Guardian author Jill
Filipovic suggests that the needs of children are irrelevant in the same-sex 'marriage' debate |
It is sometimes difficult to keep up with the topsy-turvy world of
homosexual politics, where sea-change shifts in ideology happen almost
as a regular occurrence. Once the gay community finally seems to have
reached a consensus on some important point, the parameters will shift
and they will adopt a new ideology, sometimes the opposite of what they
once affirmed.
Once the homosexual community virulently opposed any notion that
there is a genetic base to homosexuality; now, anyone who denies the
genetic theory is automatically labelled a homophobe.
Once the homosexual community relentlessly championed the notion that
sexuality is fluid. Those were the days when anyone who denied that we
can choose our sexual identity was classed as a bigot. Now the gay
community insists with equal virulence that our sexual identity is
something we are born with.
Once more the tables are turning, and this time the issue concerns the role of children.
Whether they argue that same-sex parenting is equivalent to
man-woman parenting, or whether they argue that same-sex parenting is
actually superior, no one has been willing to say that it simply doesn’t
matter at all. Indeed, up to now it has been taken for granted that the
needs of children should be paramount, and that is precisely why the
gay community has bent over backwards to try to show that same-sex
parenting (and by extension, same-sex ‘marriage’) benefits children.
At least, until this week.
Now that a study has
come out which purports to show that children of same-sex parents
actually fare worse, pro-homosexual writers are changing their tune and
saying that the question of children is now irrelevant.
In an article that appeared in Thursday’s Guardian,
journalist Jill Filipovic suggested that the needs of children should
actually be bracketed off as immaterial to the debate over same-sex
‘marriage.’
