The research literature on childrearing by homosexual parents is limited. The environment in which children are reared is absolutely critical to their development. Given the current body of research, the American College of Pediatricians believes it is inappropriate, potentially hazardous to children, and dangerously irresponsible to change the age-old prohibition on homosexual parenting, whether by adoption, foster care, or by reproductive manipulation. This position is rooted in the best available science

Tammy Bruce wrote a book called The Death of Right and Wrong. It is the most important book you can read if you have kids or grandchildren in public school.
Tammy feels that, aside from terrorism, the sexualization of our children by the radical gay left is the most dangerous thing facing the nation today. And I agree.
In Vermont, a program was instituted called Outright Vermont. Vermont schools advertise this program on bulletin boards and the materials contain links to web sites which lead to adult gay male porn sites. Last year, NYT opened the first gay high school in the nation.
Former Gov. Gay Davis of California signed a sex education law that requires students to adopt a healthy attitude toward homosexuality. The NEA has been developing programs to incorporate the gay agenda into our public schools for children of all ages.
Many programs have been in place for over 20 years and the curricula is getting more radical each year.
NEA is trying to force state governments to require both home schoolers and private schools to teach pro gay agendas or refuse to validate their diplomas.
The NEA has successfully sponsored a curriculum which some schools have adopted that requires children to partake in "Gay Day" which involved playacting.
In March 2002, Penn State University featured an advocate of pedophilia at a women's health conference, despite congressional disapproval and parental concerns.
In 1998, the American Psychological Associated claimed that pedophilia often "does not cause intense harm on a pervasive basis."
The North American Man Boy Love Assoc. (NAMBLA) is a regularly quoted member of the gay movement and pedophile themes abound in their literature. Their web site quotes "...instead of condemning pedophiles for their involvement with lesbian and gay youth, we should be supporting them." The gay movement does not condemn these comments or ask that the Association refrain from attaching itself to their agenda.
The taboo against adult-child sex is eroding and the NYT and other cultural elite press regularly praise literary works containing pedophilia relationships. Poet Allen Ginsberg was a pedophile and member of NAMBLA. His poetry contained explicit references to pedophilia and yet when he died in 1997, journalists praised him as an icon whose poetry was without rival.
Researchers differ on the numbers, but approximately 25% of gay men report they wre molested as children which they blame for setting them on the road to homosexuality. This is not to paint all gays as having predatory motives, but I believe that gay marriage will provide an access to children through adoption that is unprecedented and dangerous. And yet, we are told that praying in school is dangerous to our children. Moral relativism is standing on its head.
No doubt the gay defenders will cite homophobia, hate mongering, and bigotry, but you can't argue with the resounding appeal for caution.
the gay initiative ain't gonna like this. finally some science to refute the pro-gay propaganda, and someone willing to risk the gay wrath to use it.....
Not politically correct but a lot of common sense.
Wow. I doubt this will get much coverage in the MSM.
You're preaching to the quior. I've been fighting these people all over the web for 6 years now, and hypocrisy abounds.
Whenever, something of real substance gets posted or published against homoseuxality, the gay defenders are all over it. Do you ever wonder why they always seem to disract from the actual material, and incite bias from the source. Take NARTH for instance, or the Family Research council. It's not enough that they are simply anti-gay, but it must be understood by all that they are "clearly" homophobic, or bigotted, and hate mongering. It's confusing to me why the MSM, and the School, boards are not wise to this. I mean, I know they are Liberal by definition, but politics and child safety shouldn't share the same docket.

Homosexuals childrearing not good for children? I am shocked. SHOCKED I tell you.
My rule of thumb is that it takes the USA at least 50 years to recognize a major mistake like this and reverse course. Best example is the hideous billions spent on public housing, now blown up with dynamite to save the poor souls who were consigned there.
Agreed. Stopping Sick & depraved Looneys from adopting kids? Makes too much sense for the MSM

Thank you for the article, as a grandparent, I had already come to the conclusion that the Academy of Pediatrics seems to assert---
I once heard a radio interview with Chastity Bono, and she said, among other things, that growing up in a home where her mother had lesbian partners living with her, really affected Chastity.
Chastity was encouraged not only by the lesbian partners, but by her mother to experiment---Chastity is now a lesbian, but she even conceded that she isn't particulary happy and that she might not have become a lesbian if she hadn't been raised in that atmosphere---
I have never forgotten that intvu, so I discount anything that tries to convince me that there is no injury to our country, our values, or, most importantly our children when we are told that gay marriage wouldn't even affect any heteros.
Cher is bi? I do despair for these kids being brought up by gay couples. It's a national disgrace how the left, who always say "it's for the children" are really meaning that it's all for them and their pleasure.
The radical gay's grab for our children through trying to infiltrate the schools with their agenda and overnights with Boy Scouts is beyond frightening. It's sick.
Did I already tell you why they recruit at so young?
No. Tell me. I have to go out for a bit but I'll read it and respond when I get back.
First, to accept the homosexual lifestyle is saying up front that it's OK for any two mentally imbalanced individuals to do whatever they want. You can find the root cause of an individual's homosexuality in their childhood. It's NOT natural, duh! When you accept their chosen way, you're not helping them. It's the lazy lefty's way of covering up the real problem.
Next, giving children to mentally imbalanced individuals because the mentally imbalanced individuals want them is clearly a stupid idea. It makes me sick, and I'm less likely these days to reach even a tolerance level towards homosexuals.
Yeah, Cher is bi, and Chastity said that she was often left with the "partner" when Cher would go on her singing tours---which probably were very long, months and months.
If I remember correctly she said she talked to her Mom, and Cher kind of "laughed off" her concerns about homosexuality and said that experimentation was very natural, and not to get too uptight about it---
This intvu was YEARS ago---and of course, other than Tammy Bruce, I have never heard anyone that is gay or bi, admits ANY reservations about the negative affect that that lifestyle would have on kids---
If scientists had never "discovered" artificial insemination, how would the homosexualy community hope to survive --- pay for Social Security, etc., surely not from their peers---only from children for us mean ole "heternormatives".
You mean NYC, right? Although I'm sure the NYT was right there with slavering news coverage.
If there was one, it sure isn't with us today now is it? We are on a slippery slope when we try to flip 10 millennia on it's head.
This is dangerous. very dangerous indeed!!
