How can you say that? Most marriages have a 65% of failure. You thinks that a good environment for a child? It does not matter if the parents are the same sex, as long as the parents love the child.Lord Kanti said:why should rights be granted based on what or who a person has sex with? if gay marriage should be legal, why not polygamy? Marriage is defined as a union between man and woman. It's that simple. if they want to have rights to legally assign thier insurance policies etc to thier gay lover that's between them and thier own business. changing the definition to bend exisiting laws and inconsistacies is not the way to go about things.
It has long been established that the healthiest environment for a child to be raised in is with a father and mother 2 parent houshold. If it is legally acceptable for a man to marry a man, and as a recognised legal couple of 2, a gay married couple would then have legal momentum to challenge an adoption agency to adopt a child, putting the child at risk of not being able to be raised in the most prestine of conditions. would aman and man be suitable parents? perhaps, perhaps not... either way a 20/20 special has already addressed the issue, and the results were astoundingly against same sex couples with children; most importantly, the children of the couples were against the unions.
Put simply, legalizing gay marriage jeopradizes other institutions intertwined with the basic laws of marriage at hand. A plethora of loopholes will have to be sewn if prop 8 does not pass.
Please provide a non-religious source to back up this claim.Lord Kanti said:It has long been established that the healthiest environment for a child to be raised in is with a father and mother 2 parent houshold.
Lord Kanti said:Please take the time to use google and do a little research on what the best environment for a child is.
or better yet, take a child development class and get back to me.
You made the claim, you back it up. That's how these things work. I don't owe you my time to research everthing you say just because you said it.Lord Kanti said:Please take the time to use google and do a little research on what the best environment for a child is.

Penn and Tellers bullshit (as would any other source) has gone though and shown a child raised by gay parents turn out just the same as a child raised by both a mom and dad, actually probably turn out more then normal as gay parents are less likely to argue then straight parents imho.
Translation: I dont have a sourceLord Kanti said:Please take the time to use google and do a little research on what the best environment for a child is.

Would you have used a book that said anything else?Lord Kanti said:Every child development book I have used states that the healthiest environment for child rearing is with a mother father 2 parent household.
good point. Just because its in a book doesn't mean its true. Its called a bias. To prove any of us wrong you need to need to have actually numbers from a reliable and an unbalanced source.Destructobot said:Would you have used a book that said anything else?Lord Kanti said:Every child development book I have used states that the healthiest environment for child rearing is with a mother father 2 parent household.
1. Early on laws stated that marriage was between 2 people.Lord Kanti said:why should rights be granted based on what or who a person has sex with? if gay marriage should be legal, why not polygamy?
