Date | 00:36:14, February 19, 2011 CET | From | Labor Party | To | Debating the Adoption Act |
Message | Labor considers this to be an offensive proposal. Therefore, we must oppose. |
Date | 00:46:27, February 19, 2011 CET | From | Socialist International | To | Debating the Adoption Act |
Message | Only by being raised by loving parents may children be brought up to do their best, and this is regardless of the sexuality of the family. I can not support this bill. |
Date | 00:50:22, February 19, 2011 CET | From | Liberal Democtatic Party | To | Debating the Adoption Act |
Message | We of the Liberal Democratic Party also find this bill offensive and cannot vote for it. |
Date | 00:53:17, February 19, 2011 CET | From | Libertarian Left | To | Debating the Adoption Act |
Message | Even if there was an argument that heterosexual parents raised better children, which I can see no backing for; the idea that even having children living in crowded state or church run orphanages with a huge waiting list for adopters is better than having gay parents adopt is preposterous. |
