/// This is a perfect example of what we are talking about on another thread. I dare to differ from the trendy right on view, therefore I must be beaten into submission!
You have got it in one there TTT, had the discussion been about a straight father being better at bringing up a child than the mother, you would have had all the female ABers tearing you to smithereens. //
Far be it from me to pre-empt any response from the ladies in our community, but the argument put forward unanimously by the ladies who have responded is that it is the interests of the child that are paramount here, not taking some sort of perverse 'women's lib' position to defend the mother at all costs.
Without exception, none of the ladies who have posted have tried to defend the mother in this circumstance - because they agree with the court that in this case, the mother is not the appropriate parent for the child being discussed.
// But this involves homosexuality so all other views go out the window and the trendy 'right-on' views come to the forefront. //
That only applies if you are determined to bend the discussion to the aspect of orientation, rather than suitability of the couple involved - which clearly you are, and so is Tora.
In that case, you need to acknowledge that it is your personal predjudices that are colouring your view of the situation, rather than seeing - as the court has done - that the suitability of parenting trumps sexual orientation any day - because that is what supports the needs of the child.
