Elton John and his partner have become parents, with the birth (by a surrogate mother) of a baby boy.

Last year in the Ukraine, they were turned down from adopting because the Ukraine did not accept civil partnerships and also because of his age, he was then quoted as saying :

/// "David always wanted to adopt a child and I always said no because I am 62 and I think because of the travelling I do and the life I have, maybe it wouldn't be fair for the child" ///.

So what's changed?

lol he has, he's given up alot to provide a home for his family.

Are you saying this country is not as good as the Ukraine?

He is to old and it is not normal.

[dotty.]

what isn't normal? a surrogate birth? adopting privately? adopting when you are older?

[sammmo]

It's about the people themselves, not their age or their sexuality.
Thats what jan1957 wrote..I just pointed out thats actually a wrong thing to say..50yrs ago 2 queers having a kid would have been unheard of.. but now its OK.. So who said its OK?

[dotty.]

how do you know it didn;t happen 50 years ago? Are you saying that gay people did not exist then?

Fortunately, the world is moving on, sammmo.........you'll just have to get used to it.

Anyone who is not a bigot says it's ok. I was talking about homosexuals and lesbians, not paedophiles, as you well know! Some of us have moved on with the times and are not still walking with dinosaurs. You are now just stirring and not worth conversing with.

Sodom and Gomorrah is alive flourishing.

[dotty.]

eh? I've heard of living in the past but that is ridiculous. lol sad, very sad, you give my generation a bad name,

[sammmo]

dotty If it did happen it would have been kept quiet and done in secret because it was wrong in those days..
JTH the world does move on but I don't have to agree with the way thing are going..
jan1957.. If saying what you believe in makes you a bigot your one too..

[Jan1957]

I think you mean you're, not your.

[jackthehat]

ASSAM - *are* alive and flourishing, tut...........

sammmo - Just because things that weren't done 'then' are done now (and vice versa) doesn't make progress wrong. You're the one out of step, thank goodness.

[dotty.]

no, I don;'t think that trying to explain to someone that people can be of any sexual orientation they choose is being a bigot, it is being enlightening and tolerent.

[sammmo]

Got to go now.. sorry if i've offended any of you.. or spelt anything else wrong..this old fashioned bigots going to bed.. on earlies tomorrow.. progress is'nt always a good thing.. and they are too old.. good night

Jack ( is alive and ) Batty boys even have big parades in Brighton and Manchester and have no shame.

[jackthehat]

Two places, therefore *are* alive...........

No need for shame, either.

Could be that Michael Jackson's demise had something to do with their thinking; after all Jackson is one of the four names (excl. the surname) for the boy, number two I think.......

[ASSAM]

Jack should the correct English be Sodom and Gomorrah is alive and flourishing ?

[jackthehat]

No.
They were two separate cities............Sodom and Gomorrah *are* alive.........

[jaydah]

since neither will say who is the bio father, would their sperm be mixed for the surrogacy ?
