Default The homophobe journalists
Same-sex marriage hurts kids
GAYS are not second-class citizens but a gay man certainly makes a second-class mother...

This article from the courier mail popped up on my google news reader

My comment to the article
"what you have just said many would consider to be insanely homophobic and offensive. What knowledge do you know about parenting if you've never raised a child in such a relationship.
Also, many studies of those with foster children being raised in same sex couples have found there is no difference in the child compared to other children.
oh and I hate you."

yeah, SO can we spread this around like wildfire and smother it pieces?

This wasn't a news item but an "Op-Ed" piece which is designed to provoke controversy and reader sales.

The one in yesterday's Sydney Morning Herald got a better and bigger response

how are people like this allowed to exist. let alone publish things that people actually read!
how is a homosexual adult suppose to read this - let alone a child or teenager who has grown up or is growing up in a 'tragic, broken and deprived' family with a same sex couple.

bloooooooody hellllll. this is honestly his own opinion and by publishing it like it appears as well researched fact to readers with less brains than this idiot. i wonder if he has even read of morals and marriage - to my understanding the author was very against the laws against homosexuals at the time.

Thanks for your comments everyone.

We found out a little more about the author of today's article, and got a few good comments:

http://www.samesame.com.au/news/loca...disgusting.htm

I see there's loads of great feedback underneath the Courier Mail's original piece - but also a few vile ones from homophobes attracted to van Gend's nonsense. Articles like this can be a lightening rod for ignorant people who just read the headline and think "yeah, it's still OK to hate gays".

Love you all xox
