Northern Ireland health minister Edwin Poots has insisted his controversial opposition to gay adoption is entirely natural.

Man and woman should raise children, the senior Democratic Unionist said.

The minister has tried to challenge an appeal court’s decision that paved the way for gay and lesbian couples to adopt children in the region. That bid was thrown out by the UK’s highest court, the Supreme Court. …

This is the only time in my life I have supported a Unionist in Northern Ireland.

"The Commission challenged the law on the grounds that certain provisions were unjustifiably discriminatory to those in homosexual relationships, in contravention of the European Convention on Human Rights."

And this is exactly where Obama and his minions are taking us!

Europe is irrelevant - its achievements are all in the past. It is not producing enough children to sustain its population - with one exception.

The Moslems who are invading Europe are multiplying like bunnies - in a couple of decades they will undo Poitiers and Lepanto.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Eagles Up! Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Think about this: the “Republicans” over there are socialists. You won’t find any that are not. They have also been allied with the Islamofascists for decades.

And as for the Republic itself, Eamon de Valera sold its sovereignty to what became the European Union all the way back in 1972; the text of Ireland’s Third Amendment puts “European law” supreme above Irish law.

It is only “controversial” when the leftists don’t agree with you.

does anyone think this stance would be controversial 30 years ago?

Nothing you posted in any way effects what I said.

Was it supposed to?

Everyone in Ireland is a unionist of some form or another. No patriots exist anymore.

Correct. And the IRA was totally subverted by the marxists. Even the breakaway provosional IRA was very left-leaning. And both are very anti-semitic.

[Vanders9]

Quite true.
