Don’t be sorry. I don’t know what makes you believe you’ve upset me. I thought we were having a conversation. Perhaps this “misunderstanding” is my fault. I will, at least, accept my share of the blame.
All the studies, of which I have knowledge, indicate that most (“average”) homosexual relationships last, for little more than a few weeks, resulting in seven such relationships a year (hence the reason for saying that “committed homosexual unions” generally prove to be an oxymoron).
Statistics, of course, are subject to further discovery . . . always. Absent “further discovery,” I will continue to insist that “committed homosexual unions” generally prove to be an oxymoron.
"Generally". The phenomenon, however rare it is, needs to be studied by sociologists, unless we want our laws to be shaped by this rarest of birds. I only used the expression negatively in my trailer to the article:
The study, therefore, is more significant in discussing the impact of family breakdown in general, than it is in discussing committed homosexual unions who might dabble in parenting.
