.......and the studies contained therein? Naturally, you don't approve of the sources but that's how this works. You provide a source I provide an alternative one. We both know that. If I am only limited to sources that you approve then you should only use those I approve of. Otherwise this doesn't work. Debate is impossible.
You have yet to provide a real source. Try finding some actual studies, not some website that talks about studies. I again point out that FRC has a long history of slanting badly what they present and flat out dishonesty.
I've provided articles suggesting gays presently view marriage from a different perspective than I do. I view it as an insitution that requires monogamy as essention in order to be effective. I have provided articles that suggest "many" in the gay community do not believe marriage requires monogamy, at all. This is a cultural difference. It's to be expected. It's at the heart of my argument. It's your culture that determines the institution, not the institution that determines your culture.
You are still repeating the same mistake. You are still comparing married people to single people. You want results that mean something, compare married gay people in the US with strait married people in the US. Saying unmarried people are more less monogamous than married people, and since gays cannot marry, they are more promiscuous, so gays should not be married because they are too promiscuous is an obviously flawed premise.
I believe I have. I have already provided two articles that suggest indicate homosexual relationships tend to be less stable than heterosexual ones now. I have also linked an article in the new york times (many disagree with) that suggests many gays don't view monogamy important for a marriage.
You have shown that relationships outside of marriage are less stable. You have presented an article which is based on a study that was not yet published, and which also uses anecdotes to show something. Your problem is that, in fact, you have presented no actual evidence to back up your point.
Unless monogamy becomes a priority in gay relationships, unless the nature of gay relationships change for the majority of the community they will continue to remain shortlived, and unstable by definition.
Then you promote monogamy by the best method...marriage.
In some ways we are at an impass. You are suggesting the institution of marriage will change the gay community. I am suggesting the gay community will have to change in order for the institution of marriage to work for them. What comes first the chicken or the egg.
I am not saying marriage will change the gay community in any way other than it does for the strait community. You are expecting gays to do more than you expect straits to have ever done.
At any rate the very best environments for children are those that are stable, and longterm. Feel free to call me "delusional" for thinking this way as critical thinking has already branded me as such.
No one has argued otherwise, but this is an argument for gay marriage, to promote those long term stable relationships, and you have yet to counter this argument.
[quoteI tell ya' what why don't you references support for your contention that the gay community will change their cultural mores and their views of marriage.........just because. You see the problem, don't ya? [/QUOTE]
Because that is not what I am arguing. I am merely arguing that marriage leads to longer term, more stable relationships. Are you suggesting this is not true?
