple (2 Men) had I think it was two daughters - they interviewed the eldest daughter and she was well educated and very well balanced and would make any Parent proud. As far as she was concerned she just had 2 Dad's and let's face it many Kids these days have 2 Dad's or 2 Mum's. If a loving, stable home can be provided then I see no problem with same sex couples having children. Kaye x

I don't understand whatever your preference is in the bedroom affects your love and ability to be a parent. The two are totally unconnected in my view and if so called society was more tolerant of people in general then there would be quite a few less social problems. I judge people by their sincerity and humanity, not by their sexuality. xlolx

I can remember as being told on this board that my upbringing must have been a difficult one as i had been bought up by profoundly deaf people - my answer was 'actually being bought up by hearing parents is something i find hard to understand' the bottom line is - what you are bought up with is NORMAL to YOU and as long as you weren't abused in any shape or form then no-one else can judge whether that is right or wrong!! As for gay couples not being able to concieve naturally - are we gonna banned IVF for hetrosexual couples because they can't concieve 'naturally'? The world is made up of lots of different people - being straight doesn't make us perfect parents!!

Diana and Deanna, I agree with you on this. Sexuality shouldn't make a difference.

My son is not gay. He shares his flat with another lad he has known for years and they each have a child who come to their Dad's at weekends etc. Not a lot of difference to those two kids except that their fathers don't sleep together. I would rather see a child in a proper home where it is loved, however that home is constituted, than some of the atrocious conditions and treatment some of them receive.
