I suppose you don`t mind if it`s your image they pleasure themselves over, but then i suppose you will never know for sure if they do or not unless they tell you they do.

Oh and just in case you were wondering Keizer Soze (Kevin Spacey) is gay.
do you cover your face in public just in case one of them checks you out and knocks one out when he gets to the nearest public convenience?

A minor point for me is that it is a shame they created a new person rather than adopt an orphan.
Agreed.

I would like an option,
It's their business and not mine.

Somebody wants it on the statute books? Government (and nosey parkers\old style conservatives/socialists) have no right into the family home. Excepting in cases of abuse of courserolleyes

as for the 'they'll be bullied' argument - no doubt you are against gingers or welsh people, or fatties or spackers or darkies having kids too, they'll get bullied too

there are good parents and there are bad parents - all good parents are different, all bad parents are different
...]
nono

No gingers, I still believe that, gay or not, kids should have someone to look up to.

no great shame as your POV is pretty abhorrent
In your opinion, I find the destruction of society's morals through law just as abhorrent. I also don't believe it's what the majority want, just that most people with normal views stay quiet because the minority who disagree such as you are so vocal about it.
there it is again - 'normal'

it must be really uncomfortable having to go through life with such deep seated prejudices

what if, for example, a father died and a child was raised by his mother and his grandmother?
Or like Jack Nicholson raised by his mum pretending to be his gran, or like Steed raised by women and wore dresses for the first ten years of his life, it's a crazy ole worldbiggrin

If im oblivious to it its not such a problem as it might have never happened, perhaps it is more likely if you hang around with gays or frequent gay bars etc.

So you dont mind if they tell you about the state of their boyfriends asshole after they buggered it silly last night?

Adoption is one thing, having someone else pop one out for you is another kettle of fish entirely. Literally, I suppose.

I guess it's the modern way. I'm still in my 20s though and I'm not entirely comfortable with the situation pertaining. I'm quite sure I wouldn't even want a straight Elton John for a dad. He's ginger FFS!

Not really. Btw your last sentence should read It must be nice to be that sure of your self that you can have views & not being bullied by a small vocal minority of society into changing them.

tbh I've never been told be either of my 2 gay mates nor have I had the curiousity to ask, the same applies to my hetero friend's wives/gfs

tbh if that's the things that really spring to mind when the gay topic gets raised you should really be asking yourself some questions

Would you cease to be friends with someone if they came out as gay, and you had previously always thought they were straight?

Wow the results of this poll actually really disappoint me, I thought this was a place with sensible people, but these are actually the same people that wouldn't let white women interfere with black men? And their children, no matter how loved, would be devil-spawn?

Blimey.

If you are not yourself a ginger then you should be ok as it is not a same ginger hair colour marriage. Now if you were a ginger you would probably end up with some seriously ginger children.

If you were a gay ginger man married to another gay ginger man and somehow managed to have a ginger baby i would say your kid might have some issues (ginger and with 2 gay dads to name the easy ones)

Because it is a more accurate description of the situation you attempted to describe.

not quite with you on that but in any case I'll leave it there as it's irrelevant

Well i have heard plenty of banter at times from straight friends about how they annihilated their Mrs last night, had a 3sum butterflying some bird etc etc.

Now if i heard that from a guy about a guy i think i would probably be sick, and would certainly be wondering why i am hanging around with gays.
