Unhappy

I have felt unhappy about a number of things over recent years, if you have read my blog before you will quickly realise that a lot of things frustrate me. Something which I have found myself getting increasingly angry about is the 'rights culture'. We live at a time in which self-designated victim groups can do no wrong, while the majority culture can do no right. White men are wrong, whilst women are right, women are seen to be the victim in all cases of abuse, yet when you look at the facts men are just as likely to be 'battered' as much as women.

Homosexuals have been victimised in the past, that cannot be denied but we now live in a culture in which homosexuality is deemed 'normal'. What I find annoying about the 'rights culture' and anti-discrimination legislation is that certain groups rights supersede other groups rights. This seems to go against the nature of anti-discrimination, society is told that it cannot discriminate against someones; sexuality, gender, religion, age, disability, height, weight, or basically anything. But the problem with the legislation is, it tries to be all things to all men (or should I say all people), the legislation has been shown to not work, especially when it comes to Christians and what they believe.

There have been a number of cases in which Christians have stated their beliefs and been discriminated against, one was the case of the Christian registrar who was sacked because she said that she did not want to perform a marriage for same sex couples, as this goes against her beliefs. A Christian was forced to step down from an adoption panel because he refused to place children with gay couples. A Catholic adoption agency was forced to close because they had the same approach. When a Scottish heroin addict was judged unfit to care for her four year old daughter and five year old son, their grandparents' request to adopt them was turned down and the children were instead given up for adoption to a gay male couple against strong opposition by the grandparents. The grandparents were told that if they objected they would never see their grandchildren again. It seems to me that being offended is a one way street, if you complain that something offends your religious beliefs, because it goes against the politically correct minority belief, the minority will mostly win the argument.

This brings me onto the adoption of a child by Elton John and his partner, to be totally honest I find this to be totally repulsive on a number of fronts. Firstly lets look at Elton Johns age, he is 63 years old, when his 'son' is 16 he will be 79. It seems strange to me that Elton John has lived all these years and had plenty of opportunities to adopt a child but at the grand old age of 63 decides it is the right time. Well I have to be honest I think being able to adopt a child at this age is wrong as it goes against everything that is natural.

Secondly I believe that 2 homosexual males adopting is morally wrong and again goes against everything that is natural. By the very nature that they are 2 men means they cannot physically have children. Elton John and his partner are gay, I believe they should just except that because they are gay they cannot have children and should not be able to adopt. We live in a topsy-turvy world in which the 'norms' of society have been turned on their head. We are constantly being forced fed propaganda which tells us that our views are wrong if they go against the politically correct point of view. We are told that all lifestyles are equal, but I do not agree, the facts speak for themselves, children who are raised in a traditional 'nuclear family' have got a greater advantage of succeeding and turning out to be normal than those who don't. 80 per cent of all young offenders come from single mother families. Elton John and his partner may well be loving 'parents' but they are homosexuals and this child will grow up with no mother, likewise a lesbian couple who adopt will have a child that grows up with no father. Many children who are adopted find that when they get older they have a desire to find their natural parents, what will Elton John say to this child if he asks who his mother is?

Many would argue that as long as a child ends up with loving parents whatever their sexuality, that is all that counts. But what has happened over the years, is the ideology of political correctness has engulfed all areas of life, and particularly our social services. The decision was taken a few years ago not to put black children with white parents, and many of these black children ended up living out their childhood years moving from one foster parent to another, or being stuck in children's home, just because of a hideous ideology which puts their beliefs above human beings lives. Many married couples who cannot have children have given up trying to adopt because of the nightmare of working their way through the jungle of social services ideology, and many children have never known the love of a father and mother because of this. I will never agree with homosexuals adopting because I believe the best way for a child to be brought up is with the love of a mother and father, and this is the way it was always meant to be!
