Please source this. Becasue it's a very precise number that seems awfully low. Kinda like someone is using a 'statistic' to bolster an agenda.
Her data is from one source which reported that in 2016, here's something more recent:
Quote:
"Studies estimate that between 1 and 9 million children in the United States have at least one parent who is lesbian or gay. There are approximately 594,000 same-sex partner households, according to the 2000 Census, and there are children living in approximately 27 percent of those households" https://aamft.org/Consumer_Updates/S..._Children.aspx
Were you aware that the numbers were so incredibly low? Going to acknowledge your own lack of knowledge?
Or did you believe that 25% of kids are being raised by LGBTQ households? Not 0.004%.
Now .... be honest .... you thought it was MORE didn't you?
I never gave a thought to the number because it doesn’t matter. Who cares how many? I just care that kids deemed un-adoptable by many are now in loving, supportive homes thanks to some of the same sex couples I know. I fail to see why that’s a bad thing or why the numbers matter in the least.
How many LGBTQ households are raising children? Do you know? Have you even looked into it?
It's 114,000. Thats it.
That's it. So I'm guessing that alleged study you are allegedly referring to looked at what 10 couples? Maybe?
And as far as injustices done to lesbians I'm sure you are fully onboard with the backlash they have against MTF transgenders. It's been loud and very clear that they are NOT in favor of having trans women forced down their throats. Literally. They do not think that trans women are women.
And if you claim that it's not true or you've "never heard of that" it will show that you have little background regarding lesbian issues.
Two of my best friends are a lesbian couple, and they do in fact see me as a woman, which I am.
Not everyone in all States will have the same rights, but all people in a State should have the same rights.
What state restricts your right to move to another state?
And to play the devil's advocate ...
If a state bans gay marriage, all people in that state still have the same rights.
EG: a man wouldn't be able to marry another man regardless of if they're gay or straight..... but a gay female can marry a gay or straight man if she wants.
What state restricts your right to move to another state?
Clearly none, but same-sex couples legally married in States who allow it will not have to move to enjoy the same marriage protections offered by their State to heterosexual couples. Unless the State removes marriage protections for ALL, their rights are now ensured. Good.
Rights don’t end with who can marry who. Lots of protections/rights are available to just married people. And the law will say they have to be available to ALL married people in a State regardless of whether or not the State allows civil same-sex marriage.

etc.
Luckily such a stupid system doesn't exist as their is federal legislation. You just outlined exactly why it had to be enacted.
