I wonder if the increase in divorce rates isn't somehow attributable to people that see marriage that way, Susan.

There are many people who are not suitable to be parents, for a variety of reasons. That fact doesn't make them "second class citizens" anywhere but leftist coffee klatches. In fact, for thoughtful people a self acknowledgement of a deficiency in the parental skill area would constitute a virtue.

I'm sure you could provide a loving home, Susan; I'm sure Erin does so...

You inserted a meaning which didn't exist. I clearly stated my preference, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not is your call.

Rachel, you like to present yourself as a logic loving individual, please explain the logic in this.

If, as you say, my opinion is only shared by a small portion ot the population, why has codifying human biology and common sense into states' constitutional amendments passed overwhelmingly everywhere the question has been put before voters? It even passed in California fer cryin' out loud.

However, I'd me remiss if I failed to point out that judicial mandates do not equate to public approval. In fact, that is why we're having this discussion in the first place.

Also, I'm aware that most people approve of giving SS couplings the same legal protections as married, for the most part I don't have any problems with that either. But I'm unaware that the subject of adoption was included in those polls.

I aver I don't have any hard data to back it up, but I'd bet posing...

Item first: I agree that it's sad that we have to codify human biology, but that in fact is exacty what were doing.

Item next; your research:

First link: "We summarize recent research findings suggesting that lesbian and gay parents are as likely as are heterosexual parents to provide home environments that support positive outcomes among children."

In other words, it's a handbook for gay rights activists.

Second link: "Having begun to respond to heterosexist and...

...that our country's founders were far seeing, but there it is:

Article 2; section 1: "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

"In the paper, "How Does the Sexual Orientation of Parents Matter?" professors Judith Stacey and Timothy J. Biblarz argue that children with lesbian and gay parents are more likely to depart from traditional gender roles."

Learning dysfunctional behaviors, Rachel, is harmful.

Also, to the discredit of your peer...

", they were no more likely to identify themselves as lesbian, gay or bisexual."

But they are much more apt to "experiment" with homosexual sex. Keeping it on the down low doesn't lessen the danger.

...while it's true that the leftist view of marriage may well include same sex households, human biology procludes that view from ever making it equivalent to traditional (ie: biologically viable male\female) marriage.

"No, the purpose of this is to WIN an election and then govern like a dictator implementing your pre-election ideas on the basis of a 50%-plus-one win."

Erm, you do realize you've just described Dayton's administration, don't ya Neal?
