Cabinet rejects exemption on gay adoptions
Compromise means Catholic church will not be given special treatment

The Catholic church is almost certain to lose its battle for special treatment over gay adoption rules under a deal agreed by the cabinet to heal damaging divisions between senior ministers. Cabinet sources said the new proposals would require Catholic adoption agencies to consider gay couples - or close down - after a reasonable delay that would allow them to ensure that the children in their care are properly dealt with.

In my opinion the Church are correct in this one. I am not being homophobic about this as I am sure that there are plenty of 'Gay' couples who would look after adopted children in a proper manner.
I am thinking about the children involved. The abuse the will receive at the school. Make no mistake, other children wont be long in telling and bullying them about their situation.
Not least, if there is the chance that ONE child could be abused sexually through these adoptions, then that is one child too many.
We are all aware, if not we should be, that paedophiles go out of their way to get in contact with children. Some become Scout Leaders, P.E. Teachers and Music Teachers, some even become Clergymen solely to feed their paedophilic desires.
There has already been cases of children being molested by paedophilic foster parents. At the extreme I can see this as a chance to abuse children on a large, even an organized scale.

As for the genuine gay couples who would make good parents. To them I say, tough. We are all suffering daily through the actions of minorities.
