Well, as we are now deaing in hypotheticals,(KB in Iowa's oft answered question), has it occurred to any of you, that if the current AIDS figures were available in 1967, homosexuality would still be illegal and we would not even be discussing "gay marriage" in these pages.

Oh yes Don Firth!.....I almost forgot that you had taken me to task on name calling.....now let me see, you state in your post...10June 8:32 that you fee I am the sort of person who would take pleasre in the deaths of people affected by AIDS.............I respond that you have fallen to a new low in the dicussion, almost (but not quite) reaching the level of Mr Peekstock, who is a proven "bottom feeder"

Weeeell, on reviewing these remarks, I think you are probably right and my remark to you is much more of an insult than yours to me, so I apologise unreservedly.

I first encountered Mr Peekstock on the Gay Parents thread, when he entered a post full of insults, shouting and bluster, he is simply a bully and tried unsuccessfully to intimidate myself and others who disagreed with Male Homosexual fostering.

Since then Mr Peekstock has altered his tactics slightly, but in my experience a bully is always a bully and will always attempt to intimidate until confronted by people of courage.

Don....I know you from many years of posting here, you are not such a person and I regret the language we have used towards one another on this thread and I would never accuse you of taking pleasure in the deaths of anyone.....even bigots.....Ake
