The simple and irrefutable fact is that there is no credible evidence to show that same sex marriage and parenting by gay folks harms anyone. Yet conservatives won't leave it alone.
Except the reams and reams and tomes and tomes of research showing that a boy not having a father or a girl not having a mother for life is deleterious to them. Just that. And that uniquely of all parenting situations, "gay marrieds" possess a contract they share with prospective children that guarantees them the absence of a father or mother under their roof for life.
Just that. Same sex marriage actually, truly, provenly, and proximally hurts children for the duration of their entire lives; using a contract no less. That is illegal also per contract laws where both adults and children share vital benefits. See Obergefell Opinion page 15 for details; and the Infancy Doctrine.. Fun fact, children's interests in the contract re: their stated benefits and shared-status, was not separately briefed to the court in Obergefell. That means the USSC in Obergefell did not follow law in rendering its decision.
It is stunning to me that anyone can look at the complex, complicated, difficult job of effective parenting and raising a sane, functional, productive human being, which is incredibly hard to do even when you have a mother and father working at it together, and just casually decide that it's no big hairy deal if you simply subtract one of them from the equation. Meh. It's like looking at the schematics for building a nuclear reactor, and then deciding that the lead shielding isn't necessary.
It's stunning to me to listen to you people rant and rave about this issue, claiming that kids need a mother and a father, while having the temerity to expect that your appeals to ignorance anybody except those who already agree with you. I have yet to see a shred of credible evidence to back up you claims. There are numerous studies that clearly refute your crap and it's clear to me that what you are doing is motivated by nothing less than bigotry and that none of you care a whit about the kids.
"It is clear to me that I'm right, because THAT'S WHAT I WANT!"
Uh huh. Okay, first of all, your first sentence made no actual sense. Maybe dial back on your "how DARE you!" outrage enough to be coherent, huh?
Second of all, perhaps you could define for me what would constitute "credible evidence" in your books, and not immediately be met with your fingers shooting into your ears while you scream, "Doesn't prove anything, because REASONS!"
Third, savor the irony of you dancing around, screaming, "You haven't shown me evidence!" before turning around and saying, "There are numerous studies that say I'm right!" without actually naming any. And don't even get me started on your absurd claim that your mere dislike of what I'm saying constitutes not only proof that I'm wrong, but ALSO makes you able to make definitive statements to what I think and feel and what my motivations are.
From where I sit, you're not even clear on what YOU think and why, let alone prepared to make assertions about anyone else.
