Why don't you post a link to the Prince's Trust Youth Index from a few years ago again, and tell us how it concludes that gay marriage is bad for children because 50% of gay marriages lack an opposite gender role model?
2010 is the ancient past now eh? Not quite five years ago is "an old fashioned notion"?
That alone should be alarming to anyone reading your post. The hub of society and the formative nest of children (marriage, a thousands-year old term defined even in your formative home, Montrovant, as "father/mother, man/wife") should not change so rapidly in experimental form so that less than five years prior is seen as "outdated history"..
..what will be outdated today in less than five years hence with regard to this untried experiment?
LOL, you once again show you don't understand how quotes work. I never said, nor implied, that the Prince's Trust Youth Index you continuously link to is "the ancient past" nor "and old fashioned notion". My use of quotations makes sense as I am actually quoting your post. You, on the other hand, pulled the old fashioned notion and outdated history phrases out of thin air, yet put them in quotes as though I had said it.
I said the Index you link is from a few years ago. 2010 is, in fact, a few years ago. Strange how, if lack of same-gender role models is such an important factor in determining the lives of children, the Index has not continued to track it in subsequent years. Why is that, do you think? If the conclusion of the Index is that lack of same gender role models is such a detriment, why did they stop asking about it? Unless, of course, the actual point of the Index is not same gender role models, but is instead the overall happiness and well being of youths in the UK, as the Index itself states......
Also, marriage has not always been defined as one man and one woman. Even leaving out homosexual marriage, polygamy has been practiced and accepted in societies as well, not to mention marriage with one man and one woman but multiple lovers. So the implication that a one man, one woman marriage is the way it has always been and that the word marriage never changes is certainly untrue. Even just in this country marriage has undergone numerous changes prior to same sex marriage; from marriage between races, to the rights of women, to the availability of divorce.
There is a large difference between wanting marriage to only be between one man and one woman and claiming or implying that the definition of marriage has remained constant.
