NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Gay peoples normal state is UNABLE to have kids

Telboy,
Hetrosexual couples have infertility problems.
Gay couples dont have the ability to concieve a child.
dispite the similar outcome (no child) there is a massive difference.

Only in your mind, because you're prejudiced against same sex parents, even though you aren't exactly sure why. I understand what you're saying. I don't agree with it, but i do comprehend your view.

How can you not agree with it, Ive not provided an arguement, Ive provided a fact.....
Sounds like your just trying to convince yourself your right. Im not saying Im right, Im saying what I believe is right, what you believe is right for all I care but the point is we aint gonna make a difference we're just discussing it and trying to understand everyone elses point of view

I meant your assertion that it's a "massive difference". I don't see it as one, that's all.

Physiologically, BP, of course. In all other respects, i see few, if any, differences.

Don't see how you can just sweep it under the carpet because it doesn't fit in with your logic.

Exactly, Tiggs; where do we stop treating people who aren't "perfect".
This whole argument is based on homosexual prejudice, subconsciously or not. Otherwise you'd have to scrutinise every other similar gay/non-gay example. Hey ho.

No, that's JUST my point. Good parents aren't ONLY those who are physiologically capable of having kids. Do you see what i'm saying?

I'm diabetic, so by the same token, if I was a lesbian I shouldn't be treated.
Any treatment (whether it be for infertility or not) should be made available to all or none - there shouldn't be discrimination of any sort.

I don't see the problem. Loads of unsuitable parents have kids every day. As for getting bullied in the playground then by that token anybody who is ginger should not be allowed to have kids!
