While the White House claims its stimulus package “supported as many as 3.5 million jobs,” none were yielded from a $152,000 project to ready lesbians for “adoptive parenthood.” The $833 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), commonly known as the stimulus, awarded the tustees of Clark University, in Worcester, Mass., $152,000 to interview roughly 50 lesbian couples about their adoption experiences.

“The goal of this project is to investigate the unique strengths and potential challenges of lesbian couples across the transition to adoptive parenthood,” the grant states. “Given that parental mental health has implications for child development, and the fact that adoption can be a challenging process, it is important to understand these couples' adjustment to the parental role.”

The grant noted that “there is evidence that lesbian couples possess certain strengths (e.g., a tendency to share domestic labor) but also face challenges (e.g., social stigma).”

The study set out to interview 45 to 55 lesbian and heterosexual couples in the months before and after they adopted a child. The couples were recruited through adoption agencies and “gay parent organizations.”

The interviews were then analyzed to be used for “agencies, therapists, and other community systems that work with adoptive couples.”

“Given that a) lesbians are increasingly likely to adopt, and b) evidence suggests that lesbians possess unique strengths and vulnerabilities, it is important to understand how these factors impact couples' transition to parenthood,” the grant says.

The project, entitled, “Transition to Adoptive Parenthood,” was funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, and it created “0.00” jobs, according to the “jobs created” category.

and it created “0.00” jobs

NO, it created some NEGATIVE amount of jobs, as it removes capital, and multipliers of that capital, from the private sector.

If we OBEY God, we won't have this problem.
Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.

It was given by our Heavenly Father to test us
to see ... if we will OBEY our Heavenly Father,
and abide by His commandments, statues, and ordinances.

Someone once asked

"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"

The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE".

rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]

1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.


Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.




2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.

They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.

3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.

And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

[Yosemitest]

I look forward to watching Jesus Christ grab them by the neck and throwing them into the Lake of Fire.

And Americans voted for four more years of this.

Our money going to reward the left’s biggest donors.

“...$152,000 to interview roughly 50 lesbian couples...”

What a disgusting waste of our money.
