  1. Why, same sex parenting is the reality. Why would you censor a book that simply explains or observes reality. Are you some sort of religious fundamentalist?

  2. So there are numerous studies going back 40 years that show children in same sex parenting families suffer no more or less than families with parents from each sex. What some studies show is that children in same sex parenting situations do suffer mental health issues associated with the stigma associated with having two parents of the same sex. All this information is available with a quick search of the internet.

  3. @Gavin-qh7li  One of the men can donate sperm to a surrogate. This is the most usual way as I understand it, or they can adopt. A much more difficult process.

  4. That is a completely idiotic comment. To compare loving, caring same sex parents to predators says far more about you than anything else.

  5.  @martinepstein3332  Look I must admit I have never read any of his work. Sad. I read almost exclusively non fiction, although I have read most of Orwells (Eric Blair) work some years ago. If you would recommend one Wodehouse novel what would it be?

  6. @Ellio88 No I clearly pointed out the only two ways two biological men can have a child. Now if one of those men is a trans gender male and still has a working womb then there would be no need to adopt or surrogate, but you are really getting into the margins.

  7. @Ellio88 There is bucketloads of data that show children in same sex relationships fare no better or worse than opposite sex relationships.

  8.  @Gavin-qh7li  It’s not whether I think it’s acceptable it is reality. Numerous studies going back approximately 40 years show no harmful effects from same sex parenting.

  13. Unless both men were transgender men and had working wombs in which case you would need a sperm donor.

  14.  @jayrwickerman  I used to initiate a discussion with Phil, but no longer. If he engages me I’ll comment back. He is a creationist who doesn’t understand evolution.

  15. @Ellio88 I’m sure your comments aimed at me are meant to be derogatory, however the vagueness and stupidity of them is a reflection of you. Address the issue.

  16. @Ellio88 I’m Australian so any other Australian would know what “bucket loads” means. So to translate to whatever cultural background you are from let’s try the word “numerous”.

  17. Numerous studies confirm same sex parenting has little to no effect than opposite sex parenting. What studies have shown is that the children of same sex parents suffer ill health from the stigma and bullying the children receive from society.

  18. You would still put homosexuals in gaol as we did in the 60s. I was married and had kids and it was still a criminal offence at the time to be a homosexual. You are a bigot.

  19. Do you mean me personally or generally? Obviously the overwhelming most common way is the act of copulation. There are others, IVF, surrogacy, adoption. This is relevant because?
