When in every newsroom of the country you have a "gay" agenda and reporting faction do you really think that this issue will be discussed honestly?

How has the issue been treated so far? I have seen "Dateline" reports with happy children being reared by white middle class gay parents or parent- taking them to little league and dance class- then they show, for "balance", some bible thumper religious nut (usually ugly or unattractive) saying it is wrong in dumb ass terms. Seem familiar? It is - becasue that is how AIDS victims were presented to us throughout the entire epirdemic at it's height and even today. Ryan White? Remember him- the poster boy for aids- desingned by the mass media as the face of AIDS?

The dishonsty behind gay issues in this country and how they are presented are so legion that I can't believe you actually think an honest discusssion is even possible in our mass media?

Maybe you should revert to finding some hard data. This touchie feelie stuff is getting old. If gay parents suck as it were based on the data, then your position will prevail, at least in most places. If you just think putting aside the issue of whether or not the children of gays are as successful as other children, that you just dislike it aesthetically, or on religious grounds, or as against nature, or because your intuition tells you the data must be false due to certain hard wiring a priori assumptions, then you will lose, in most places, eventually. See how it works in the greatest nation on God's Green Earth?
