Do you agree that children are no more likely to be abused by homosexual carers than by heterosexual

No, not at all, Paul. In fact I said in my opening post that I wasn't sure if this was why the thread was started but it did, to me, open up other questions - Like the ones I have raised. I do however think it is more likely that children brought up by gay parents will be subject to more abuse from other people than those brought up in 'straight' families. Simply because of the fact that their parents are gay. I don't think it fair to place that burden on a child un-necessarily.

And I blame my parents as well. If they had only let me be born rich I am sure I would be doing something better with my time;-)
