Watch your language: The 'retarded homophobe'
attack was published in BAAF's Pink Guide to Adoption
for Lesbians and Gay Men
People who have concerns about the adoption of children by gay couples are 'retarded homophobes', the state-funded national adoption agency said yesterday.
Those who protest over controversial gay adoption laws are merely 'whinging', according to the British Association for Adoption and Fostering.
Its insulting description angered senior MPs and former Cabinet Ministers, Roman Catholic and Church of England leaders.
It also offended disability campaigners, who have been trying to discourage the use of the word 'retarded' for years. Whitehall has banned the word for civil servants.

Mike Judge, of the Christian Institute thinktank, said last night: 'Christians are tired of being marginalised.
