Gay unions a 'risk to kids'
May 13^th, 2012 at 7:07am

Gay unions a 'risk to kids', claims Victoria's deputy chief psychiatrist

doctors lobbying the Federal Government to ban same-sex marriage.

Professor Kuravilla George, who is Victoria's deputy chief psychiatrist and the State Government's equal opportunities champion, claims that gay marriage poses a health risk to society.

In a letter to the Senate's inquiry into marriage equality, the group of doctors wrote that it was "important for the future health of our nation" to retain the definition of marriage as being between a man and woman.

"We submit the evidence is clear that children who grow up in a family with a mother and father do better in all parameters than children without," they wrote.

News of the letter, revealed in today's Sunday Herald Sun, follows Attorney-General Nicola Roxon's announcement yesterday that she would vote for gay marriage when the chance came later this year.

Ms Roxon was speaking as thousands of Australians held protest marches across the country calling on Ms Gillard to change her stance after US President Barack Obama said that same sex couples should be able to wed.

Australia passed an amendment to its laws in 2004 explicitly defining marriage as between a man and woman, but there are several bills before the parliament calling for the right to be extended to same-sex couples.

Most Single parent households still allow the child to visit the other parent. so your argument has no grounds and its not just the seeing both parents factor it also has to do with what a normal family environment is, many single parents often seek a new partner in their life so the child has both male and female role models in their lives.

but as expected i didn't think a greeny would think of the children. Homosexuality is turning out to have more and more to do with ones selfish needs.

Children where one parent has dies
Children born of surrogate mothers
Children where one parent is not allowed to see the child (i.e imprisonment)

Should these children be left at risk of mental illness, or should they be taken away and put into a oppose sex couple marriage home?

Greeny will you get of your agenda of selfishness, Think of the Children.
Single Parents do seek partners allowing children to have both male and female influences in the child's life.

It totally stumps me why two men should want to adopt a baby anyway. I think that kid has a fair chance of developing a dysfunctional personality.

SOME singles may seek partners. Most dont have time cause they are too busy looking after kids and working to pay for kids.

Not just religious people, and "scared" is the wrong term.

I'm anything but "scared". Bemused perhaps, suspicious perhaps and probably prejudiced too to be frank, but not scared. I don't have a problem with any two people living together regardless of gender. The issue of "marriage" is irrelevant in Australia where de facto's outnumber married couples, and de facto relationships have the same legal privileges. (and same sex defacto relationships are already possible).

My only area of objection relates to gay adoption, where a gay union is regarded as just as good as a heterosexual union. It clearly is not (all other things being equal)

Then maybe you should get out more. I have many friends that are single parents and have chosen to stay single for lots of reasons. Some have had bad experiences, some just don't want to disrupt their kids lives with a string of "strangers" coming and going.
