Birth Certificate Changes in UK

Two women have become the UK nation’s first female 'couple' to jointly sign a child’s birth certificate as parents, but critics are concerned that the move has more to do with the rights of adults rather than the best interests of children. Until recently birth certificates have recorded the names of a child’s biological mother and father, but now a new UK law permits two same-sex parents to be named. Natalie Woods and Elizabeth Knowles jointly signed the birth certificate at Brighton Register Office.

There is something fundamentally and basically wrong here. We talk very glibly and in a shallow manner, about 'gay rights' and yes, everybody has rights. Some rights are for the good of the individual, and some rights are reserved for the good of society, or community. Sometimes the good of the community has to supercede the rights of any individuals. There are many examples of this in action. However, we seem to have lost this concept when dealing with the 'gay' question. 

What about the child in this case? What rights does this child have? By all accounts, not the right to know the father. (That may not even be known, but that question is for another time)! Not the right to have a balanced upbringing. Not the right as an individual, because that right has been taken over by two activists (yes they are gay activists, not your 'ordinary' anxious and childless couple) who will use this young precious life to further their own ends, and make their own point. Selfish? You bet they are!! Loving? Never! They don't know the meaning of the word! No really loving person would EVER use a child to make their own selfish point! Under any other situation, they would be jailed, but we will give them headline news coverage, and claim that we are moving on with our society. What kind of backward thinking is that?  

What does that good old book say, "if you sow the wind, then you will reap the whirlwind"! Hey, those are wise words, but our society is fast losing its values, and has already thrown its moral compass away. Annoyed? Angry? You bet I am. What will the lives of our children and grandchildren be like in 20 or 40 years? What kind of country will we have left them? Certainly not a more balanced and moral one! "When you open the floodgates, you can't tell the water where to go"!
