      I don’t agree with Richard Littlejohn that a man & woman would necessarily raise a child better than a gay couple. But he is entitled to express his opinion in our free country, and his opinion is not homophobic. CenterParcs need to get a grip.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43093154 …

      The problem, as you well know, is that his opinion is expressed in a national publication and is intended to demean and oppress another group of human beings and CentreParcs have acted accordingly. It's not rocket science, Julia. It really isn't.

      Shall we start with the title. 'Please don't pretend two dads is the new normal'. Ho do you think that sounds Julia? Do you think it sounds like he's treating homosexual couples as equals?

      But given that the vast majority of children born are not born to two dads, using a surrogate (something which I have no issue with, BTW), then what is factually wrong with that headline?

          That said, the word “normal” is not one I would use. As I said, I disagree with his views on this. But he is entitled to express them.

          I haven't said he is not entitled to express his views. I understand the concept of freedom of speech and the reaction to his column, whatever it is, does not affect his right to it.

          The vast majority of children are not born to a dad whose name Barry. But you wouldn't write "Let's not pretend having a dad whose name is Barry is normal" would you.

          "Common" and "normal" aren't synonyms, which as a journalist you (should) know full well.

          As a journalist, I am sure that you know that “normal” can mean either “socially acceptable” or “the usual”. Since no-one is advocating that heterosexuals should give up having children, that rules out the latter, which only leaves the former. But nice try with the casuistry.

          The opposite of normal is abnormal. Something not normal is abnormal, hence the view that RL used the word deliberately in a pejorative sense. Which, of course, he and the Daily Mail did.

          What utter bollocks. You know full well “factually” doesn’t come in to it. The tone and insinuation are what causes the damage. If you would consider the Mail to be a factual publication you are monumentally ignorant.

          Julia if that statement is something we all know then & is an obvious fact then why use it? He was using normal not in a statistical sense but as in not normal = abnormal. Your equivocation is all the the more sad as you know exactly this is what he meant.

          It's just an unnecessary thing to say, unless you have a deep rooted resentment for it. It's nobody's business. Stop imposing your opinions on others. That's what it is. Sometimes it's best just to keep your opinions to yourself.

          Imagine you're 13 years old, you're gay and no one knows, you're feeling unsure about how to come out to your friends and family. Then you see the headline on a national newspaper that says 'Please don't pretend two dads is the new normal'. That's what's wrong with it.
