In Great Britain, you can be too old to raise your grandchildren by the time you hit age 46. But if you’re gay, you’re the perfect couple to raise the flesh and blood of those one-foot-in-the-grave grandparents.

Two young children are to be adopted by a gay couple, despite the protests of their grandparents. The devastated grandparents were told they would never see the youngsters again unless they dropped their opposition. …

The final blow came when they were told the children were going to a gay household, even though several heterosexual couples wanted them. When the grandfather protested, he was told: “You can either accept it, and there’s a chance you’ll see the children twice a year, or you can take that stance and never see them again.”

The man said last night: “It breaks my heart to think that our grandchildren are being forced to grow up in an environment without a mother figure. We are not prejudiced, but I defy anyone to explain to us how this can be in their best interests.”

The “mum” isn’t happy with the decision, either. “I did not under any circumstances want my children to be placed with gay men. I wanted them to have a mum and a dad.”

I have a renewed appreciation for the American Revolution that separated us from the British — but sadly, America is headed in the same perverted direction on adoption.
