I thought the blog was funnier. CT and I had spent time 2 weeks ago destroying all of those myths. It was like deja vu all over again.

I just took a better look at the Times article. It applied to what we are talking about... how?
 
Wait, the blog that starts out referencing the Netherlands study on gays? The study that selected people with AIDS? And they are drawing a conclusion about married gays with it...again?

Yeah, that's the one. No credibilty at all. I also smelled Cameron's work in there somewhere.
 
Dutch said:
I still don't have your sources. When do you plan on providing that?
Click to expand...

I gave you 12 sources, with links at the end of the second post. I'm still waiting for yours that show that children of gays do worse than children of straights. So far, you haven't provided any.

You would think any one honestly looking at the issue would understand that comparing fidelity in marriage with fidelity in unmarried couples and determining unmarried couples more promiscuous would realize that they just made the SSM argument for us.

Yup. I've been saying this for a while. It's also an inaccurate comparisson, to begin with, comparing fidelity in marrieds to fidelity in unmarrieds. That usually doesn't stop them, though.

Looks like the APA changed their site and didn't update the links. I'll have to go look for them. You can read what I wrote, however, I summarized each study with both an abstract and commentary.

He keeps misusing that article and I keep debunking it over and over.

I'm just gonna start copying and pasting when I see his posts.

You didn't debunk anything. You simply disparaged my article and provided none of your own in response. I'll give you an example from your link.



my post
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with your "evidence." Allowing gays the right to marry won't make them behave in ways we want them to. They have their own culture, their own cultural mores, their own belief systems. I'm actually fine with that. I'm simply asking, no, demanding, I and mine be accorded the same.

your refutation
The fact that you personally disagree does not change the reality that it is happening. Marriage equality has gradually been changing gay culture in Europe, has been reducing risky sexual behavior, has been reducing STD transmission. But given you could not provide a rebuttal of my evidence, I have to assume you are aware of this and are now simply stubbornly holding to your position due to the emotional/cultural reasons rather than a rational and objective review of the facts.

Marriage equality has gradually changed gay culture in europe? really? Good, just where is your support for your contention?

It's a good strategy. When you get those members who aren't here to debate but just post the same debunked crap over and over again and run from threads when they realize they are losing, then by posting the same rebuttals it shows that nobody is taking them seriously anymore and that they are actually going to have to justify their opinions with valid evidence. Most of them just give up and go away, which is fine by me.
