Study finds children do better with straight parents than homosexuals

[halocog]

I'm always wary of these types of studies, even when they're done by public universities. Religious people throw money at the studies to provoke an outcome in their favor. Who knows what the real truth is. There are studies from trusted places showing the opposite as well.

Alright, I think I get the point, homosexuality doesn't only occur in humans. However, my reasoning is that a homosexual cannot reproduce, and the sex is not natural. I look at it as trying to put two puzzle pieces together that don't fit

of course it's natural... if it wasn't natural, people wouldn't do it. we are not artificial... anything you can think of that can be done with the human body is perfectly natural.

[Roo]

and by "we" I mean human kind in general. just because you don't engage in certain sexual pursuits doesn't make them any less natural. im not into buttholes either but I welcome you to do whatever you want with yours or a willing partner's

Its not natural! I don't care what people do with their lives but don't call it natural. A penis is meant to go into a mofemales vagina....not a hairy asshole....and as far as animaals doing it....look at the size of their brains.

Hahahaha, agreed man, agreed! This is exactly what I was getting at. I couldn't agree more.

"Like it or not, guys, I think there is some truth to that statement. Kids do better if they have both a mother and a father in their lives. Most kids with single parents don't have nearly as good of a life for many reasons. For the purposes of this conversation, this has to do with having both a mother and father figure. I just have a hard time believing that with gay parents, having a father and a "mother", or the reverse cuts it. No disrespect to those that are gay, I have a couple of gay friends, and one's sexuality is their own business. It's just my opinion that homosexuality in itself isn't natural."




So your saying my life was not as good as yours because I was only raised with a mother..... your a dick! Nuff!

I said most, but not all.

thanks for the quick response. It is probably much easier on a kid to have both a mother and a father, but on the flipside it's probably cool to have "two people" who love you and take care of you as well, compared to one or especially in these kinds of situations (adoptions) none. It's really such a SMALL portion of the population (less than 1%) anyways it's pretty silly to even debate.

She seems pretty normal to me...

I think people should be allowed to marry homosexual penguins and dolphins and raise children together.

Obviously not the point. Whilst I believe a father mother dynamic is best; Truth be told 50% of those don't work out and after they don't work out prolly at least 25% 0f those are not amicable or one parent was a louse and will never see those kids again. I guess my first point is that the kids in these effed up hetero relationships are probably not going to fare any better. That leads me to the fact that when you are talking about a good couple of people who have to work their asses off just to adopt or do the insemination thing, it shows they are really committed. I mean hell anybody can get pregnant and it sometimes happens to people who can't afford it or are to young to know what they're getting into. So, If there is a loving couple who will take them in and have the means to support them, I say great. I have many more reasons going thru my mind right now but I need to get to bed. If and when I continue I will elaborate...

This discussion was doomed to fail from the start...the topic isn't really constructive and this won't end well.

I can't post it, but there's an episode from a TV series that fits this thread to a T.

Season 3, Episode 7 of 'American Dad' ("Surro-gate")

I really doubt it makes any difference if you have both a father and a mother, or two fathers or two mothers - As long you as you raise your children properly you can pretty much swing either way and it won't have an effect on the kid.
If this study is correct(which I doubt), the explanation probably lies with the characteristics that ones parents might impose on you.
I hate to generalize, but most male homosexuals are often more feminine and if they try to impose their more 'feminine' interests on to him which in turns means he will probably get picked on for liking something that would be considered "wrong" amongst male heteresexuals - Say, if I took interest in culture, arts, theater or designing I'd almost immediately be stamped as a homosexual, which in many places of the world is considered wrong(for no real reason(?)).
