| Message | I would ask those who oppose this bill to ask any child, whether abandoned, orphaned or whatever else, whether heterosexuality was a precondition of their desire to be loved, cared for and nourished. Labour sees no reason why adoption standards would be any different or less stringent for non-straight couples seeking to adopt children. That being said, Labour is very pro-children and will not only vote to legalize, but also to encourage the adoption of children by anyone and everyone who would give them a better life.

| Message | "This bill as absolutely nothing to do with sexuality or LGBT and we find it patronising that the Labour Party would try to make it so." Joachim Buemi, Chairman, Unionist LGBT Committee |
