Problem is your content is irrelevant both because it is and because you don't understand the process of debate. If you did, you wouldn't present the content that you have because you'd KNOW it was irrelevant.
The content that children suffer from no father in the home is relevant. the issue of step parents....is relevant. the fact that all the research..that is miniscule to date...doesn't compare parenting skills as you're trying to do, the research finds for better AND WORSE, children suffer the same fates. The increased risks of step parenting are just as real, the lack of a male father in the home having devastating effects are just as real, these are ALL relevant issues.
I have stayed right on message. Orientation has nothing to do with parenting skills whatosever. It doesn't make you a worse parent...it doesn't make you a better one either. You cannot be a female father in any home even if you'd like to be. Similarly, one cannot be a male mother in any home.
And is why the nuclear, two parent male father and female mother remaining married and in the home.....is BY FAR...the best scenario for children we know of and has had multiple effects on each and all of us. Every one of us. This is concrete and a pillar of my sound argument you cannot touch to date but rather..address process and claim to know what I understand and do not understand. This is a platform in my argument that marriage should remain 1) defined by society, we the People 2) it be realized that a one man and one woman relationship called marriage should remain unique, should remain THE primary and most sought after relationship in our society and culture, all others are secondary. Children should remain THE PRIMARY reason for marriage, the reason the woman takes the man's name, the reason the children are then given that name.
Now...want to change it all....go through proper channels and convince the rest of us you are correct. Give some actual truth and fact, rely on something other than "yer not reasonable"..."you don't understand"...you're process is all wrong." Cause, that's a huge deflection...is about as transparent as Casper the friendly ghost and is the same ol lame and tired nonsense others are trying to use in here.
Then continue to make an even better case than that as....you've got influential constituents such as myself who don't give your same sex marriage arguments much respect as they aren't founded in anything but agenda driven drivel.
Next.
