Commenting on “Turnbull's gay marriage swipe”
http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/political-news/turnbulls-gay-marriage-swipe-20120706-21mou.html
Custody matter is very messy for many divorce opposite-sex couples. After the parents have gone through those very ugly and nasty divorce processes, a lot of the children suffer immense psychological trauma. These are children born as a result of the union of their biological parents. Due to many factors, including holding strong views of uncompromising I’ism and love for materialistic ownership instead of relationship, couples start to drift apart. Unfortunately, the number of divorces is on the increase.
For gay couples, the so-called children are “created” or “conceived” in laboratory and later “implanted” by surgery. The “ownership” of children will always be an issue, either morally or legally. A child of a same sex couple not only has no less than two fathers or two mothers in physical sense, they may have additional father or mother who donates the sperm or egg. The child may also have an additional surrogate mother who carries the embryo. Assuming that statistics does not lie, more than 30% of same sex-couple marriage will end in divorce, and if so, all hell breaks loose when custody is decided upon.
At least one of the same-sex partners has no biological kinship with their “child”, and the parents’ divorce may cause the child’s identity turn upside down. The child may feel betrayed not only by their parents, but also by the society and all the professionals who allow such union and operations to proceed.
