Comments on Homosexual male and female having baby causes outrage

This is a telling example of the errosion of free speach in this country…

From The San Fransisco Chronicle:

Pete Wilson, Bay Area TV news anchor and radio talk-show host, devoted much of the first hour of his radio show Tuesday afternoon to commentary on the decision by San Francisco Supervisor Bevan Dufty, who is gay, to have and raise a child with a friend who is a lesbian.

“I do not now nor have I ever accepted the idea that a baby is a toy, that it is a social science project or a possession. A baby is a human being, a delicate thing, our past, present and future. It is not an experiment. It is not an opportunity to see how far you can carry your views on parenting, alternative lifestyles or diversity in family structures.”

“Look around you, folks. You think the high divorce rate in this country has been, generally speaking, good for kids? So, why not start out divorced? See if that’ll work.”

“Here’s an idea: We’ll have a 49er impregnate a team cheerleader, and they can raise a mascot. No, it’s better not to be in love. You’ll be much better parents if all that silly emotional stuff doesn’t get in the way ….”

Wilson did not apologize for his comments, which he made Tuesday afternoon during a talk radio show he hosts on KGO-AM before anchoring the local news each night on ABC 7. But he did say Thursday that his language was “inappropriate.”

“I let some of my argument move toward the personal. Some of it was inappropriate, some was talk radio sarcastic cheap-shotting, and I did it several times. That was wrong and unfortunate,” Wilson said in an interview. “I still believe the argument is a perfectly appropriate argument. I think the argument needs to take place about the number of directions we have gone with parenting and children.”

Wilson said he supports same-sex marriage and adoption for same-sex couples and single parents. His problem with the decision by Dufty, who is gay, to have a baby with a friend who is a lesbian is that the couple have no romantic attachment.

“It may be perfectly fine in Bevan Dufty’s case, but is this the direction we want to go?” he said.

Dufty’s friend, Rebecca Goldfader, gave birth to their daughter, Sidney, last week. Goldfader and Dufty plan to move in together after the November election, in which Dufty is running to retain his board seat.

“The Dufty-Goldfader baby is, in my mind, a travesty. Or a potential travesty. Perhaps that’s a better way of saying it,” Wilson said during the first hour of his Tuesday radio program.

“At some point, there is a limit to how far we stretch the self-indulgent search for the alternative that we have been involved in the last 30 or 40 years in this country,” he said later in the show.

Wilson said he had criticized celebrities having children without a romantic partner, though he had not devoted a show to the topic of platonic co-parenting. His argument seemed like a personal attack to many people, though, and four city supervisors called for his resignation from the top of the City Hall steps.

Also demanding that Wilson quit were Supervisors Tom Ammiano, Ross Mirkarimi and Chris Daly.

Wilson having both a talk show and an anchor position creates a conflict of interest, Peskin said.

“KGO has a responsibility to deal with that conflict, and I think the way you deal with that is a resignation,” Peskin said.

This is just gotten ridiculous, it has gotten to the point if you insult a minority you lose your job. Certainly people will push to have you removed from your job. This is not public discourse people this is the Left shutting down disenting opinion. You cannot have an opinion on Illegal Aliens, Homosexuals, women, or “people of color” in this country that is not politically correct.

This has gotten completely out of control, you do not have a right not to be insulted!! You do not have a right to be free from exposure to religion!!!

This country is coming apart at the seams people and we better turn it around.

That said, I completely agree with him, purposely having children out of wedlock is a horrible concept; even for a heterosexual. Why start out divorced, because you think you have the right to have a baby? A baby is a responsibility not a stuffed animal.

Now the homosexual angle…well, I don’t want children involved in that lifestyle in any way shape or form. It is even worse, when it is a homosexual male and a homosexual female! How far are we going to push the envelope on the concept of the “untraditional” family? I for one am a traditionalist person and that makes sense to me.

All this idiocy since the 60s has been a failed experiment. From child rearing to education, multiculturalism, socialism (an intermediate step to communism), free love, easy divorce, etcetera… See if you can come up with more failed hippy concepts.

When something works for hundreds and some thousands of years, why mess with it? This reminds me of something my grand pappy used to say; if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
