Show me a society that has come to ruins because of gay rights?
That's because there's really only a small handful of anti-gay posters here, and they're unable to answer you. The rest of us agree with you: No society has ever come to ruins because of gay people.

[1] Please ask me whatever you want. I will certainly answer your question honestly. No holds barred.


[3] I read similar information on another site .. this one just happens to come from a wacky link off a cooking site! How bizarre. I have to laugh at this one. But i'm trying to get the info to you quickly so here it is.

Quote:
They found no basis for the conclusion that children raised by homosexual parents fare just as well as those raised by heterosexual parents. They found serious methodological flaws in each of the studies examined, including inadequate sample size, biased sample selection, lack of proper control groups and the failure to account for confounding variables indeed, the AAP's own report began with this statement, "Accurate statistics regarding the number of parents who are gay or lesbian are impossible to obtain."
Children raised by stable married heterosexual homes do better then raised in any other type of household. | Taste of Home Community

I'll certainly find the "study" if that's what you want. But I think the information in the link is pretty clear.

50% .. ok some people don't get along. That's just the way it is.... but 50% do.

Here's a link that's a pretty interesting one. Mull this over.

The Lawyers Christian Fellowship - Evidence of damage to children raised in same-sex households

Quote:
Children raised in homes with both mothers and fathers navigate the developmental stages more easily, are more solid and secure in their sense of self and in their sense of gender identity, perform better in the school system, have fewer social and emotional problems and become better functioning adults.

Anti-gay doesn't mean anti-human.

I detest the act, not the person. The person is psychologically flawed. And they have my empathy.

I believe the reason why a gay individual would see my opposition as "against them" is because they have TIED AND WRAPPED THEIR SEXUAL IDENTITY into their self identification.

that's the only conclusion i can come to.

How do you get 50%


Fifty Percent of American Marriages End in Divorce-Fiction!

The national average in 2005 was 3.6% per 1,000 people. That is a yearly basis. If you extrapolate that out, it is impossible to have 50% over the life of a marriage, given the yearly stats.


Divorce is actually on the decline. People are making better choices in mates, and developing less selfish expectations of eachother. It's called love.

Euromutt and yikesamillion like to target two groups - gays and blacks (possibly more groups) - and I defend the targeted groups every time.

Yes yes yes, I love to target all sorts of groups.

You left out illegal immigrants, those unwelcome criminals that milk our welfare system, steal people's identities, overcrowd hospital waiting rooms without any kind of insurance, and have their anchor babies over here for them to become automatic citizens and take more of our welfare money.

It's quite ironic how most illegals are of hispanic origin, so that must mean I am bigoted against hispanics and love to target them.

How heart warming. I appreciate your empathy,but more qualified people have determined I'm not psychologically flawed. Flash your credentials - or are you just an armchair critic?
