Salon: 'Gay Couples Have Happier Kids' - Traditional Family 'A Dying Model'
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 09/04/2012 9:27:57 AM PDT by chessplayer

The left's war on traditional marriage took a truly disgraceful turn Monday.

The folks at Salon actually published a piece entitled "Gay Couples Have Happier Kids."

The sub-headline read, "Studies show that the traditional nuclear family is not better. It's a dying model -- and that's a good thing":

If you want what’s best for your kids, one surefire way to provide them with a healthy, happy home is to make sure they have lesbian parents. In the longest-running study of lesbian families to date, zero percent of children reported physical or sexual abuse—not a one. In the general population, 26 percent of children report physical abuse and 8.3 percent report sexual abuse.

That’s right kiddies...if you have a desire to bond with your real father or real mother, it’s just the figment of your imagination.

They don’t have “happier” kids, just “gayer” ones.

Uh, gay couples can not have children, so they can’t have happier kids. If hetersexual parents is a dying model, then gays no longer want me to believe in proven science. Yet they will call me a “flat earther” for not buying into their notion that the earth’s surface temperature is affected by what kind of light bulb I use.

Actually, in the longest-running study of lesbian families to date, zero percent of children reported physical or sexual abuse by their fathers.

BIG LIE ALERT!!!

The Regnerus study found that 8% of children whose parents were married heterosexuals had been sexually coerced, compared to 38% of children whose parents were Lesbians.

For about four years we lived next door to a lesbian couple with two daughters. The two little girls were nasty brats and both were on large doses of Ritalin.

I know this is only anecdotal but Slate will never convince me homosexuals are the best parents. I have know enough through the years and they were all unhappy and inwardly mean and spiteful.

Queers really must believe God made a mistake? He gave the evil hetrosexual the ability to procreate and the exemplary/caring/nuturing homosexuals nada.

Otherwise, children do not have a choice but to attatch themselves to anybody that is their gardian.
For example B.O. children are unable to discern he is the worst president ( no just one of them but THE worst) in the history of America.
But I am sure while the O family are all sitting around the dinner table, eating dog or whatever, they are unaware of what a total jerkward their father (and mother for that matter) really are.
They very well may grow up reasonable happy irregardless.

Ronald Reagan

What every other true expert about welfare knows, what everyone who’s had success getting people off of welfare, rather than on, will tell you. “Our philosophy,” she said, “is that the only way we could save our community was by saving our families.” And how did they do that? Well, here are her words: “By returning respect and responsibility and pride back to the fathers of our community.” There, spoken with the eloquence that comes from experience, is the fundamental truth about the difference between dependency and self-sufficiency: It hinges on the family.

The fundamental principle that must guide all our efforts at reform is that anything we do, any change we make, must strengthen, support, and give encouragement to the family.

We must do all we can to ensure that the family is a safe haven for its children, a source of strength and security for all its members.

And let me make a related point: In some cases day care may be a necessity, but it can never replace the love and care of the parents themselves. We’ve always been a nation that’s drawn its strength from the values of family life. If America hopes to enter the 21st century united and free, we must once again make a wholesale, conscious commitment to strengthening and protecting those basic family values and the strong, stable families from which they spring.

And finally, the task of competitiveness. Welfare reform and education are a big part of that. People are our most valuable resource; and their imagination and creativity, hard work, and faith—that’s what’ll drive America into the 21st century.

A reality check from someone who lived with two mommies (the Left won’t repeat this one).

A long time ago, I came to the realization that in research, ... they find what it is they are looking to find. Always.

The truth is ... it is Satan at work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 6:10-20

“6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
...”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our great treasure is the Word of God. His Scriptures are for our edification and wisdom, and are instructions for us.
We are to learn and be obedient to the commands of God..
