The recent survey commissioned by the Church authorities shows that 80 per cent plus of respondents are against adoption by gay couples. I was under the impression, however, that these same authorities oppose this because it goes against “the best interests of the child”.

Now, if the survey results showed that the majority approved of such adoptions, I am sure that the Church authorities would still have insisted on “the best interests of the child”.

So, I ask, why commission the survey in the first place?
