Children with Gay Couples = Less Future Clients for the Church

I made the mistake this morning of reading the Daily Mail (for work purposes). As expected, most articles histrionically accused gays and "metrosexuals" of bullying the poor Catholic darlings, who have all the right in the world to discriminate against gays & lesbians.

Instead of responding with a bilious post of my own, I've decided to offer some examples of adoptions by gay couples:

Excellent articles.

I know I keep saying this, but all sorts of wildly inappropriate people are having kids without any thought or care.

I am stunned when suitable parents are repeatedly shunned by adoption agencies.

Lovely articles. I don't know if gay couples would even be considered as potential adopters here. Just curious, and hope you don't mind me asking--would you ever want children?

In the past, I thought I did... but now I'm not so sure. My main problem is that I don't foresee ever earning enough money to provide for a kid; it's already hard enough making ends meet. Plus, I don't think I have the maturity yet to deal with raising a child. Perhaps when I'm in my 40s, I'll feel more settled and ready to take in a child or two.

gay bands you should watch out for is currently on the table right now. entirely unbelievable, yet real. "C.H.O.P.S stands for CHANGING HOMOSEXUALS into ORDINARY PEOPLE." ordinary people who can only listen to shitty music. and cyndi lauper. because as we all know, cyndi lauper has no tolerance for gays. she played at the second pride festival i went to. thousands of gayers singing time after time a capella with her. made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Morrissey(?questionable?)

Hahaha! Just because he doesn't spell it out for them?

I've given up trying to understand extreme religious people;it's like trying to explain mathematics to a dog.

Always the same. Will they ever learn?
