I've known three stable, gay (male) families raising children(adopted from the inner city, which made for interesting confusion when the two daddies were out with their kids).

Three?! Your basing your opinion on the PUBLIC BEHAVIOR of THREE homosexual couples?

Single parents? More than I want to think of.

Are you saying that of all the single parents you've known that you haven't known three good ones?

Again, what is your criteria for what is good and what is bad?

The issue is not marriage. The issue is making the issue about marriage. The problem is not marriage, it's marriage's abject failure as an institution.

You've actually said NOTHING here.

Marriage hasn't failed, it's been around for six thousand years and it works fine, some people don't have the committment to it that they should, but that's not the fault of marriage.

But again, why are you talking about why homosexuals should be parents? NOBODY is saying that they can't be.

Marriage *has* failed. What passes today is no longer marriage, it's serial monogamy, which is significantly different.

Back to the subject, yes my sample has significant selection bias, both for the fact that irresponsible homosexuals don't cohabit, don't adopt and by the nature of the sexual behavior don't have children.

On the other hand children are a natural product of heterosexual sex(and quite easy to make all things considered). Which means that it's actually easier for irresponsible heterosexuals to have children than the opposite.

Which brings us right back to the topic I've been advocating, how can a modern society be organized to produce stable, committed two parent households? The current way doesn't work.
