If its a good role model then it shouldn't matter. There are far more kids in this world from the male female role model to compare to the other and there are far mored f'ed up kids from male/female as well. In my personal experiences I have seen great kids from lesbian couples and horrible ones. From the traditional family as well. I have no experience with the gay couple family. It just sounds like opinion rather than fact. That is a nearly perfect sentence.
uhhh....... yeah uh...uh...how about those Packers...I mean I mean...been watching the olympics tiga?....no wait....uh...... Sophia Vergara is pretty hot isn't she?
your anecdotal evidence is not relevant. children form their abilities to deal with people via their relationships with theit parents. women with shitty dads have problems with men thir whole lives (this is where strippers come from). men with abusive mothers struggle with women. the perfect scenario is a steady an supportive parent of each gender, it is the best way to socialize the child. what i just said is true, but is too politically explosive for mainstream sociologists and psychologists to say, even if true. thanks.
It's fine with me, too. Personally I think the gay community is too stuck on insisting on marriage when civil unions are on the table. I think it is a small compromise for a big gain. As has been mentioned before, the government should get out of the "marriage" business and leave that to churches and grant only civil unions to those who don't want to marry in a church whether gay or straight. It would end this largely semanitc problem of not being treated equal because they can't get "married" if the government only sanctioned civil unions. Gay couples know that most churches won't "marry" them and who gives a crap when to "marry" would then mean going through some stuffy church ceremony just to get a gold-stamped certificate signed by the Pope or whoever that says you are now "married". Homo.
I know if I say something that I saw here and experienced there blah blah blah..... it is anecdotal. But, it is experience and everything is nothing without it. A life lesson to one is ancedotal to another. So when I say why, I don't see it so show me why. socialization and production are not the same. My question is why are the children more productive. There are plenty of lovable people out there that are very social but not very productive. I just want to know why a traditional family situation makes the child more productive. There is only one perfect scenario and many children have to grow up with less than that. I think the whole traditional family argument revolves around the perfect scenario. Shit aint always that easy.
When I call a person a productive member of society it doesn't mean they manufacture the most widgets. It means they are well adjusted and happy and make a good friend or spouse or brother. They produce happiness.
So then we should let gay people marry so the children they adopt can grow up in a two-parent home. I'm not sure that your claim is accurate, but if you really feel that way then you may have just talked yourself into legalizing same-sex marriages.
