"Homosexuality is not normal, moral, or healthy, and it never will be."

I agree...if I were raised by two queer males...I would NEVER get a prostate exam!

44 "families" is not nearly a large enough sample size to get a true reading on it.

Okay, how large a sampling of number of families do you want?

It's impossible I agree.

Homesexuals need to realize that it's one thing to NOT be ridiculed or discriminated against. But it's entirely another thing for them to raise children. It's not only immoral but I'd say it's unethical.

There are so many hetero couple going overseas to adopt. Why aren't they moving in front of the gay couples who are now also in line to adopt??

These kind of folks are out to try and prove something,
but they will not raise my children (literally over my dead body) nor have any more influence on them that I can possibly spare them, and I will never be convinced that it is okay for them to raise children in their own abominable image.

What they are seeking is complete acceptance. Never give them that.

I'd say at least a thousand and follow them for at least 25 years. A TRUE clinical trial would call for this.

It takes a long, LONG time for behavior to develop.

First, this is an academic study, and we all know what academia is these days.

Second, it is a psychological study, and we all know what psychologists are like these days.

For instance, if under political pressure you redefine homosexuals as perfectly normal, as the American Psychiatric Society did, and then as icing on the cake define those who object to this new approach as homophobes--a newly invented mental illness--what does it mean when you say that the children of homosexuals pretending to be parents are normal?

Not a whole lot. It depends what the meaning of is is, or in this case what the meaning of normal is.

As a footnote, there has been a serious drive to redefine pederasty as normal. Some psychiatrists have already argued the case in journals. Where does that leave us?

the entire premise is a lie. homosexuality is a lie. God designed men and women differently for a purpose, and no article from anyone will convince me what the homosexuals are doing is right. if that makes me a homophobe,intolerant, or discriminatory,then so be it.

Remember all the studies in the '60's and '70's by drug using researchers that "proved" that drugs were harmless?

all the more reason to put REAL conservatives into every politically appointed law-related position Bush has a shot at.

"How can anything different from Gods formula, be good?"


Only in the eyes of perverted, lost, humanity. Come to think about it, it's not ANYTHING that Jehovah God says is good, but EVERYTHING that Jehovah God says is good, that drives secular America crazy. In a literal sense, these peoples views are akin to the scum we fight in Iraq.

You personally think that sexual attraction isn't learned?

I've got a good idea - why not study up on it? Check out the Homosexual Agenda archives where there are more articles about homosexuality than probably anywhere else on the internet.

Scripter has organized them according to date and subject, and there you will learn that it is primarily environmental, including the fact that a large percentage of homosexuals were molested when young. And that despite the heroic efforts of "gay" researchers to find a genetic cause, there just isn't one.

Then your opinion won't be fact-free any more.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - Check this one out. A "study" showing that children raised by two homosexuals (the author left out male homosexuals, I wonder why...) are just as normal as kids raised by normal parents.

Read down the thread, and you will see - The Rest of The Story. Author outed masterfully as a "gay" promoter.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.


Note - reminds me of how they all said years ago that kids would bounce back from divorce, it's better for parents to split up than stay together "for the sake of the children" and so on. Now they find out the exact opposite - even older teenage kids are seriously harmed by divorce. What to speak of being raised by two homosexuals. What a foul social experiment.

Add to that the fact that many in the social services and related fields are leftists and often homosexuals themselves, and there is a real push now to give babies and children who need foster homes or adoptive parents to homosexuals instead of married husbands and wives. Disastrous and horrible.

This isn't good news. Most normal people I know are pretty screwed up.

Fact free? There is plenty of research that shows Sexual Orientation can correlate with a number of factors, many centering around homones. Try doing some reseach yourself on women exposed to hormones like DES during pregnancy, or that the corpus callosum has been observed to be larger in homosexual men. I'm not saying that people can't chose to engage in homosexual acts, I'm saying that kids who are raised by homosexuals aren't going to be gay just because the people who are raising them are. If that was the case, why aren't all kids raised in homosexual households gay? I think its baseless to say that sexual orientation can only be a consciouse decision alone.

Yea yea yea, and in the 50s and 60s studies showed whole language was the way to teach children more effectively to read, and that rehabilitating and understanding criminals was more important that punishing them.... Which lead to off the charts increases in illiteracy for the first time in american history it went UP! And to a 30 year crime wave that only recently has been culled!

Sorry, I'm not going to lose 30 years playing with your experiments, I'll take the 2000 years of written human experience and history as my guide on this one.

You would be wise to do a little good ol' FR research befor your shoot yourself in the foot anymore. On the contrary, there is no research that shows homosexuality to be inborn. The DES thing shows that children are more likely to have certain kinds of cancer and have possible genital abnormalities; I never read of homosexual children. And - even if there were - women taking DES isn't something that could or will happen on a large scale The research supposedly showing the brain part that was supposedly larger in homosexual men has been entirely discredited and even admitted to be worthless by its own author (a homosexual activist).

Also, there are articles on FR - you can do a search - that show the exact opposite of this propspeak piece - that kids raised by homosexuals are indeed more likely to sexually confused and identify homosexually.

You are entirely wrong, and should take advantage of the mine of information available at your fingertips on Free Republic, rather than parroting "gay" talking points.
