I can imagine your surprise at perceiving that things in the UK are not as progressive as in New Zealand. New Zealand is a country which has never done things by halves, it seems to me. You debate issues passionately, you have as great a proportion of nay-sayers as we do, but if something gets carried, then that's it, there's no looking back.

Have a wonderful Civil Partnership day!

My partner and I are a male couple living in New Zealand, and over the last 11 years we have fostered about 20 children with the full support of family, friends, social workers and the legal system! Our youngest (a nephew to my partner) had just turned six when he moved in with us and is now 16! My partner is even the chairperson of our local school board, and we are totally 'out' in our community, and no we do not live in a well-off area of our city, in fact our neighbourhood is fairly much a blue-collar and can be rough in areas.

I would say to all you folk in the UK, keep pushing those boundaries and there is no end to what you will acomplish! Live your lives with pride and not in fear.

Erik

PS. Only one of the kids has turned out to be gay… all the others are WAY too heterosexual for their own good (we're talking hot and cold running boyfriends and girlfriends and all the teen dramas here!).

Tom, who woudl have him??? If he has a wife, he must have picked her up at an out patient clinic, or else she's Helen Keller. Seriously, this Skinner creature is beyond salvation, the rest of humanity left him behind. The reason he has an issue with evolution, is because he's not as evolved as the rest of us.

Still if I'm banding my head of a wall with him, I do it in the knowledge he's doing the same with a great sense of futility. That and the cheap giggle I get from the fact he hasn't the marbles to keep up with even the most basic argument. Its like watching a car crash…

And, yes, he does have an obsession with sodomy – maybe that's the cause of his self-hate?

Thanks for the Telegraph link

Did you know that David Skinner is a member in good standing of MyPinkNews? Check out his profile by clicking on 'MY' on the front page.

We can take it for granted that he is all ears on each and every thread, occassionally 'cutting & pasting' when he's done a bit of 'research'.

I do believe he thinks of it as his 'calling' to 'straighten' us out, no matter what, 'cause we are such 'clever devils'.

As TomPaine, Will, Simon Murphy and the others have said time and again, he has a right to voice his opinion, but not all opinions are of equal value. He's way out of his league…and you know the rest…God will put words in his mouth…z-z-z-z-z-z-z.

Jesus F–king Christ and Almighty Mohammed Allah! David Skinner exists on the same level as that insane hysterical and very dangerous mama in that video where a young gay man is subjected to the most horrific trauma. Skinner and that Mama are ONE AND THE SAME! The same low impoverishedand brainwashed form of life!

F–k off to your church Skinner, wiggle your tongue with gobbledegook, go into hysterics, and convince yourself that someone up there actually loves you . . . because I am as sure as death itself that nobody down here does!

Nail on the head, Lezabella. He just doesn't seem to have the capability to answer a question…. the hallmark of someone boxing above their weight, as they say.

And interesting you point out his obsession with male homosexuality, I only noticed that after you mentioned it…. or to be accurate, his obsession with "sodomy"…. I wonder if anyone as told him obsessions like that are not "normal" for a so called "heterosexual". Without question, Skinner should be under medical observation, there seem to be very little "normal" about him, not least his diminished capacity.

There is no 'seasoned debate' with you as you make one statement based on 'God', we refute it, debunk it via scientific fact or other means so then you move on to another subject. You jump from one topic to another and take absoloutely no notice of the answers we give you. That's not debate. That's you ranting and us trying to catch up and correct your latest rant which has no relation to the first!

For example, Will has already stated that evolution is not just a 'theory', the word "theory" in normal usage means a guess or a hunch. But in science, a "theory" is a belief that has been generally accepted by scientists as a result of actual experimentation and/or observation and yet you stil, choose to dismiss is as it proves the Bible's teachings as incorrect. So seriously, what's the point in debating you? You don't listen. Your 'debating style' consists of spouting off one topic, ignoring the answer, then spouting off another, ignoring the answer again, David it's circular and has no point

" can spot a black man at a quarter of mile, whereas a sodomite has to tell me ; he has to “ out “ himself; or some else has to “out” him" – You have a serious obsession and infatuation with gay men. This is an LGBT website, with LGBT people, me and Iris are both lesbians, and yet you still focus on male homosexuality; I think you should ask yourself why.

Also, David, since you're so knowledgeable about 'sodomites' in the Bible, what happens to a heterosexual man who has anal sex with a woman? Is he too, a sodomite?

If you directly answer any of my points listed above, I would enjoy a debate, but we all know that you won't. You'll spout something compeletely off topic to try and engage me in another of your run arounds.

So, everyone, anymore Daily Hate websites?

You're not doing anything wrong, my friend. I admire you, I really do, you know that. I just don't like to see Skinner pulling your leg just so he can get some attention. He is a troll.

On the up-side, take a minute and read a new-comer on the threads: John M.J.

You will find him at the very end of the thread entitled 'Senior Church of England Bishop says gays must 'repent and be changed'. And bring Skinner with you, by all means.

Don't ever let us us stop you from being who you are, OK.

So, if you have nothing constructive to say to show up this Skinner for the fool he is, please do not object to others when they are doing it for you.
