Don't even go there, Warren.

The first thing I learned in statistics class is that statistics don't lie, but they can always be skewed.

Will you ignore the studies that show children raised in gay families have a HIGHER rate of college attendance, economic stability, and emotional well-being than children raised in the so-called "traditional" family?

It doesn't mean anything. Stats are as useless as the people who spout them.

My point had nothing to do with gay families, WalMart boycotts, or any other such silliness.

GS made an assertion stated as fact that I reject - that ANY familial arrangement is just as good as the other. That's just flat-out wrong.

If statistics aren't your thing, perhaps something more experiential: I can take you to a neighborhood in Nashville where single-parenthood is over 95%. We'll go down there and hang around a while, maybe at night.

We'll see firsthand the effect of single-parenthood on communities. Or better yet - my band is playing a service in TNs largest state prison this Sunday. Do you want me to get a show of hands of how many were raised without a father?

Once again, I am only commenting on GSs assertion that all familiar arrangements are equal. NOT anything having to do with homosexuality.
