Gabi, yes, you were always good at campaigning for rights, which, most of the time, proved to be successful.

Just keep an eye open this time, to make sure that you are not taken for a ride.]]></description>

Edward, are you trying to say that there&#039;s empirical evidence to even suggest that homosexual parenting works better than a mother and a father?

Hand on heart, can you say that families should simply be indefinite groups of adults of any sexuality contriving to obtain/make/buy/adopt children and raise them because they have a &quot;right&quot;?

Logic or science apart, I hope I&#039;m pushing up daisies when it happens!]]></description>

Chris; you have absolutely no science or logic to back your argument up. While I respect your opinion, I still feel it is only right to make you aware that your opinion is as valid as &quot;the aliens built the pyramids&quot; to put it mildly.]]></description>

OK MMuscat, by your logic: because I&#039;m perfectly capable of killing someone, that makes it OK?

Whilst I fully respect your opinion, Edward, I think heterosexual couples who can&#039;t have children are inherently different from homosexual couples who can never naturally reproduce.

Adoption by unfortunate heteros is the correction of a natural mistake, adoption by homos is selfish - to put it mildly.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Just in the interest of truth may I point out that I did in fact attend St Dorothy&#039;s Convent right up until Form V.

I came across my school leaving certificate should proof be required. Also in the interest of truth, I was actually a volunteer with the ASSP, and actively involved in campaigning for the right of church schools to exist. My parents hosted lessons in our house. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Even though they are never mentioned, AD should be given credit for being hte first party for gay marriage and for the removal of all forms of discrimination in social policy (ergo extending the rights of adoption). 

However I want to delve deeper into the psyche of Gabi Calleja. Knowing AD&#039;s position, why is she so ostensibly supporting PL in this campaign? How can she, pretending to be a decent and professional lobbyist, settle for less with Labour then with AD? 

Are we to expect Ms. Gabi Calleja to hold a nice post in a governments&#039; secretariat if PL wins? Maybe with Evarist Bartolo&#039;s education portofolio? Surely not with Marie-Louise Coleiro and Silvio Parnis.....

To sum it up, she is doing the greatest disservice to her community and her (let&#039;s face it) reputable organisation by going at it for her own personal gain. Pity.]]></description>
