I agree with your statement. I feel that they want to instil the impression that they are the norm and heterosexuals are not.

Hats off to a true gentleman and a real statesman. Joseph Muscat will go down in history, but for the wrong reasons. He will be remembered as the antithesis of the true leaders that made Malta, such as Eddie Fenech Adami and Lawrence Gonzi. Simon Busuttil is quietly and humbly leading the way, and gaining credibility every day.]]></description>

Well said.  Baħar jaqsam bejn it-tnejn.  Dr Gonzi jaħdem għal pajjiżu u l-ieħor  biex jintefaħ aktar milli  hu u jħaxxen bwietu u dawk tal-qalba. 

Giddieb prima kwalità, jikser kull regola basta tgħaddi tiegħu. 

Qed jgħallimhom tajjeb it-tfal tiegħu jekk jieħdu l-eżempju tiegħu!  Dr Gonzi kien jgħidilna imma kien hemm min ma riedx jisma&#039; għax ried bidla. U l-bidla ħadniha ...gas down ġol-ħajt. Xejn aktar u xejn anqas.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Most are uncomfortable with having same-sex unions being put on par with marriage.  Even more people are very uncomfortable giving same-sex couples the right to adopt.

Many people, however they vote, are very uncomfortable with having the values of a minority being imposed on our society.   I am angry that the Member of Parliament I voted for was booed outside parliament.    

I have friends who are gays and lesbians and I have no problem with that.  What I have a problem with is that the NGO that represents them has become an adjunct to the PL and has allowed the gay and lesbian community to be used in a political chess game.  

At the rate we are going, gays and lesbians will be disliked and marginalised not because of their sexual orientation but because of the way their values have been imposed, while the values of the vast majority of people have been side-lined and ignored.

For every action there is a reaction, and this will create a backlash of resentment and anger.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Could not agree any more.

Unfortunately this counterargument is used as a red herring against the lobbyists for adoption by same-sex couples. It just does not follow.

Only a close inspection of each an every couple, conventional or not, should determine the couple&#039;s capability to care for a child unto adulthood.

Labour xinxilli aside, I miss Dr Gonzi&#039;s direct speech without rhetoric and his constancy.]]></description>
