Thou shalt not express an opinion.
Now I'm off to cancel my booking at an aspirational glorified campsite with overpriced 'facilities'.

If a newspaper publishes an article having a go at gay parents, it's hardly surprising that gay people will withdraw their money from them.
Both sides are equally exercising their freedom here (just like you are). Littlejohn has freely written his opinion piece with about the same integrity and insight as he always does, and CP and the Southbank Centre have chosen not to advertise with them because they both hire large numbers of gay people and rely on the custom of gay people.

I disagree Krom, as usual you have only looked at one side.
Firstly the complaint tweeted "My son so wants me to book at your parks, but how can I do that if you support homophobia?"
Littlejohn did not express homophobia: In his article, Littlejohn said he supported civil partnerships, and would prefer a child to be fostered by "loving gay couples" rather than be "condemned to rot" in state-run institutions.
Littlejohn has expressed an opinion that I have no doubt will gel with many, particularly the Christian and Islamic religions. He is entitled to that view as are the religious.
Intolerance of other peoples views and actions on the back of one tweet is becoming far too common, it is, as Douglas says, on the verge of thought crime.

Well actually Zacs it is a fine line. They have pampered to one tweet but ignored the vast majority for what it is: a Littlejohn rant.
In doing so they have alienated quiet a few more I would imagine. Despite what liberals may think many people do not agree with same sex marriages let alone having kids in them.

Like ......errr "normal" people? No news I see about the woman who is incubating the baby. Probably American, at a price no doubt. I was under the impression that paid surrogacy was illegal in the UK. Still as long as a couple of attention seeking individuals make the "news", they are fulfilled. As Dylan sang "Lessening the distance between right and wrong".

Perhaps Centre Parcs will run a series of ads in the "Independent" or "Pink News" expressing their preferences to accommodate gay, transgender, hermaphrodites or other groups. Perhaps the LGBTQ Activists will now hold all their "events" there. Perhaps they will relax their own rules and allow alternative families to book accommodation. That will attract the "right sort" of Centre Parcs client no doubt. Would you take your children or grandchildren though?

Both Mr Black and Mr Daley will be the father (or daddy). Biologicallly, one of them will.
As to which one that is, I suspect that this is information that we don’t actually need to kept informed of.
Like for instance, when a couple you know announce that they are having a baby, you wouldn’t think to ask, “Exactly how did you conceive? Did you take her from behind or did you opt for missionary?”
Also, the word ‘expecting’ seems right to use. After all, younger couples tend to say, “We’re expecting our first child” and even “We’re pregnant”, when only one of them is physically carrying the foetus.
