I DID ANSWER your questions from that article - remember?
Your LIES don't do you any credit.
Stop before you dig yourself even deeper. I know you'll never admit telling porky pies even though most are still there to see in that thread.
How about you look up this Journal article below and tell us your thoughts on the section titled
Misleading Representations of Research
which discusses how research, that only compared intact married families with low conflict with single mother families, was used. It starts on the 3rd page.
From The Journal of Marriage and Family Volume 72, Issue 1, pages 3–22, February 2010
The entrenched conviction that children need both a mother and a father inflames culture wars over single motherhood, divorce, gay marriage, and gay parenting. Research to date, however, does not support this claim. Contrary to popular belief, studies have not shown that "compared to all other family forms, families headed by married, biological parents are best for children" (Popenoe, quoted in Center for Marriage and Family, p. 1).
Research has not identified any gender-exclusive parenting abilities (with the partial exception of lactation). Our analysis confirms an emerging consensus among prominent researchers of fathering and child development. The third edition of Lamb's (1997) authoritative anthology directly reversed the inaugural volume's premise when it concluded that "very little about the gender of the parent seems to be distinctly important" (p. 10). Likewise, in Fath-erneed, Pruett (2000), a prominent advocate of involved fathering, confided, "I also now realize that most of the enduring parental skills are probably, in the end, not dependent on gender" (p. 18).
No, no, continue the story. I wanna know what happened after you stopped that semi with your bare hands and hurled it through the air. And was that before the elves attacked you, or after?
Of course it would be. One of my Girl Scout troop volunteers was a lesbian who lived with her partner. Even in the buckle of the Bible Belt, we all spent the night. Somehow we all managed to walk out of it unscathed.
I would hold no more qualms letting my child go on a Scouting trip with a gay or lesbian leader than I would letting them stay over at a friend's house with a parent of the opposite gender present.
You failed to answer and changed the story into lesbians....
Heres the question again....and it needs an answer....an honest answer ( scout leaders are male...scouts are young guys
Whats your deal? would you think its ok for kids to be with homosexual scout leaders for the weekend ?
if not
then how can kids be with homosexuals at all in a society that looks out for young people?
if yes
I would be shocked
