You didn't notice that the OP already exploited the "divide"? Of course not.

Your logic is completely illogical.

Doesn't surprise me.

The overwhelming statistical evidence proves that children do best when raised by an intact heterosexual couple.

Of course, no one is allowed to say that. Why let facts get in the way of emotions.

This makes intuitive sense. If you're an orphan or abandoned child you already feel like you're at a disadvantage from your peers by not having parents. Then when you get adopted you get adopted into an abnormal setting, thus the picture or a dream of a mom and dad is now permanently crushed.

Children with same-sex parents prone to suicide, study reveals :: Catholic News Agency (CNA)

Quote:
A study presented at the symposium in Mexico, “Homosexual Adoption: What Science Has Discovered,” revealed that most children adopted by same-sex couples display “greater levels of stress,” and suffer from “suicidal tendencies and attempts.”

The symposium was organized by the Mexican Institute on Sexual Orientation, “Renacer,” in order to provide scientific information about homosexuality, homosexual adoptions and their impact on child development.

During a presentation on research conducted by George A. Rekers, Professor of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Science at the University of South Carolina, the presenters noted that “boys and girls adopted by lesbian and homosexual couples show a greater level of stress than that which is already generated by their status as orphans or children abandoned by their biological parents.” They added that this situation “produces diverse trauma and behavioral disorders that can even lead to suicidal tendencies or attempts.”

“According to various studies containing testimonies from children of homosexual parents, most them of admit to suffering strong emotions, such as fear, anxiety, apprehension, shame and anger in trying to hide from their friends and relatives the homosexuality of their father or mother,” they continued.

*LMAO* Your own link points to a major problem with the study. The author of the flawed study didn't even know how to use controls correctly.

I'm sure the MSM and liberal academics would find something to pick out. The findings still have merit. If it makes you feel better lesbians are better parents than gays.
