[quote=BBC]The news that lesbian couples in England and Wales who start a family through fertility treatment can now place both their names on the birth certificate has been welcomed by a gay couple with children.[/quote]
hip hip hur-rah
Hot.
Great if you are a lesbian in the UK
Only in the UK.
Good, why the fuck is this just happening? It's the year 2009, I thought we evolved enough as a society to allow people to do whatever they want in terms of sexuality. During Ancient Greece, it was accepted so why the fuck are we going back?

Because God said so.

Because this isn't Ancient Greece and in Ancient Greece they didn't have developments in science that allowed people to artificially get fertilized.

Not really the same thing.
The right to be lesbian and the right to lesbian artificial insemination are different issues.

Is artificial insemination the term I'm looking for? That's like what you do to a horse
I don't think lesbians are horses

Because Ancient Greece isn't everywhere, and two women having children is a rather new concept.

it's a conundrum

The Greeks were okay with pedophilia, so either you accept both or neither, or you stop using past civilizations as a measuring stick.

You are mistaken.

What happens in the UK stays in the UK.

I'm for this by the way

That's because there was a lower chance of birth complications. And since the average lifespan was 35 years.
I just believe we've evolved enough as a society to give the same rights as straight men/women to every other sexuality there is.
[QUOTE=Melkor;17057877]That's because there was a lower chance of birth complications. And since the average lifespan was 35 years.[/QUOTE]
A birth complication is a birth complication no matter how long you live.
it is a complication at birth.
[QUOTE=MR-X;17057910]A birth complication is a birth complication no matter how long you live.

And there was a lower chance of it for younger women.

They do have the same rights- Straight people can't have same-sex marriages either.

You're right, doing little boys up the rear does have very little chance of birth complications, unlike impregnating young girls, which is very dangerous to the mother.

Glad you see it our way.

Oh yeah that makes it perfectly okay...
[QUOTE=mugofdoom;17058162]Oh yeah that makes it perfectly okay...[/QUOTE]
Never said it was okay.
Nor do I really care since using morality as a basis for law is foolish.
[QUOTE=lmaoboat;17057923]They do have the same rights- Straight people can't have same-sex marriages either.
[/QUOTE]
That defeats the purpose of being straight.

The excuses kind of implied it. But whatever.

I mean, sexuality was fairly open and it wasn't that much of a taboo thing, yet gays are still inferior in terms of the laws we have.
Hey guys, I just got a great idea for a Porno...
[QUOTE=mugofdoom;17058221]The excuses kind of implied it. But whatever.[/QUOTE]
I'm saying that morality stems from survival.

That's what I'm saying, it's ridiculous how Christianity has affected our culture in the year 2009. We've civilized enough to realize that sexuality should be a persons choice and they shouldn't be persecuted because of it.
