    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    More than confusing especially if it's a boy who has two fella's as parents. Imagine the ridicule he would receive growing up.

    I'm not talking about adults, Rayna.

    Kids can be very cruel.

    Yeah ... but - it's in the earlier stages of childhood that I'd imagine this would be likely to be at its most problematic - young kids can be really cruel toward others in their peer group whom they perceive as being "different" in any way! , but it's true.

    Having said that ... I notice BOTH my daughter and daughter-in-law have applauded the Irish vote on Facebook.

    So you would just let your kid be cruel or bully another kid because he/she is different? That's where parents and any supervising adults should come into the equation. If parents tell or corrected such instances or explain to them of such things then kids will understand things eventually (that's if these adults have no problems with same sex couples). Wouldn't you correct young kids of any bad behavior in the first place? Teens are quite more complicated because they have their own mind. Kids, they reflect what things are being taught and told by the adults. If their parents and adults surrounding them tell them being gay or in a same sex relationship is awful/bad/disgusting, that's how they will perceive it. That will be what kids of same sex couples would most likely experience.

    I don't have kids but I've got young nephews. When the eldest started learning how to curse at the age of 2 (he heard it from adult neighbours), we corrected it. I haven't heard him curse again since that week (he's 10 in Sept). With the youngest one, up to now he still drinks milk from the bottle and he'll be 6 in August. No one was telling him to stop coz my sister & brother-in-law are too busy to stop him & it's one of their way out off his tantrums sometimes. That's two different instances where adults were in control and not in situations with kids.

    Like I said above, this situation will be more acceptable in the future. You can already see that although slowly, gay marriage is being accepted by society. It's mostly the old generation and religious ones who have problems with it The video I posted above shows that even young kids can accept it.

    Well ... as you can see from my second paragraph in #26 ... my daughter (now in her mid 40s) and my daughter in law (34) are BOTH very pleased at the result.

    You are forgetting that in a generation or two, it will be the norm, so kids will not think twice about it. Remember, for thousands of years it has been acceptable to have one dad, and many mums. That is how millions of families are to this day.

    Ancient Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Egyptians, all had same sex marriages before Christianity.

    Also, it is not that long ago since interracial marriage were illegal in a lot of countries, US for one, only banned it in 1967.

    Who cares? It's as if divorce is a sin to the world. These people do live in the past.

    Nobody, probably. If they do get divorced and carry on living together aren't they committing a sin in the eyes of God?

    Quite rightly so. And let them experience why people want to get legally married. Let them experience all the legal rights taken away from them once they get divorced! But obviously, this couple have no idea or didn't do enough research about divorce. According to Australia's Family Act, they need to be separated for 12 months before divorce can be granted.
