Study finds children do better with straight parents than homosexuals

[wadetheblade]

"Like it or not, guys, I think there is some truth to that statement. Kids do better if they have both a mother and a father in their lives. Most kids with single parents don't have nearly as good of a life for many reasons. For the purposes of this conversation, this has to do with having both a mother and father figure. I just have a hard time believing that with gay parents, having a father and a "mother", or the reverse cuts it. No disrespect to those that are gay, I have a couple of gay friends, and one's sexuality is their own business. It's just my opinion that homosexuality in itself isn't natural."




So your saying my life was not as good as yours because I was only raised with a mother..... your a dick! Nuff!

Its not natural! I don't care what people do with their lives but don't call it natural. A penis is meant to go into a mofemales vagina....not a hairy asshole....and as far as animaals doing it....look at the size of their brains.

Hahahaha, agreed man, agreed! This is exactly what I was getting at. I couldn't agree more.

and by "we" I mean human kind in general. just because you don't engage in certain sexual pursuits doesn't make them any less natural. im not into buttholes either but I welcome you to do whatever you want with yours or a willing partner's

Alright, I think I get the point, homosexuality doesn't only occur in humans. However, my reasoning is that a homosexual cannot reproduce, and the sex is not natural. I look at it as trying to put two puzzle pieces together that don't fit

of course it's natural... if it wasn't natural, people wouldn't do it. we are not artificial... anything you can think of that can be done with the human body is perfectly natural.

I'm always wary of these types of studies, even when they're done by public universities. Religious people throw money at the studies to provoke an outcome in their favor. Who knows what the real truth is. There are studies from trusted places showing the opposite as well.

I'm no expert on homosexuality, but according to what I've found on the Wikipedia:

Male giraffes have been observed to engage in remarkably high frequencies of homosexual behavior. After aggressive "necking", it is common for two male giraffes to caress and court each other, leading up to mounting and climax. Such interactions between males have been found to be more frequent than heterosexual coupling. In one study, up to 94% of observed mounting incidents took place between two males. The proportion of same sex activities varied between 30 and 75%, and at any given time one in twenty males were engaged in non-combative necking behavior with another male. Only 1% of same-sex mounting incidents occurred between females.

Original sources to these claims found here: Source

... and here's one about the bottlenose dolphin (this one's a little graphic):

Dolphins of several species engage in homosexual acts, though it is best studied in the bottlenose dolphins. Sexual encounters between females take the shape of "beak-genital propulsion", where one female inserts her beak in the genital opening of the other while swimming gently forward. Between males, homosexual behaviour includes rubbing of genitals against each other, which sometimes leads to the males swimming belly to belly, inserting the penis in the others genital slit and sometimes anus.

Hmm...interesting. But how common is this?

It's just my opinion that homosexuality in itself isn't natural.

Not natural to what extent? Homosexuality occurs all over the Animal Kingdom (and it's not limited to primates). Penguins and giraffes are known to engage in homosexual behavior.

The kids that do the picking have their own problems at home...

Excellent and profound point!

[Crow]

Well its s proven fact that kids will get picked on if their parents aren't normal!

The kids that do the picking have their own problems at home, and are merely taking it out on their peers as a way of 'venting'.

If the parents aren't gay, then they'll find something else to pick at (the way they dress, the music they listen to, if they're "nerds", etc.)

Just one big social experiment these days.
