I think you've successfully made the case against adoption. I think there should be more abortion to eliminate those kids that trouble so many adults just before they kill themselves.

And I will be encouraging any gay friends who want to raise children to use in vitro fertilization methods instead.

Excellent article!

By the way, almost all of those kids up for adoption come from clueless and irresponsible *straight* women and men don't they? cause gay people are not sending kids into adoption last I checked. Again, thanks for a great article on the dark side of adoption.

Wow and I am sure this has been a study that has lasted over 60 years??? Im pretty sure all the millions of people who have committed suicide over the past 1000 years have been a product of gay parents.

What crap.

I am not sure this is true as entirely as it's presented in the study (which seem to have astronomical numbers).

among 574 white homosexual males,
• only 3% reported fewer than 10 sexual partners
• 6% reported 10 to 24 sexual partners
• 8% reported 25 to 49 sexual partners
• 9% reported 50 to 99 sexual partners
• 15% reported 100 to 249 sexual partners
• 17% reported 250 to 499 sexual partners
• 15% reported 500 to 999 sexual partners
• 28% reported 1000 or more sexual partners

These numbers seem skewed badly to me, but if they do tend to have shorter relationships, I certainly wouldn't put that as a major factor considering the sheer number of single mothers and the stress that induces


The study is obviously cherry-picking data to formulate a conclusion to fit a political agenda.

Why no mention of lesbian couples in the data? Why? Because the data would not fit into the thesis they were presenting. Of course gay males have less stable relationships. So do single, heterosexual dads! FAIL.

By the way, how many male/male couples adopt? Very few. The majority by far are lesbian couples (who have very stable relationships I might add).

This is a perfect example of a "study" funded by a group for the purpose of spreading propaganda. Kinda reminds me of something tobacco industry study would come up with; "Cigarettes reduce your chance for a heart attack because they reduce obesity. Blah blah blah."

In response to the OP:

Thank you for providing reference to the articles which back up your position. However, please consider this article, too:

Children raised by lesbian parents fare as well as they would in heterosexual households, new research suggests.

The finding, which comes from a review of essentially all studies on the topic of same-sex parents and the health of their children, helps to tease out politics and science on this highly divisive issue. In general, kids in both heterosexual and lesbian households had similar levels of academic achievement, number of friends and overall well-being.

As you can see, the article you cited and the article I cited are in direct contradiction. That simply leaves us with the question of which of these studies is more trustworthy. The article you cited is a Catholic journal. As Catholicism has a clearly stated objection to same-sex couples, we are forced to conclude that a journal which ascribes to be Catholic does have something to gain by denouncing a homosexual lifestyle, regardless of whether or not their study is fair and accurate. However, the article I have cited is a scientific research journal. Science has nothing to gain by denouncing or promoting homosexuality, because there is no "church" of science so to speak; there is no institution which provides all scientists with a clearly stated position on homosexuality, as the church of Catholicism does for all Catholics.

So, while I cannot give a conclusion as to which of these studies was performed more accurately, I can conclude that the article I have provided is more trustworthy, because it lacks the bias of a religious agenda. Hopefully you will at least consider this as valid evidence against your claim.
