My wife can not stand feminists. Ask my kids if they like having a mommy and a daddy.

Having some experience in this area (my niece was raised in a lesbian household and it turned out "not well"), I'm not sure it's so much being raised in a gay household, as being raised in a stable household.

In our case, it was a rotating door on "life partners" - leaving little stability for someone growing up.

“By breaking marriage down into its constituent elements, Stacey and Biblarz are asking us to break ourselves and our children, into pieces.” Deconstruction, thy name is postmodernism. Geez, think Stacy and Biblarz (is this a real name?) went to the ivy leagues? Such a heavy dose of intellect, not.

The major goal of feminists, IMO, has always been to marginalize the real men. It's a domination by women theory. For the past 20 or so years, I have seen it in the commercials on TV.... the children or the wife dominates/castrates the father/husband who is made to appear as a weak stupid jerk....harmless but silly. That is so prevalent that it is taken for granted and has been internalized in the past generation of children. What a shame!

Another byproduct of this emasculation of men is that now we see women rising up in politics, and justly so, because the men are no longer able or willing to do it!

As C.S. Lewis said “We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise.”

Children with married couple parents have one straight male and one straight female parent who are married to each other and both biologically related to them. To prove that heterosexual marriage is uniquely good for children, and superior to same sex parenting, we really need studies that separate all these factors.

The problem, as alluded by the article, is that too often those arguing against same-sex parents try to argue that it's simply a matter of having two sexes, rather than admitting that the ideal situation is biological parents. The problem being that once you admit that biological parents are the best for the children, you have to admit that all the special acts taken by people to have kids (surrogates, adoption, fostering, sperm donations) are less desirable from the child's point of view. Sure, being adopted is better than being an orphan, but it's not as good as having your biological parents raise you. Biology matters -- that's why so many adopted kids try to find their biological parents.

When I meet two lebians with a kid, I’m going to nicely ask them who the FATHER is. I’ll never relinquish this reality.

““Thus, it may not be fatherlessness that expands gender capacities in sons but heterosexual fatherlessness. When gay men, lesbians or heterosexual women parent apart from the influence of heterosexual masculinity, they all seem to do so in comparatively gender-flexible ways that may enable their sons to break free from gender constraints as well.””

See. Having a Mother and a Father ‘forces’ boys to be boys and girls to be girls.

Can’t have that... ./s

I know a couple who divoriced and after that the woman moved in with her girlfriend. The two daughters did not do well and begged for years to go live with their Dad. The girls will tell you how awful it was to always be stared at and not be invited anywhere. Those two I think are the most outspoken anti gay people I’ve ever seen but they know first hand about what goes on.

There is a wonderful book by Kate O'Beirne titled "Women Who Make The World Worse"

It can be found at: http://www.amazon.com/Women-Who-Make-World-Worse/dp/1595230092/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Such great insight into NOW and the demands of the members who will never be satisfied!

Consider the source, funding and design...
As IF the outcome of this study was going to show anything but what it showed.

Strike 1: The author is Nanette Gartrell (who is “married” to Dee Mosbacher, a self-described “lesbian feminist activist”).

Strike 2: The study’s funding was underwritten by LGBT interests.

Strike 3: the study outcome is invalid due to self-selection bias of the experimental group (154 prospective lesbian mothers volunteered themselves). There is no control group (hetero couples, single straight parents, etc.

Strike 4: The methodology of the study called for THE PARENTS to rate their own children, and the children to rate THEMSELVES via an “online survey.”

It’s a farce, people. If you have respect for real science, just file this colossal waste of time under “p” for propaganda.

Excellent article. Common sense says that the study is manure, but having the reasoning and facts laid bare confirms our good senses.
