[Lullaby Chainer]

Quote by: weasel In spite of the research posted, I believe that a homosexual couple cannot provide a child a proper upbringing in terms of the benefits that only a heterosexual couple can offer. Having two "Moms" or two "Dads" deprives the child of the assets the other sex can provide. Argueably, having a mother and father balances the rearing of a child who needs both the maternal instincts / feelings of the mother and the protective behavior of the father. Apparently, the state of Arkansas agrees with me: http://www.narth.com/docs/RationaleBasisFinal0405.pdf Some exerts for those who will be too lazy to read my evidence: "The inherent nature and structure of households with a homosexually-behaving adult uniquely endangers foster children by exposing them to a substantial level of harmful stresses that are over and above usual stress levels in heterosexual foster homes." "The inherent structure of foster-parent households with one or more homosexually-behaving members deprives foster children of vitally needed positive contributions to child adjustment that are only present in licensed heterosexual foster homes." "Homosexual partner relationships are significantly and substantially less stable and more short-lived on the average compared to a marriage of a man and a woman, thereby inevitably contributing to a substantially higher rate of household transitions in foster homes with a homosexually-behaving adult." Homosexuality is a deviation in the natural order of things (most people are "straight" not "gay"). Such a deviation should not be allowed to follow through to the raising of a child. I am not a parent so my qualification and bias on this topic is questionable. However, I would hope that there are some heterosexual partners out there who could relate and support my observation.

Anyone else see the sublimanl message?!?!!? =O

Here.. I'll help you..

See it!?!?!?!

Edit by rcne, I see nothing but a valid debate of the issues. When you interject homophobia into the mix rather than considering the views posted here - it detracts rather than adds to the debate.
