Australian election poster has been called "Horrific"



So this is a political pamphlet that’s been distributed to residents living in the Queensland seat of Moreton.  A similar pamphlet was reportedly distributed in the Victorian seat of Issacs.  And in the Queensland seat of Petrie.

This is not about Labor or Liberal. This is not about Government versus Opposition. This is not even about left or right.  This is about right and wrong.

Suggesting that somehow same sex couples are harming their own children is sick and insulting in the extreme. To imply that the children of gay and lesbian Australians love their parents any less because of their sexuality, is abhorrent.

About time somebody spoke up for the children.  The best evidence is that children need BOTH mothers and fathers. See e.g. here. You can get by with one parent but two give the child much more.  In my view, a child has a RIGHT to know, and have at least some contact with, both their natural mother and  father.  Frustrating though it is to lesbians, ALL children do so far have a natural mother and  father.

Neither hetero, lesbian or gay parents care so much about children at the point of selfishly wanting to be parents, and will use all forms of conception to get them, whether natural, "test-tube", donated sperm, surrogate mothers (paid or otherwise), adoption (paid or otherwise - including "harvesting" 3rd World babies).
None really cares very much about the child's right to know where or how they came about or how it REALLY affects the children psychologically as they grow up. Yes, it may well be offset to some extent by the quality of responsible loving parents, which of course isn't made better or worse just by being hetero, lesbian, gay, single or in extended families and the surrounding culture. And of course no child is raised in a perfect situation.

And what about LBJ and his underhanded Daisie Chain ad or Obama using Big Bird?

Children with two parents of the same sex will be bullied a lot at school.

Well 11:15, you cannot generalize about types of parents. Some lesbian parents may well be failing in giving suitable male influences to their boys kids, but many more may be doing their very best to provide them. Just as a great many more hetero-parents (simply by statistical levels will be hopeless parents) does not account for many who do their best to provide a good and balanced childhood for their kids.

there is a cure now for mis-directed sex individuals. Science has recently manipulated the sex of mice using serotonin, I'm sure this cure could help confused people now.

5:48 Sadly there's no obvious cure for your mis-directed desire to interfere with the sex of other people, and your apparent fascination with eugenics.
