Australian Debate on Same Sex Partners Adoption

Today Prime Minister John Howard stepped into the debate by saying that he is opposed to gay couples adopting children.

Howard said to Southern Cross radio he believed all children should have a mother and a father. “It gives children the best opportunity in life.

I know for some that sounds harsh, I don’t think it’s harsh, I think it’s something that most people believe is the desired, the ideal outcome.”

He then added: “I’m not saying that gay and lesbian people don’t display enormous affection to children.”

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING, THEN JOHNNY???
