would you rather see a child who is being beaten, sexually abused or severely neglected stay in such a situation or take the "risk" of putting them in a same sex partnership home?

That's a complete no brainer - neither. I want to put them into a completely safe environment with no un-nesessary risks at all. Why should the only choices be risky ones? Surely it's that that makes no sense isn't it? It's a bit like saying do you like your children fried or boiled! Give me a real choice and I will be happy to make it.
