Judge orders child removed from Lesbian couple's care

[Silver]

Nah......

[robvalue]

Regarding the judge, I really hope it is illegal. If this stands it will be a terrible precedent for rampant bigotry and abuse of power.

JUDGES FOR LIFE, yeah who came up with that lame idea.

Of course children are better off with their biological parents.

That is a red herring. The conversation here is about children who are not with their biological parents, for whatever reasons. They are in foster care.

Now, Aractus, you made the assertion that children are better off with heterosexual parents. Please provide some evidence for this claim, in light of the conversation we are actually having here.

Children ARE better off in heterosexual-coupled homes.

When compared to what other circumstances? Better than being alone on the streets; I think that would be obvious. Better than being in care; probably right. Better than in a homosexual-coupled home; I'm sure I've seen evidence to suggest the contrary. What about the control groups: loving homes, homes with domestic abuse, varied income groups? I think you're making an oversimplification so you're not being clear.

The problem is that adults think their rights should outweigh the rights of children

That's all too common in the UK.

but I would 100% agree that a child should have both a father and mother wherever possible.

If only nature weren't so cruel.

That's not to say that I agree with taking children aware from their parents or guardians based on their sexuality; since parental stability is even more important still.

Good!

Orientation doesn't matter in regards to how good of a parent you are.

Children are no worse off in a homosexual home than they are in a heterosexual one. Nor are they worse off in a single parent home. Poverty is a far bigger factor than the orientation of their parents or number of parents.

It's pretty fucked up to say "Heterosexual parents make better parents because it'd be ideal for children to be with their biological parents." That's to say that a mother that gives up her child because she's 16 and can't care for her child properly isn't doing the right thing by giving her up if she chooses not to have an abortion. It's to suggest that the only substitute for biological parents is a heterosexual couple, and that they can't be substituted by a homosexual couple.

"Children need a male and female influence in their life!" some assholes say. Cause we all know parents are the ONLY influences in a child's life.

What the fuck you disagree that children should remain with their parents/guardians where possible? You cite your sources asshole.

That which is advanced without evidence may be dismissed without evidence ... asshole.

Isn't that what I said?

So long as you ignore the unsupported homophobic preference you expressed first, sure ... asshole.

[Aoi Magi]

Maybe the judge is just jealous that he didn't have two loving moms instead of buttfucking priests

[brewer]

Oh, please. Cite your sources.

What the fuck you disagree that children should remain with their parents/guardians where possible? You cite your sources asshole.

Time for you to crawl back into your hole.

Must admit, as versatile an insult as arsehole is, its American counterpart can often be more amusing especially when italicised.
