Yes, there we have it.On ABC-TV's Q&A on Monday night came an extraordinary question from an audience member who said: "The criticism of Senator Wong is based on the homophobic idea that a child is entitled to having both a father and a mother."
So there you have it. It is homophobic to say a child is entitled to a mother and a father.
Yet not one person on the panel could find the courage to knock the assertion on the head.
On Facebook someone published a list of my Facebook friends on a page called: "Stopping psychotic extremists who want to kill minorities". Inviting people to bully and harass my Facebook friends is this person's way of trying to silence an opinion he (or she) doesn't like.
A cursory glance at these rage-flecked responses offers an insight into the illiberal mindset of those who pretend to demand tolerance. Or rather ram it down our throats. This is not tolerance but jackboot totalitarianism, the tyranny of the minority.

My sentiments exactly.
ReplyDeleteTo say a child is first and foremost entitled to know and be raised by the two people who share identity with the child is not bigotry against everyone who is not the bio-parents. That means everyone in the world but two people are being denied something? But only one group seems to have the podium to claim they are being discriminated against?
But if two people have no unique claim on a child, and a child has no unique claim on the two people who combined to create the child between them, then they are the ones denied their rights.
