Expect research shows that same-sex parents don't have a negative effect on children and children of same-sex parents grow up just fine. It's often been shown that the only real issue is bullying, which is a cultural issue and not an issue actually caused by same-sex marriage/adoption.
? wat

if a kid gets adopted by a same-sex couple and they get bullied for it, how is the cause NOT the fact that the kid has same-sex parents? the only real issue is bullying, and is a cultural issue, and is caused by same-sex adoption

Teens get bullied for being homosexuals, but kids don't exactly understand same sex marriage, so its very rare to hear about getting bullied over that.

Because the issue isn't same-sex couples, it's a culture that raises kids to bully other kids with different life styles. Homophobia is a cultural issue that is learned.

So if a kid gets bullied because its parents are poor, then by your reasoning poor people shouldn't be allowed to have kids.

@Enryx25

It is better if you remove "I'm against LGBT people". Dont want haters here and they don't know what they are talking about. They are NOT ABSOLUTELY HUMAN! NO FEELINGS. PLEASE REMOVE IT.

Only positive feedbacks here. Just suggest. Please ? Just getting tired of haters and they are monsters.

And I don't want to comment on it because don't want to have an arguments with homophobic people. They are SICK people with no love and understanding. Too complicate and waste time. No comments.

EDIT: Homophobia is a disease and incurable people! No love, caring and respect then they are not human being at all! None!

-When a man and a woman want to marry : NO ! Marriage is bad and outdated! It's just a piece of paper! it's better to stay single and have children without marriage! "Researches" show that staying single is best for you!

-Same sex marriage : YES! that's freedom of expression! "Researches" show that gay/lesbian marriage have no negative effect! We should encourage it !

Hypocritical society.

So I actually never looked into how same-sex marriage affects a child. I did some research on it and as long as the parents are loving people then the child will end up fine. A loving home produces good children who knew? As for the child being picked on for having two parents of the same gender, that is more of an issue with society than anything else.

Expect no one is saying that same-sex marriage doesn't fall under the former, but that it should be allowed to fall under the former. The same notion of marriage being a pointless piece of paper can still apply to same sex marriage, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed. If your argument is that marriage is pointless, then all marriage should stop existing, period. Same-sex marriage shouldn't be the only thing removed, so should heterosexual marriage. If you are saying that same-sex marriage should be held to the same pointless standard as heterosexual marriage, than that's literally what people want. Same-sex marriage should be consider just as pointless heterosexual marriage or in other words it should just be called "Marriage."
Of course I am guessing you are saying that there's a double standard because no one cares about marriage, but people still support same-sex marriage. Which I shall reply, yeah and so? People don't have to care about marriage to support it. Equally research still backups that same-sex parents raise perfectly healthy kids and no one has refuted that research thus far.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
