I agree that such a paragraph would be offensive. Society can hardly be
in the business of denying adoption to pro-homosexual heterosexual parents.
And yes, while Erik's post was offensive, since Erik's posts carry an a
risk I would generally rather not take of reading certain four-letter words
I would generally rather not read, I don't usually read them. So,
fortunately reading this insult second-hand made it sting a little less
some how.
