anyway, @ 2-0-Sixx, bro, HOW MANY studies have been conducted outside of the U.S? I asked that question like, 5 pages ago
How in the world would I know the answer to this question?
You talk about all the countless studies that have been done for scientific purposes so post them up. Please provide some proof apart from a weblog.
I didn’t post the blog link as proof or evidence. It was simply posted because I thought it was very interesting and informative. (It had nothing to do with gay adoption.)
I will get back to you with more links on the research that has been done. I’m at work right now and don’t have much time to search through the numerous sites that I have read articles/reports/etc. on. I’ll try to post some up later, so please be patient with me comrade.
As far as the whole "gross factor", yea it is nasty, but it's also unnatural.
What do you mean by unnatural? It seems to me that there have always been gays...since the time of man. All throughout the world, most countries report approximately 10% of the population is gay. For the most part, those numbers are relatively consistent.
Am I grossed out by two women being together? No, but I still think it's UNNATURAL. The female figure is a beautiful thing and of course I'm not gonna be grossed out by it, but I still think it's unnatural.
Again, what is unnatural? Is it also unnatural for two heterosexuals to engage in S&M, fetishes, sex toys, etc.?
Can they reproduce if they wanted to? No they cannot, therefore, it's not natural.
Oh, ok. So you're definition of unnatural is whether or not a couple can produce offspring. What about a women or man that cannot have babies due to medical issues? Should they not be allowed to adopt children?
On the same line of thinking, I don't think lesbians should raise children any more than gay men should raise children. As far as the single parent thing goes, It's more natural for a single parent to raise a kid than two parents of the same gender in my opinion.
Again, what the hell is natural?! Are their guidelines and rules to raising a family? Should every family be exactly the same, like Leave It To Beaver or some shit?! How is one parent more natural than two parents of the same sex? IMO, two parents is MUCH better than one.
As much as you may think you know what perfect is or what the perfect family should be like, this is the real world comrade and no family is perfect. We have single mothers raising five children; grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters raising children; legal guardians, etc. etc. etc. Why don’t we make all those cases illegal too?
No matter where you come from or what kind of background, there will always be problems. I was raised basically by my grandma during my early years and my father after that. It was hard at times, but that’s life. We all have challenges. Some people have disabled parents or parents who are too strict/not strict enough, etc. but that doesn’t make it wrong, nor does it mean people should be able to FORCE their beliefs on society (which is what I believe you're doing by opposing gay adoption).
Like I said before, I don't think it's a biological
Do you believe it's a choice? If you do, do you think YOU can chose to be gay?
In case you’re interested,
HEREis a recent article from the NYtimes regarding gay men responding to different kinds of scents than straight men, which to me suggests gayness is biological.
Oh yeah,
HERE is an article from sciencedaily.com which states “In the first-ever study combing the entire human genome for genetic determinants of male sexual orientation, a University of Illinois at Chicago researcher has identified several areas that appear to influence whether a man is heterosexual or gay”, which also suggests its biological.
There are serial killing monkeys, sea lions, dogs, etc etc etc. Just because they are found in other species doesn't mean it's perfectly normal, and healthy.
What?! No, there are no such things as serial killing monkeys or any other animal, besides humans.
For the record, I'm not a crazed religous zealot.
I know you're not.
My stance has nothing to do with religion, morals, or anything aside from homosexuality being unnatural. Just to make everything clear, as I stated in my original post, gay folks can do whatever they want as long as it's not infringing on MY freedoms. However, I do not think they should be able to raise a child because I believe it infringes on that child's freedoms.
Can you please explain to me how adopting a child is infringing on their freedoms?
