Romney Supports Gay Adoption

Sociology: Study examines gender roles of children with gay parents

Stacey and Biblarz found some evidence that children in gay households are more likely to buck stereotypical male-female behavior. For example, boys raised by lesbians appear to be less aggressive and more nurturing than boys raised in heterosexual families. Daughters of lesbians are more likely to aspire to become doctors, lawyers, engineers and astronauts.

In addition, heterosexual mothers tend to encourage sons to participate in historically "masculine" games and activities – such as Little League – and daughters in more "feminine" pursuits – such as ballet. In contrast, lesbian mothers had no such interest – their preferences for their children's play were gender neutral.
....

In two studies, a greater number of young adult children raised by lesbians had participated in or considered a same-sex relationship or had an attraction to the same sex. However, statistically, they were no more likely to identify themselves as lesbian, gay or bisexual.

o Adolescent and young adult girls raised by lesbian mothers appear to be more sexually adventurous and less chaste.

FROM a pro homosexual research..

Dr. Trayce Hansen's Writings

Pro-homosexual researchers frequently claim studies find "no differences" between children raised by homosexuals and heterosexuals. Amazingly, these claims are made in the abstracts of research studies that actually uncovered differences (Williams, 2000). The tendency to deny or downplay differences has been noted by pro-homosexual parenting researchers. After reviewing 21 studies, Stacey and Biblarz (2001) concluded that in regards to gender, sexual behavior and sexual preference, homosexually parented children are different from heterosexually parented children. But despite such findings, many continue to proclaim "no differences" in order to galvanize support for homosexual access to fertility services, adoption, custody, and same-sex marriage. Encouraging support for a cause is fine, as long as the information being disseminated is true. But in this case, it isn't.

I think that although these studies can't be used to make definitive statements, they are suggestive that homosexual parents are rearing disproportionate numbers of non-heterosexual children. This isn't surprising since parents are the primary influencers of children. Children raised by parents with different lifestyles, values, and attributes, are likely to be different from other children (Baumrind 1995). Stacey and Biblarz (2001) wrote, "... it is difficult to conceive of a credible theory of sexual development that would not expect the adult children of lesbigay parents to display a somewhat higher incidence of homoerotic desire, behavior, and identity than children of heterosexual parents."

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the methodological flaws in the existing homosexual-parenting studies (including small, non-representative samples, lack of control groups, and non-longitudinal designs) highlight the need for scientifically rigorous and unbiased research, so that more definitive conclusions concerning sexual and gender identity outcomes of homosexually parented children can be drawn. In the meantime, we look to existing studies for suggestive trends.

.
Based on the average found in the following nine studies, 14% of children raised by homosexual parents develop homosexual or bisexual preferences. These studies reported rates of non-heterosexuality ranging from 8% to 21%. The most frequently reported percentages were 14% and 16% (two studies each). For comparison purposes, data from the best national surveys report that approximately 2% of the general population is non-heterosexual (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, and Michaels,1994). Therefore, if these percentages hold true in better designed studies, children raised by homosexuals appear to be about seven times more likely to develop homosexual or bisexual preferences than children raised by heterosexuals. And, as was explained earlier, 14% may be an under-estimate due to the young ages of many of the subjects in these studies.

JUST what the world needs - more of this choice lifestyle so we end up not having a nation - because heterosexuals will become obsolete.

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I think not.

I'm glad when any person is willing to adopt a child who needs a home.

I never see you condemn those scandals as viciously as you condemn even a HINT of homosexuality.

I dont talk about it because:
1- I doubt very much there is a single thread pronouncing them as wonderful.
2- Its not the OP.

Sure - meantime there are sickos in the world.
In a study of 17 children - 50% were molested by their homosexual non biological father. IE - adoptive dad.

So - yah - its all good in your eyes.

Just throw them somewhere... and let life happen.

So we rather see this - molested children than say - a genuinely loving couple - mom and dad - that balances a child??

Yah ok. I see how you think - just give em up to whoever.

The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition

AND....

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,141 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."142 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.

If you want to find something random about me to attribute my dissatisfaction to, that's fine i guess.

Do i make digs at Christians now, by blaming you being a Christian for how you use the bible to say nasty things?
I don't really want to as it would be rude and overgeneralising.

You made no point of what you said being anything other than literal until now.

Whether Jesus was saying what they were deserving of such action, or saying something like that would still be better than hell, it doesn't really matter; it's still an insulting thing to say.

On a side note; did you really feel saying gay couples who raise children are better off dead a good way to say they are going to hell?

YOU do NOT comprehend.

ANYONE who puts an innocent child into scandal - and adopting out children to gays is scandal per the Church who teaches us - it is better to tie around the neck.....etc

And gays are not qualified to raise children unless we want a full throttle dysfunctional gay nation.
According to studies the children they raise tend to go towards homosexuality and bisexuality.

THIS is a secular concern as well.
Any nation who loses its fertility which we see because of the abortions and BC now - most nations are economically in trouble, but add fuel to that fire and produce more homosexuals and the offspring numbers will greatly decrease.

ANY nation that wishes to remain strong - needs the traditional family.

It's nice that the sources that you're referring to WA either:
Don't say ANYTHING about gender effecting children, and that the article is slapping their own conclusions onto the paper.

Or, just says the children are less likely to take up traditional gender roles, something parents shouldn't push their kids into anyway.

OR a psychologist's comments on research.(Something she nigh ever leaves sources to) And judging by her choice of subjects, she's doing her best to make sure people know how dangerous homosexuals, feminists and other dirty liberals are.
A member of the "homosexuals are paedophiles" crowd.

Yeah real credible.

But i feel this conversation probably falls under the jurisdiction of...Saint Jude was it?

No not at all, because we need less masculine men to arm and defend us.
Sure.
I do not agree with you, however.

God's Laws are perfection for humanity - and though our sinfulness will not experience the fullness of His Wisdom on earth - our errors will turn against us every single time.
EVERY single time.

The problem is - it takes a nation - or science too flippin long to figure out God's WISDOM is far superior to ours.

By that time, we have a mess. OR an apocalypse.
Either way - it's not prudent to demand satans laws be followed.

Tho some say its irrational to discuss that - time and again humans are so duh.

Just so you know - the first one i posted - was pro homosexual.
The didnt report everything - so i added in the additional truths.

Say what you like - time is telling us and will tell us we messed up.

Then we will be 'O shucks its too late to fix it'.

AND the other site showed out of 17 adopted young boys - 50 were molested compared to 6% in a heterosexual couple.

Its called PEDARESTY - and the findings are incredibly high that men who are homosexual tend to molest young boys/teens.
Pedophiles molest young girls.

Its not a CROWD - its researched.
Facts are facts - even if we hate them.

And do you know why the children are more likely to be gay or bisexual?

Maybe because their kids are less likely to stay closeted when it comes to their sexual orientation.
I'm just speculating, but this research doesn't answer the question as to "why" it happens, just that it does happen.

I wont even get into the whole why people rape others shtick.
But if i remember correctly, the Catholic Church used homosexuality as a scapegoat for their problems in that department. So to argue against such is against Catholicism and posting such could get me in trouble.
Thanks for pointing out that splinter in my eye though.

WA, you copied "However, statistically, they were no more likely to identify themselves as lesbian, gay or bisexual", but you only colored the identify themselves as lesbian, gay or bisexual.. Did you err, were you intending to mislead, or did you intend to highlight the fact that these children adopted by lesbians were not more likely to identify as homosexual?
