Oh leave it to CD'ers to read into things that aren't there and blow things out of proportion.

So what was your intention? What did the level of attractiveness have anything to do with the boy being adopted by a gay couple? What does attractiveness have to do with any of it?

Well please explain the point you were trying to make in your OP then, because that's exactly how it came across.

attractiveness was simply an observation. All I have to say is what I originally said, I did not read into it any further than the words I originally stated. I just felt like talking about it, because so often people don't say what's on their mind to be politically correct.

I know of two gay couples who adopted children. I didn't wonder about it so as to go posting it on CD. Why was it on your mind? Why this particular child and this particular couple? It's no longer uncommon for gay couples to adopt a child older or younger, male or female. Children get adopted everyday.

What does it have to do with being politically correct?

No, what you got was a verbal whopping for trying to pass off an obviously dirty and biased observation as somethings serious and worthy of discussion.

I watched the news link posted and there is absolutely nothing creepy about the whole family, absolutely nothing. The family is fine, it's you who are sick.

when did I ever say the word creepy? Perhaps others are sick who are reading into things that are not there.
