About one year ago there was another thread discussing homosexual foster parents .
I set out in detail,my reasons for thinking that this should not have been allowed. I talked quite a lot about my personal experience on that thread, and I think we ended up with a fairly good and illumination discussion.   On this thread, as I am not a Christian or a member of any other religion I have tried to be objective in everything I have written.
I have no brief for the fundamentalists or even lay church members, but most of these people hold very strong views on homosexuality, views which they see as perfectly valid.
These views are further reinforced when the relious see that a large majority of the general public see homosexuality as something shameful

The religious and secular who believe in marriage as an institution would ask , why should that institution be weakened by forcing it to accept those whom the vast majority of the public regard as perverts?
