Because "studies show" has become the refuge of those who do not wish to think.

Excellent quote.

There are many powerful arguments against same-sex marriage, and in subsequent columns I will offer them. But if you have to offer only one, know that those who push for same-sex marriage base their case on something factually indefensible – that children do not benefit from having a father and a mother; and on something morally indefensible – ignoring what is best for children.

But not just children in homosesxual marriages, but those outside homosexual marriage as well - they will be affected as collateral damage.

Perhaps he'll write a column on same-sex marriage and the military...

If Sweden's example is to be taken as a trend, then there is an even more permicious effect on children when gay marriage is legally sanctioned. Since Sweden sanctioned gay marriage, the incidence of children born out of wedlock has skyrocketed. So rather than having any kind of legal parenting arrangement, children have none.

This article is an important discussion on the effects of children who would be raised by the 'gay' parents.

What I have not seen written yet is the effect that legally approved same sex union will have on ALL children.

As soon as the 'gay' lobby gets the 'equal' recognition of their unions, all school books will have to be rewritten so that small children will not be taught 'stereotypes' such as a mommy and a daddy in a story about a 'family.'

Hate speech will include any words of preference for heterosexual marriage.

In another 10 years, little children will be as supportive of 'gay' unions as they are today of 'green' issues.

The human being develops in stages from infancy to adulthood. Along the way, besides learning to walk and talk, children pass through attachment to parents, attachment to peers, and finally attachment to a life partner.

I weep at the thought of elementary school age children, (who today are being bombarded with adult sexual images), being forced to accept the concept of same-sex adult partnerships as appropriate, while the children are in their same-sex peer group years.

Many will not ever make a healthy transition to life as part of a heterosexual couple.

Not good for society at all, or as they used to say "not good for children and other living things."

Seems like over the past thirty years, the idea of child-rearing and marriage have been "disconnected" - by no-fault divorce, widespread, stigma-free single parenting, etc. Homosexual marriage seems to be another step, although a very large one, down this path.

Marriage is and has been an institution that provides public recognition, financial benefits, and a stable structure for mothers and fathers raising their children. All things being equal, children do best with their biological parents, or with a mother and a father being present and taking care of them. I only skimmed the posted article, but I agree that recent developments - including the advocacy of homosexual marriage - result from a shift of emphasis from the well-being of children to the "self-actualization" (or whatever) of the adults seeking endorsement, and financial subsidy (through tax breaks, insurance benefits, etc. reserved for married couples) of their lifestyles.

If same-sex marriage becomes the norm, adoption, too, will be turned over.

Adoption agencies would no longer have a clear choice between a traditional and a gay married couple in choosing parents. Everything will be "equal" in the eyes of the law.

So, same-sex marriage advocates now argue that children do not do better with a mother and a father.

Not only do children do better with a mother and a father, but they do better with mentally healthy parents.

People are born heterosexual. They are born either male or female. Those who find themselves leaning toward a different sexuality (nature never offers homosexuality, it offers asexuslity) or toward a different gender, than they are born with, are mentally ill. The correct answer for them is treatment.

I recognize that there are many mental illnesses. It might become very difficult to determine that people with such mental illnesses may no longer get married. But homosexual mariage isn't about denying people a privelege they currently have, it's about granting people a privelege they have never had before through the centuries of recorded history. Before we make such a radical change, we should be absolutely sure it is the right thing to do.

There is no such assurance with homosexual marriage.

Shalom.
