While helping my wife peel potatoes, two grandchildren were idly watching the ABC News waiting for me to start a DVD for them.

Disturbed by loud vocalisations of revulsion I turned to see a film report of the Irish referendum showing two silver haired ladies energetically snogging.

I am now quite disturbed because children who would share this natural revulsion to same sex physicality are possibly being adopted into same sex relationships.

The homosexual lobby have been persuading us that people with certain inclinations, as they see it, should be free to express themselves.

Well this should be reciprocated, so that children with a natural revulsion to same sex physicality should have their natural sentiments respected and placed in an appropriate normal family.
