A coalition of more than 40 East Bay private schools is hosting a free community workshop on Sunday for gay and lesbian families.

Same-sex couples with children, or who are intending to have children, can come to this second annual event hosted by the East Bay Independent Schools Association to learn about school environments that suit their families.

For the childrens sake-- it is abomination for any authority
to use children as pawns in this culture War. Science has
proven that same sex housholds are not a good environment for a child. Even in communities as unsound as S.F.I don't buy the LIE that a child placed with homsexuals is better
off than a child in an orphanage.. . or even placed with
alcoholic heterosexual parants.

"families" in this article should be placed in quotation marks.
That term is a statement of opinion as it applies to these people.

I hope they'll also report what goes on in these
workshops.

Is this not the most revolting oxymoron you've ever seen?

Revolting, yes. Oxymoron, no.

Leave aside adoption and reproductive technologies. Most 'gay' people have normal sex at some time in their lives, and some reproduce that way. Case in point: Bishop whatisname has two children.

Can you give me a source for the data on children in homosexual households? I would very much like to know exactly what the effect of these households on children is.

There is a study out of New Zeland which did an exhaustive study. The found that the girls were more likely to be lesbians and sexually active and experimental. The boys were found to be withdrawn socially and had problems with forming relationships. The study focused on children raised by lesbians.

Ah so those lesbians raise the next generation of lesbian and metrosexual momma's boys ... a brave new world it is.

Did you ever think of what it looks like to people when you use the "F" word and quote scripture in the same post?

I certainly understand your concern. I just think that we should all be conscious of how we represent God's Word to the world. It's fine to exhibit righteous indignation, but I don't know how many times I've seen obscene gestures come from people in cars with Christian bumper stickers...
