Government Acts
The Issue
The commercial release of the controversial children's book 'Heather Has Two Mommies' in Ghettoria Nation has sparked debate over laws concerning the adoption of children by homosexual couples.
The Debate
"I don't care what these so-called scientific studies say,"
says Violet du Pont, representing a number of conservative religious organisations.
"How can a boy hope to develop properly into a man if he's being brought up by
poofs? A father figure is not supposed to behave as if it is 'okay' to be, um,
romantically invested in another man - and the same goes for lesbians! Why?
Because it is not okay. It'll just give them gay! Think about it: say you have
two gay lions - they can't have children because nature did not provide them
with the tools and if God wanted gays to have kids then they would have those
tools. Don't legalise this blasphemy! Think of the children!"
"This just doesn't go far enough in my opinion,"
grumbles Gregory Nagasawa an ardent opponent to homosexuality.
"The more concessions we give these people, the more they'll reduce our nation
to the most embarrassing gayfest of all the_south_pacific! We'll be a joke!
Homosexuality is a sin, and not only that it's a disease of society and there's
no two ways about it. It must be criminalised and those responsible hanged just
like in the good old days."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
"I cannot understand for the life of me why anyone could possibly be against
this,"
complains Jacob Kantelberg, showing up at your office wearing a pink feather boa.
"Bart and I are good and caring people and will make excellent fathers, so
what's the problem? All of the scientific studies have shown that there's no
difference in the wellbeing of children raised by gay and straight couples. All
that's holding these little darlings back from the happy family life that they
deserve is the outdated prejudices of some prudes. All we want is to adopt a
child to call our own. It'll be fabulous!"
