Totally directed at Tony, but whatever.
You quoted me, so I thought you were refering to my quote - my bad
QUOTE(Maximumbeing)
We can't all be raised in the perfect nukuler (fun) family, as you've said above. However, you can expect the same results in the developement of a child raised by same sex parents as you would in a child raised by only one parent. If you wont let gays raise a kid, how can you let just one parent raise a kid? It doesn't make sense.
If given the option between taking a baby orphan and giving it to a gay couple, a single parent, or a "nuclear" family (all other important things being equael): Who would you give it too? Wouldnt the child be better off with the nuclear family? I think so. What I am talking about is optimizing a childs life as much as possible. You seem to want just give them out to anyone who will take them.

Not only that, but a straight baby being raised by homosexual parents must have some adverse effects on the child's sexuality. I'm not saying it'll make them gay, but it will more than likely cause sexual/emotional disorders. It's surprisingly easy to fuck a kid up sexually for life.
That is definitely true for all of my friends that were raised with a gay parent.

Teen pregnancy/high divorce rate, alcholism, television and an under regulated corporate agenda are the things that are harming the "family values" that people speak of. There are other things, the overzealous drive for money, exchanging quality time with their children inorder to afford next years beamer. The job market seems to be concentrated in areas where no one lives by, so more people nowadays spend more time commuting than they do with their children.
I think that it is starting to change. More mothers are sacrificin materialistic wants and becoming stay at home Mothers, and more dads are sacrificing promotions for family time. I havent seen any data on it, but it does appear to be a trend atleast in my area of the country.
