The homosexual threat to marriage

EVERY single study that determined the existence of the above benefits of marriage, were studies of married MEN and WOMEN exclusively. AND we might assume those benefits would be realized by ANY two consenting adults who might choose to marry and nothing indicates it would only be so in the case of gays.

 

If we can assume that same sex couples would enjoy the same benefits from marriage, why is that not enough to justify encouraging their formation?

 

Are you trying to disprove your own claim?

With almost half of all kids in a traditional family, its not elusive at all.

 

It could be. But, it could be for ANY two consenting adults who choose to marry, NOT just those who happen to be gay, If you want such a preference for gays, you need SOME justification for doing so.

 

No, I am showing that we heterosexuals are more to blame than anyone else as it seems hypocritical to focus on gays when IMO heterosexuals are more to blame for the demise of the traditional family.

It is from my perspective because it takes more than having a mom and dad to be a traditional family by my measure. What constitutes a traditional family to you? A home that consists of a mom, a dad, and kids? Is a home with an alcoholic mom and dad who neglect or abuse their child a "traditional family? To me a traditional family is a mom, dad, kid/s. and a safe, caring, and loving environment which is most conducive of healthy growth... this is what I argue is as elusive as Bigfoot and again argue that it is us heterosexuals who are the primary cause of the decline in the traditional family.

I further argue that a same sex home can also be a safe, caring, and loving environment which is conducive of healthy growth and welfare of a child.

 

As the traditional family of mothers and fathers raising their own children, is the most common arrangement for children to be in, your claims of the demise of the traditional family is premature. Whether its 46% or 99%, children with their married mother and father have lower rates of poverty, juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, HS dropouts and criminal conviction as an adult, than children who are not.

 

Since the vast majority of gay people getting married do not have children, what in the **** does our post have to do with a threat to marriage?

It's like saying that gay people threaten marriage because frogs are green.

And when asked what green frogs and gay people have to do with threatening marriage, you answer, "Well, because not all frogs are green, don't you understand, that means gay people threaten marriage ..."

Your silly stats about children are from studies about hetro households - unless they are stats pertaining only to children of adopted married gay couples, they make as much sense as the green frogs ...

Your argument is of no value.

 

True enough. So how do you make others conform to your view of the traditional family?

 

Nobody needs to be made to conform. And its not my view what is the tradition. It simply has been the tradition.
