I cannot explain my compatriot's logic. I gave up after the "anyone who says they are bisexual is a liar" comment. (Because I believe almost the reverse is true.)
Her (Lowri is a girl's name) assertation that only people with children engage with public services, therefore only those who have managed to spawn are fit for public life is blatantly on crack. I mean to borrow a completely cliched return argument - well in the 80's and 1990's due to the HIV eperdemic a hell of a lot of gay men suddenly found themselves or their partners relying on the NHS and social services. Funding for poly-drug treatment and pallitive care for the terminally ill becme big issues for the gay community.
Also she seems to assume that only men are homosexual, or at least only men should aspire to such important positions that their sexuality matters.
Why she feels that way - the Welsh valleys were a hell culture based on the almost comlete segregation of the sexes, presbyterian chapels offering judgement and hellfire and rampant homophobia. She probably grew up thinking her views were normal and commonsense, much like an 1860's southern belle would assume logic dictated her African slaves were sub human.
