I don't judge how others live. I base my assumptions on the results. I see in you an angry, frustrated man who does not appear to be happy at all with his own life, and even less happy with the lives of those he sees around him.
You are basing your assumptions on something you know absolutely nothing about. If you seriously think you can psychoanalyze someone over the internet, you should be looking inwards for problems, not outwards.
Then you pop off with the gay parents thing and suddenly, a light comes on. The studies are there. The kids of gay parents are not well adjusted, are not happy, have more mental health issues and other issues as well.
Actually this is a lie. I've been interested in these studies for a while and paid close attention to them. The aggregate of them is that basically people fall into gender stereotypes less. Its not true that they aren't well adjusted, are not happy, and have more mental health issues.
By the way, go around to your local high school. Ask how many kids are on Adderoll or other ADD medication. Ask how many have seen a therapist. Ask how many have are on depression medication. I've never been involved in any of that. I am not depressed, nor am I unhappy. I went to a good undergrad, traveled around the world, around the country, have had several long-term relationships, don't sleep around overly much, don't do drugs, not an alcoholic, and I'm at one of the best law schools in the country. I'm a success by pretty much any measure.
Go out and talk to people with gay parents. They will defend them. Why? Because gay parents are just as good parents as straight ones and its offensive to have people who don't know what they are talking about tell you whats best for you, or that how you were raised is somehow wrong.
I'm not judging your parents. I'm not judging you. I'm making a deduction based upon what you've said, and studies I've looked at. I've no doubt you had parents who loved you and treated you well. But facts are facts.
No, you've made an assumption. A deduction is something that logically follows, and no matter how sound you think your logic is, you are going WAY past your meagre evidence.
BTW, I'm not hostile towards gays, either, so your comment about "my ilk" was way off base. I lived with a gay couple and loved them dearly. My older boys were raised around them, they were family. My mother was very close to a gay couple when we were children. There was never any hatred or fear in our family regarding sexual orientation at any time.
Well good. The world has enough homophobes in it.
So who's making the inaccurate judgement here? I don't think it's an ideal situation for gay parents to raise kids. So what? I don't think half the parents in America are ideal parents. I'm not advocating taking their kids from them (I'll leave that to liberals who have a problem with homeschooling and alternative Christian lifestyles).
So what? So your wrong. And when I was 14, my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer. If she had died, who knows where I would have gone. Her partner, my other parent since birth, had little legal rights over me. Gay Marriage isn't some abstract pie in the sky issue, it effects real people and causes real problems.
