Quote by: Gambr1nus Ah, it ain't the same people, but that don't matter. All those people that do studies on people, and organizations that think they get things right on with the way people are, or will become are bogus. You can't find the answer or even a near answer with a focus group, you would have to interview everyone. There are so many catches and circumstances in life that when a institution, and a group of Dr./Scientists thinks they can determine the truth by interviewing 135 people from San Francisco or wherever they get these crap answers from then anyone who believes them are crazy too.

The fact is that the statistics they have gathered has indicated at least the possibility of children being raised in a homosexual family without ill effects, while legitimate statistics indicating the opposite seem rather few and far between from my experience.

Perhaps in your neck of the woods, surveys and stuff are o.k.

In my neck of the woods it is, because surveys are based on actual experience, and are documented in a way that alows anyone to scrutinize or analyse them- unlike anecdotes which can be made up or presented in a conveniently skewed manner on the spot.

But just you come where I live and see if growing up in a homosexual family is gonna turn you out the same as everyone else. And if you say we ain't right, or normal or what have you.... where in America is the idea prevelant that you can be taught by people who aren't you and you can come out any different?

What is wrong with "different", if it is not proven to be harmful?

I know a countless number of people (more like 4) that were raised by women, and only women...in an odd environment, one that could be considered a homosexual relationship. Woman never sees her child, stay with grandmother, grandmother hates men, only sees women. Women spend the night over, two women to every man, doing each others hair, and what not..... well the guy turns out to be homosexual. It's proximity. You be around someone different that you long enough, you change. End of story. Kid grows up in a homo relationship, got a better chance to be homo. That is unless he rebels against what he feels is something disgusting?

Ah, but that situation has nothing to do with homosexuality in and of itself. Homosexual families are not commonly shown as the sort to demonize heterosexuals when talking to their children about sexual issues once they reach adolescence.

In fact, children of homosexual parents tend to be raised in the same areas as children of heterosexual parents(there is little isolation amongst the groups outside of the bible belt), although the sexuality of the children's parents tend not to be known by their peers). As long as the child is raised to be socially healthy, there would be no barriers for the child to learn about "normal" behavior or about the "heterosexual lifestyle" by societal proxy on his own.
