All these familys that you read about that have a Mum & Dad that abuse and mis-treat thier children is the worry not whether same sex parents should have the right to bring up a child.
Exactly.

Just 60 babies adopted last year in England | Society | The Guardian

If I was a orphan, rather than a miserable chilhood spent in care, I'd much rather be part of a loving family.
Regardless of the gender of the parents.

From all the details you posted about him, besides him being as 'gay as a lord', lots of people will sadly now know exactly who you mean.

Did you ask, before discussing his life, on a public forum?

If you'd have said as 'gay as a boy wearing a Roman style frock', we'd have known what you meant.

Maybe so, but I havn't said any derogatory about the guy, I've just said what anyone who actually knows him probably already know.

Flashy, if a child of mine turned out to be gay, no, I couldn't "blame" the environment. But as I said many posts ago, environment might have an effect in some cases.

If I put one of these in my post will it make it seem more light-hearted? I have a feeling it's getting too serious!

You've discussed the sexuality of someone, who from all the details you gave, is easily identifiable.

That is bang out of order.

Unless you asked, if he, and his family mind their private business being discussed on a public forum?

Googling nob in a frock, and posting the result?

Privacy's very important to some people.

I bet the person you discussed in so much detail thinks that too.

It's amazing that one (what I thought was an) innocent post can lead to this. I suggest we call a truce!

No, everyone's laughing.

It's ages since we've had a simple-minded soul wander into the village.

Don't give up your day job, by the way.

There'll never be much call for a Bangles tribute band round these parts.
