Every child needs a loving, caring and protective family, whether this be the love of a mother and father, two mothers, or two fathers is beside the point.

What you put forward is opinion, not fact, so before you start imposing these views on others I urge to at least have the decency to back it up with valid research evidence.

‘Research to date has reached an unequivocal conclusion about gay parenting: the children of lesbian and gay parents grow up as successfully as the children of heterosexual parents. In fact, not a single study has found the children of lesbian or gay parents to be disadvantaged because of their parents’ sexual orientation.’

Furthermore, here are the key findings from research:

‘There is no evidence to suggest that lesbians and gay men are unfit to be parents. Home environments with lesbian and gay parents are as likely to successfully support a child’s development as those with heterosexual parents.

Good parenting is not influenced by sexual orientation. Rather, it is influenced most profoundly by a parent’s ability to create a loving and nurturing home — an ability that does not depend on whether a parent is gay or straight.

There is no evidence to suggest that the children of lesbian and gay parents are less intelligent, suffer from more problems, are less popular, or have lower self-esteem than children of heterosexual parents.

The children of lesbian and gay parents grow up as happy, healthy and well-adjusted as the children of heterosexual parents.’

I do not support the use of IVF as the planet could do with less children and if humans do not have the biological capabilities to have children then they shouldn’t have them. However, I do believe strongly in adoption and couples (both same sex and hetero) should consider this more charitable route.

when single sex parents choose to have a child through IVF, it is a conscious choice and one where all things are taken into account and planned for. i believe that more single sex parents maybe more prepared to raise a child as it would never be an opps.

i think people need to get with the times and changes in the world. as u never know, one day ur daughter or son could be gay and where would u closed minds get u then!!!

However, when it comes to my views on the family, no-one will ever change my views on the importance of a mother and father for every child (see ‘Why I write this blog’).

“Every child needs a father and a mother. No argument, no discussion, no debate.”

May I make a slight change..

Every child needs a father and a mother. No argument, no discussion, no debate. No democracy.
