Of course he has. The reality is politics "taints" scientific research. The nllfs is an organization that published a study of the children of lesbian couples. Their findings were that lebian mothers are better mothers than heterosexual women. They concluded the children of lesbians are better adjusted than those raised by heterosexuals. What's more they concluded there are no issues whatsoever with lesbian raised children even in divorce. Remarkable. It was also reported "as fact" without any questioning of the data.
No one ever questioned this organization, it's researchers, it's fundings, nothing. At one point they had the research paper open on their website. It's well they no longer allow that because I read the research. It was a crappy study. To call this study junk science is something of an understatement. The control groups weren't matched for either educational attainment, social class, or region of country.
None of this was questioned because the mainstream media has already made up it's "collective mind" so to speak.
Good thing I question any study until I read its methods and documentation. As such, for the study that the article you linked to mentioned, I've yet to find the actual study itself, so I can't take it as fact.
At least 40% of heterosexuals engage in those same high risk sexual behaviors. Why aren't heterosexuals forbidden from donating blood? Far more heterosexuals have promiscuous, unsafe sex, than gays, purely by population differences.
Either the medical professionals are all wrong............or your statistics are wrong. I have to wonder..........
According to the cdc (http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/docs/FastFacts-MSM-FINAL508COMP.pdf - broken link) it's still homosexual men who account for nearly half of all new hiv infections this despite the fact they account for only some 3-4% of the population.

You won't find the study. They took it down. If I were them I'd have done the same thing. Even a moron like me could see thu the problems with that study, but strangely enough not for the reporters at cnn.
The reality is there are two internets. The free one we're on filled with junk and then there is the one that has all of those scientific studies you have to pay for. Pity.

Kids of lesbians have fewer behavioral problems, study suggests
June 07, 2010|By Madison Park, CNN
A nearly 25-year study concluded that children raised in lesbian households were psychologically well-adjusted and had fewer behavioral problems than their peers.
The study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, followed 78 lesbian couples who conceived through sperm donations and assessed their children's well-being through a series of questionnaires and interviews.
Funding for the research came from several lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender advocacy groups, such as the Gill Foundation and the Lesbian Health Fund from the Gay Lesbian Medical Association.
Dr. Nanette Gartrell, the author of the study, wrote that the "funding sources played no role in the design or conduct of the study.".........

I was actually referring to the study about homosexuality and lifespan. I've got the lesbian/household one.
The full study posted in the Pediatrics journal can be found here.

Not sure what you're talking about. See the above link for the full PDF on the lesbian household study. I can't seem to find the same for the homosexual/lifespan study.

You're my new hero. That's the same study by nllfs I was refering to. I appreciate the site. I've saved it, again.

Just a point a college professor once made. College students usually have access to copyrighted scientific studies thru their colleges. I used quesia, for a fee if only because it was easier.
Yeah, I lived in San Francisco. While the gays in the Castro throw a Halloween party like no other, I don't understand the parades. I'm fine with the rainbow flag, but I don't even like the Fillmore St. parade so it's not necessarily a gay thing on my part. Someone who is gay please tell me...why do you need these parades?
And why do straights in New Orleans need their Mardi Gras parades?
I'm 34 and i'm gay and i've only been with one guy and that was four years ago and i've been out since age 25, known i was gay since i was a child and i an NOT ugly, as a matter of fact i've been told I'm one of the best looking gay guys in my community.
I happen to believe that sex is meant to be with someone you actually love and i am deeply spiritual and believe that sex is not the main purpose in life. I do not LOOK DOWN on people who have sex with lots of people, i just think that we have different beliefs.
Yet for some reason i can't donate blood and i'm told that i'm a 'pervert' by people on discussion boards the very second i reveal that i'm gay and it's assumed that i have aids etc.
Blame your gay "brothers", don't come whining to us.

from all I have read and heard, you are closer to right than wrong.

Have you been to a Mardi Gras parade? I certainly wouldn't call them straight parades...
