Madam, - I am greatly puzzled as to why your reporter uses the term "pro-family" to describe the various groups demanding that Irish law continues to discriminate against all families that don't fit the particular model of family they uphold ("Knights oppose same-sex unions being enshrined", The Irish Times, April 29th). The true pro-family groups are those which recognise that modern families come in many different shapes and sizes which are deserving of respect and the protection of law. - Yours, etc,
PETER FITZPATRICK, Darlinghurst, NSW, Australia.
