And? Is producing a child the requirement for legal marriage? Anywhere?
And? Has a gay couple ever worried about a pregnancy from a sexual encounter between the two?
Shall we continue a discussion about how different the dynamics are between these couples?
Nope. No accidental pregnancies. No "oops" in the back seat of a Buick, requiring a shotgun marriage ending in divorce.
See, we carefully plan our children usually, ensuring we are economically and emotionally ready for children so when they come, we can dedicate more of our time and energy to them. It's why we do so well raising children.
Parents are not interchangeable parts which can be gender-shuffled without creating a deficit in the development of children.
Sociologists have demonstrated over and over again that the optimal nurturing environment for young children is in a home where they are raised in a two-parent family headed by a man and a woman who are married to each other.
Further, men and women are fundamentally different from each other, in every cell of their bodies, meaning that a father has a unique contribution to make to the lives of his children as does a mother. As Hansen points out, males tend to "embrace reason over emotion, rules over relationship, risk-taking over caution, and standards over compassion, while (females) generally embrace the reverse."
Opposite sex parenting gives children examples of both masculinity and femininity in action, and the complementary interaction of these qualities enables them to grow up with a healthy and balanced view of life and relationships.
Same-sex marriage definitely isn't in the best interest of children.
Walter R. Schumm of Kansas State University verifies that a homosexual home environment has a profound and disturbing impact on a childs sexual identity. According to Schumms research, the percentage of children of gay and lesbian parents who adopt non-heterosexual identities ranges anywhere from 16% to 57%, with daughters of lesbians at the highest risk.
... according to Charles Cooke writing at NRO. Less than 2 percent of children in intact, biological families reported experiencing sexual abuse, but the figure for same-sex couples is a frightening 23 percent.
