Waldo Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Okay, given that they are a gay couple, they are not expecting in the 'traditional' sense, but are using a surrogate. So what is it about this story that outrages you so much? A gay couple raising a child; or that other children will be screwed up because the English language has not been used properly in this particular case, and they will become confused? Nothing to do with them being gay, but how about, given chronic over-population on planet earth; why don't they adopt, rather than bring yet another life in to the world?

mickey finn Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 On a day where there's been another shooting of schoolchildren and you choose this to start a thread? How, exactly, does this story affect you and why are you so excited that you need to add superfluous punctuation? Yeah thats right, the world must come to a standstill because some people got shot in another country, you better stop using forums completely until the Syrian conflict comes to an end.

Mister M Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 So Tom Daley olympic diver and Partner Dustin lance Black are now "expecting " their first baby!! oh really????? how does that happen then? have we missed something in the evolution of man? no! they have paid or borrowed a surrogate, they are not expecting ! god its no wonder kids are screwed up nowadays. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/feb/14/tom-daley-and-dustin-lance-black-expecting-their-first-child I think you need to do some reading on this matter. Research shows that children raised by gay or lesbian parents do as well as other children in terms of well-being, adjustment, functioning and peer relationships, and researchers have found no differences in terms of depression, anxiety and self-esteem http://www.medicaldaily.com/do-same-sex-parents-impact-mental-health-their-children-some-us-states-say-yes-and-prohibit-lgbt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough point; but one that could be made to all people who bring a new child into the world. I don't know, but maybe Tom & his partner want a child that has some biological connection to them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert smith Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Why don't they just get on with it ,why do they have to shout it from the roof tops . Apart from that it is obvious that only one of them is going to be a biological parent as only a man and women can actually conceive a child. So that means that one em is having a baby dunt it.

melthebell Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Why don't they just get on with it ,why do they have to shout it from the roof tops . Yeah only hetrosexuals can shout it from the rooftops, you do understand according to the link given they only posted it on instgram like any excited couple would, for friends and family and fans probably. Its when the papers start shouting from the rooftops when everybody gets in a tiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Yeah thats right, the world must come to a standstill because some people got shot in another country, you better stop using forums completely until the Syrian conflict comes to an end. You're right, I'm sorry, the losses of lives in Syria is far higher than that in Florida. Next time, I'll pick a more heinous happening as a reference.

I1L2T3 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Who cares. Let them get on with being happy together with their new child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Who cares. Let them get on with being happy together with their new child. I agree. Anyway, the OP, 'real cockney', hasn't been back to argue his case, which suggests that his outrage over this is fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
