How many times do I have to refer to every single predominantly black jurisdiction in this country? In each of those you find the prevalence of unstructured families and an uptick in social demise. It transcends socioeconomics. It's about depleted family structure. Mostly a lack of dads. It is as empirical as the sunrise.Kids need mother and father, not one of either. It doesn't mean homos can't be good parents. Kids just need both genders. Procreation was the given in the advent of marriage. One of those things its creators most likely didn't expect needed explanation.This argument is getting tired. The usual routine of using the anecdotal to try to make a larger point.Right. Because it aids in the effort required to raise children. Hetero couples can procreate, homo couples can't.
When you can show me the heterosexual couple that was denied a marriage license for their inability or unwillingness to procreate, you might have a point. You can't and so you don't.
Heteros who don't but can won't. But the possibility still exists thereby warranting the protection of tax breaks, etc.
Those who can't still provide the ideal circumstance of mother/father in the event of the choice for adoption. Both cases are moot for homos.
You're right...your failed argument is getting tired. Procreation is not a requirement for civil marriage. No one is denied one for an unwillingness or inability to procreate. No one. Further destroying your argument is the fact that some couples in some states are required to prove they cannot procreate before they can civilly marry.
The final nail in your failed argument is the fact that children don't need a mother and a father, they need parents.
One University of Virginia and George Washington University same-sex adoption study came to the same conclusions.
This study researched preschool-aged children who had been adopted as babies in heterosexual adoptions and same-sex adoptions, including both lesbian and gay adoptive parents. It went beyond earlier studies by researching outside evaluations of teachers and caregivers, as well as reports by the parents.
As with other studies, this study found that the children from same-sex adoptions were as well-adjusted as those from heterosexual adoptions.
This study also researched gender identification of the children to examine how children raised with same-sex parents identified with gender-related behavior. Overall, children start exhibiting gender behavior during the preschool years, with girls wanting to play with toys like dolls, and boys wanting toys like trucks and cars. This study found that all the children showed similar gender behavior as their same-aged peers, whether they were raised by same-sex parents or by heterosexual parents.
The study did find that, as with any family, the outcomes of the children hinged on: parenting abilities overall; the stresses in the family; and the satisfaction of the parents' relationship. And, the study found that heterosexual and same-sex adoptive parents exhibited these success factors equally.
Your argument is old, petty and defeated.
Thanks for sharing your uneducated opinion. Saying it over and over and over and over doesn't actually make it so.
It's noted that you provide no studies or evidence...just you repeating the same opinion over and over.
We don't raise our children in bubbles so no, kids don't need a mother and a father. All the studies show they need two parents, that's it.
Seriously, how do you explain that there is no difference in outcomes between children raised by gays and children raised by straights?
