Study: Gay Parents More Likely to Have Gay Kids
AOL News ^ | 17/10/10 | Paul Kix

Posted on 10/17/2010 3:57:46 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

(Oct. 17) -- Walter Schumm knows what he's about to do is unpopular: publish a study arguing that gay parents are more likely to raise gay children than straight parents. But the Kansas State University family studies professor has a detailed analysis that past almost aggressively ideological researchers never had.

When one such researcher, Paul Cameron, published a paper in 2006 arguing that children of gay parents were more likely to be gay themselves, the response from the academic press was virulent, to say nothing of the popular press; the Southern Poverty Law Center, for instance, equated Cameron to a Nazi.

Not all of the vitriol was hyperbolic. Cameron does not tolerate gay people. He believes that "homosexual practice is injurious to society."

The gay press, as far back as the 1980s, labeled Cameron "the most dangerous anti-gay voice in America." Though Cameron was the first to publish papers on the dangers of secondhand smoke, the scientific community has abandoned him. The American Psychological Association long since dropped him from its membership for an "ethical" violation.

Today, Cameron is the founder and chairman of the Family Research Institute, whose "overriding mission" is to publish "empirical research on issues that threaten the traditional family, particularly homosexuality."

I had a good friend who is a Psychologist. Notice I used the past tense. She argued that homosexuality is a variation of normal. I asked her ‘what's normal about it?’. A thirty year friendship down the tubes due to political differences. We also disagreed that sexual molestation wasn't harmful to a child......that's what SHE thought. She, of course, had no children. In the end, the parting of the ways is no loss for me.

If, as the fags say, that being a queer is predestined not learned and at some time in the future this genetic trait is discovered. Should a pregnant woman decide to abort her child because he has this gene, would the fags call it a hate crime?

Nature or Nurture?

It’s nurture....

Gender confusion will only “breed” more gender confusion.

The “genetic disposition” claim was embraced by sodomites after they lost Hardwick v. Bowers before the SCOTUS. The “research” that has attempted to find a sodomite gene has generally been politically motivated. The only reasonably good research on what leads to sodomite behavior is molestation as a child or an adolescent.

Anyone who has been around sodomites when they are comfortable and “just being themselves” would never let them have custody of children.

Sounds like a gain, actually.

Then that means it isn’t a choice.

Not all gays started out that way, some of them got sucked into it....

In my estimation, NONE of them started that way. Homosexuality is a deliberate choice.

Even the vile and disgusting Barney Frank began his life normally. He freely opted of his own volition to become a homosexual just as he decided to be become a liberal.

Of course, many of these poor children have no biological connection with either parent; at most, with one parent.

So it’s nurture, no nature.

“then heterosexual love will be both alien and unnatural to the child.”

You said the words I was looking for. Now maybe I can go talk with my neigbors with a little nature on my side.

Proving that it’s learned behavior since a genetic predisposition to homosexuality would breed itself out in one generation.

That's absolutely right. Homosexuality is a choice. Of course the decision to choose that abomination is encouraged by bad "parents". God does not create homosexuals.

And I will continue to not use the term "gay" to describe these unhappy beings. They are anything but gay in the rightful meaning of that word.

They haven't seen nothing compared to today's militant homo-Nazi's.

If the child is raised in a home where homosexual love is the role model the child is exposed to; then heterosexual love will be both alien and unnatural to the child.

Slight hijack alert! I watched two episodes of that train wreck "sister wives" about polygamy. The "dad" with three "wives" was preparing to take on a forth who already had children. The mother of those kids prepared her kids to enter the "family" and next thing you knew there was one Ken doll and four Barbies. Mom was teaching the child to share "daddy" with the other "families" and of course the kids were totally into the game.

It is not a stretch to assume that similar things go on in gay households to explain things to the kids. Gay acquaintances of mine tell me that they want their kids to grow up straight. I have no doubt that they do. But I don't think the kids have much of a shot at a normal life.

did they raise them to be gay from the time they were small?

They molest them from the time they are small, which has the same effect. Remember that, despite "Dr." Kinsey's "sexy" reputation in popular culture, he was a bi-sexual who carried out pedophilic experiments upon children - even newborns - and concluded that ALL children should be "allowed to explore their sexual desires". Of course, since they have NO such desires, what that scumbag really meant was that ADULTS should be free to explore their own sexual desires with children of any age. "Gays" concur with this view. God help their children.

This seems to be a meaningless study. It implies gays pass on gay gene to their children. Unless a lesbian is artificially impregnated they in general do not produce children. If gays adopt children and they turn out to be gay, it is probably the environment and not genetics. The gays are continually trying to prove they are born gay but science has already proved there is no gay gene so it is still a matter of choice.

"I'm trying to prove that it's not 100 percent genetic," Schumm tells AOL News.

50% nature/50% nurture is a good guess for any behavior. Does anyone really believe the 100% genetic lie?

Marriage law was developed to protect children. Once gay marriage is legal, adopting agencies won't be able to discriminate.
