The point is that homosexuals are the "scientists" producing the studies that say its perfectly okay for homosexuals (themselves) to raise children. What if it isn't Eric? What if its not okay?

I believe the point is that this study was, presumably, accompanied by some evidence to support it's conclusion and that it might be more useful to examine that evidence than to make ad hominem assertions of bias.

That's precisely what the point was. The left loves to challenge motivations rather than argue premises. When the right does it too, it tends to add legitimacy to that approach.

Publius Scipio states:
"I believe the point is that this study was, presumably, accompanied by some evidence to support it's conclusion and that it might be more useful to examine that evidence than to make ad hominem assertions of bias."
The article posted states:
"...co-authored a study which claimed that the children of lesbian couples are as happy and well-adjusted as children living in traditional homes."

Publius Scipio: Evidence supporting the above conjecture is obviously of a subjective nature, and therefore its entirely appropriate of anyone to be questioning the source of such data. This is empirical data, nothing more, nothing less. I can think of no better way to examine data based on opinion and observation than to examine the authors of such a study. I think you're just hiding behind your PC tinted lens ignoring the obvious.
If this were the Olympics and not homosexuals, and the W. German judge gave the W. German team a perfect 10 in figure skating not child rearing would it be easier for you to join in the discussion instead of attacking those of us who are? Could you then question the motives of the...W German judges?

No one get me wrong, i have no bone ;) in this pro-gay/anti-gay debate, but don't try and snowball ;) me into believing that this is an attack on homosexuality by a bunch of "homophobes" and not an attack on a blatantly bias study.

Thats another one that gets me. Is there such a thing as Homophobes? I think it could be yet another trick of the left to shame people into accepting something they don't want to.
It seems to me that it would pretty hard to prove that someone hates homosexuals because they themselves are in fact gay yet not willing to admit it. Is there some group of gay men out there that used to be afraid of other gay men until they realized, "Hey I'm afraid of them because they're just like me".

Yup that holds water.
