Ah yes. Encourage the deviants to adopt children and then appear shocked and appalled when homosexual pedofiles run rampant across the country.
Oh please, I am not proposing any legislative changes. I am proposing that we do not bother to argue the point with liberals. They know where we stand and we don’t need to waste time or effort arguing with them.
Who are the liberals we are arguing with?
Sorry, but I’m afraid I don’t know what you are talking about.
