Even if he had no history of predatory behaviour, it would just be putting a huge temptation into his path.
Daring to even think that, might be regarded as a heinous crime and a serious slur on Loosehead's character. To me, it's logical to try and anticipate potential abuses.

How's that Loosehead? I just used your own language to imply you would abuse a child. Acceptable? Or are you feeling upset and angry at the injustice of my completely false and baseless accusation?
OMG!!! We are SO not there!!!
You are so sick. I'm sorry - that is my opinion - and i am entitled to it, as you are yours.
I can honestly say, with hand on heart, that if i had ever been in the position of needing to be fostered, i would have preferred to have been fostered by *throws hands up in disgust* LESBIANS (are we to assume that THEY would be equally tempted by me as i am female...?) rather than a 'normal' couple if the 'normal' couple had opinions like yours!
No problem Waldo, you miss the point wonderfully. Now if two blokes sharing a flat offerred foster a 14 year old girl, only 14 year old girl, refused all the other children they where offerred, would that make alam bells ring?
I won't take it personally because I know you where trying to make a point, but you miss the point entirely. If me and my partner fostered a 14 year old girl, that's would be a completely different scenario to what I describe in the previous paragraph. I have already said it's not impossible that abuse could occur but it is much more unlikely.
Standard approach eh purpose, argument exhausted, resort to slights, how long before you come with a nice name for me?
Loosehead- you asked if it would be ok for 2 men to stress they only wanted to foster 14 year old girls, the answer is obviously no.
I'm not certain but I would have thought that the 2 gay men involved didn't stress they only wanted to adopt 14 year old boys either- I guess they were just lucky (I use lucky very loosely here!) with their choice.
Er... you do know that some foster families only want toddlers..? Does that mean they want to abuse them?
Some foster families only want kids between 7-12. What about them?
Some familes only want Jewish kids, or black kids or girls or whatever. Do all of these things amount to a tacit intention to abuse? Clearly not.
You've managed to connect something Peter Tactchell said (I think you've probably misinterpretted his actual intent, but can't check the source from here - will happily contract this statement if wrong) to two people who are not Peter Tatchell and conclude this somehow constitues a gay manifesto for abuse, something it clearly isn't.
Not sure it's me who's missed the point...
I don't quite understand why two gay men abusing a teenage boy is more likely to happen than a straight foster father abusing a 14 year old girl.
Sorry..I just don't get it ~ and I don't think any amount of explaining is going to help me!
When I was 14 I was sexually abused by a straight 50 year old man. I don't ever recall of being abused by a lesbian, or anyone I know being abused by a gay person. I can only go by what I know.
