Thought provoking links

This week on social media, I've chanced across two really interesting blog posts that really made me think.

The first is on why children might not necessarily be in the most ideal environment when raised by gay couples. Now it's probably different from what you're thinking of - if you are a conservative.

Arthur’s limited experience, limited above all in ability to process the world external to himself, is a crucial element in who he is, in his real personhood. An ultimate destiny in which he was suddenly ‘perfected’ (whatever that might mean) is inconceivable—for he would no longer be Arthur but some other person. His limited embodied self is what exists, and what will be must be in continuity with that.
