Kids of gay parents fare worse, study finds, but draws fire from experts
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_...orse-study-finds-but-draws-fire-from-experts/

I find the closing words of the title interesting... don't you?
Goes back to my post above about not being able to ask questions... OR... provide research.


Conclusion

The articles by Marks and Regnerus have completely changed the playing field for debates about homosexual parents, "gay families," and same-sex "marriage." The myths that children of homosexual parents are "no different" from other children and suffer "no harm" from being raised by homosexual parents have been shattered forever.

There have been norms for thousands of years... man and women... and you think being in the abnormal will be better for children?

It is the Regnerus study. study How surprising. It compares kids from stable homes, to kids whose parents have had a same sex encounter. Not a valid study. Nice try though.

It was a study that started with a base of 4000... and despite your bias view it is a valid study.
Prove to me why it is not peer reviewable material.

You don't like it, I understand that... that doesn't make it invalid.
 
Sorry but i'm not going to read 109 pages of posts to find this out but...anyone heard have a link to whats happening with SCOTUS on this case?

The problem is, you can find studies both ways.

Again, it now becomes the job of the lawyers of each side, to find the best support for their side they can. They each try to convince the judges. That's why we have the system we do.
 
Gee I wonder if you're a _____? As soon as you say it, it is out there. no wonder about it.




Absolutely Priceless.

Hilter wondered if he could rule the world. Therefore according to your thinking, all was well and clearly he sought the truth.
There's no wondering about you...
 
So what? How is it any difference for a child to ask why they have two men or two women as parents than to ask why they have a man and a woman? Or two parents of different races? Or whatever?

Lots of kids have different race parents..and enjoy the cultural differences..

Can you imagine how children from a homosexual couple suffer at school?

Do you really think that everyone is accepting and broad-minded?

Really???
 
As some one with a gay parent, maybe I can help explain.

Just like every other parent.


Honest, general answers work well. It is not particularly difficult.



I did not even know that alot of the people around where gay until I was into my teens. I know this is probably hard for you to believe, but gay people are actually good with kids and understand not being in your face about things.

Not hard for me at all...

My youngest son had a friend who's father was a gay cross-dresser..I don't know how many times I have held him when he was sobbing..as his father insisted on going to collect him from school dressed like a drag queen..

He told me everyone was laughing at him..and his father...

The same argument could have been made when interracial marriage was uncommon. Kids survived. They'll survive again.

It's gonna take a long time..

Just what they said about interracial marriage. Didn't take as long as they claimed. In this case, just 5 years ago, most people didn't support gay marriage. Today they do. Didn't take long.

You can be as nicey-nicey as you want to about it...people who have a problem with gay marriages are shut up by the law..the same as people in interracial marriages..

You go to prison..

Police can stop you from hate speech...but they sure as hell can't stop you from thinking it!!

Nope, good thing we don't have thought crimes. So what? There are tons of people out there who are racists. There is absolutely nothing we can do to stop that. It didn't stop us from legalizing interracial marriage successfully, it shouldn't stop us from legalizing gay marriage.

This is a piss poor reason not to allow it.

I know several kids who have gay parents. They have reported no bullying whatsoever because of it.

The study has been debunked and is invalid. It does NOT measure what it claims. I know you don't like that, but too bad.

No need to make stories up...sorry if it offends your ''liberal'' attitude..but it happened!

Gays are too selfish to raise children..It's all about them...I..Me..and Myself...

Not the attitude to have when you take on the responsibility of bringing up a child..

Has anyone told them they can't put them back in the toy cupboard when they have finished playing with them??
