US Supreme Court to Meet This Week To Decide To Take Up Gay Marriage Debate/Case

[Silhouette]

No......you are ******* creepy as you twist your *** hating ideals as somehow.......for the children
No study of children of homosexual couples supports you

That's not surprising at all. Since the APA was overtaken by LGBT activists and its ruling scientific principle dropped back in the 1980s without even an up or down vote from the board, and "disappeared" from the organization's archives, getting a study from them showing gay marriage is harmful to children would be like getting a study from the KKK that "bigotry is bad"...

Now the APA practices "CQR" which is an "audited group-think" format that discards data in preference to what the APA's leadership "feels right", in essence...not kidding. Ready more here: Boy Drugged By Lesbian Parents To Be A Girl US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

The Prince's Trust has this to say about the topic though.. (the old fashioned way, they use data....Is that the part that creeps you out?)

The Prince’s Trust youth index, the largest survey of its kind, found that young people without a positive figure of the same gender are 67 per cent more likely to be unemployed than their counterparts.

Young men with no male role models in their lives and women without a mother figure struggle to keep their lives on track, a hard-hitting report warns today. The Prince’s Trust youth index, the largest survey of its kind, found that....67 per cent more likely to be unemployed than their counterparts. They are also significantly more likely to stay unemployed for longer than their peers, the report suggests....It found that young men with no male role model are 50 per cent more likely to abuse drugs and young females in the corresponding position are significantly more likely to drink to excess..

Young men with no male role model to look up to were twice as likely to turn or consider turning to crime as a result of being unemployed...The report, which was based on interviews with 2,170 16 to 25-year-olds...These young men are also three times more likely to feel down or depressed all of the time and significantly more likely to admit that they cannot remember the last time they felt proud...They are also significantly less likely to feel happy and confident than those with male role models, according to the figures....The Prince’s Trust report, which was carried out by YouGov, suggests young people without male role models are more than twice as likely to lack a sense of belonging.

With no father to look to as he grew up, Arfan Naseer fell into a life of drugs and gangs...He even spent time in prison after becoming involved with the wrong crowd, impressed by their expensive cars and gangster lifestyle...He believes that if he had had a father or male role model to look up to, he would have seen the error of his ways at a much earlier age.

What is your point that gay marriage benefits children. I welcome your rebuttal to the reams of evidence that show children who grow up without their gender represented as a role model are statistically more likely to fail at life than their counterparts. Have at it.

Children do this in monosexual (single) parent homes. Are you advocating single parents and their tens of millions of children "in immediate legal harm" be granted all the rights and benefits of marriage? And if not, what's your beef with either the single parent or their children?

A child left in the wild to die who was adopted by wolves also benefits by that home. It's all relative. What's important is which situation is BEST for children and not which situation is merely adequate and the lesser of two evils.. That's what states want to incentivize: the best known structure of marriage for kids. And that is, hands down, statistically, man/woman.

So you are saying then that every single parent deserves the right to marriage benefits? Divorce also serves the interest of kids in that the state, reluctantly, grants it if the environment becomes too hostile for them to thrive in. The state cannot guarantee perfection in the man/woman structure, but it is the best that the state has to offer children. The state has to rely on statistics in how kids are raised to arrive at a conclusion of "who may marry". Each state decides that for itself.

You even quote parts that disagree with you, it's funny. According to the article, it is not necessarily a lack of role models that is at fault, but a lack of positive role models. And, as with the example of Arfan Naseer, it need not be a parent. So, if a homosexual couple also has an opposite gender role model in their child's life, would you be accepting of their marriage?

Also, just how reluctant do you really think the state is in granting divorce? Can you give us your evidence that a)The main, or even only, reason the state grants marriage is to provide the best environment for raising children b)The children of homosexual couples suffer significant harm in comparison to heterosexual couples (and no, your Prince's Trust link does not work, as it says nothing at all about homosexual parents) c)The state only grants divorces 'reluctantly' and only if the environment is too hostile for those children to thrive in?

You throw around a whole lot of declarative statements and back them up with little or no actual evidence, yet seem to think they are more than just your opinions.

My point is just what I said. There are many different aspects to this discussion, yet no matter what particulars are being discussed, you go back to the same repetitive arguments.

 

[Silhouette]

Don't kid yourself, while a positive role model is obviously better than a negative one, not needing a study to "prove", the study is about THE ROLE MODEL OF THE SAME GENDER THE PERSON FINDS THEMSELF IN. Please note that. Though your strawman does serve the purpose of diversion, your tiresome trick has run its course.

No, that is not what the study is about. The study is about overall happiness in young people based on a number of different factors. Same gender positive role models is actually a very small portion of the survey. Have you actually looked at your links? I've looked through 3 different Prince's Trust Youth Index's at this point. I find it strange that the most recent have nothing to say about same gender role models if it is such an important factor as you make it out to be.

I also have looked at the Index in your link and, despite the quotes you give, it actually continues to mention positive role models rather than simply having a role model (see the chart on page 24 of your 2011 Index link).

So, again, and particularly without knowing the particulars of the survey respondents, the Youth Index does not say what you seem to think it does. At best it provides a very small amount of evidence for your argument, it certainly is not the 'smoking gun' type of evidence you continue to make it out to be.

The Prince Study doesn't say a thing about same sex parents. Numerous studies do....and the explicitly contradict your assumptions:

Children of same-sex parents have above average health and wellbeing, research by the University of Melbourne shows.

The research was based on data from the Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Families, which involved input from 315 same-sex parents and a total of 500 children. Of these participating families, 80 percent had female parents while 18 percent had male parents.

"It appears that same-sex parent families get along well and this has a positive impact on health," said Dr Simon Crouch from the Jack Brockhoff Child Health and Wellbeing Program, Centre for Health Equity at the University of Melbourne.

Children of same sex parents healthier Study

And again....

Most research studies show that children with two moms or two dads fare just as well as children with heterosexual parents. In fact, one comprehensive study of children raised by lesbian mothers or gay fathers concluded that children raised by same-sex parents did not differ from other children in terms of emotional functioning, sexual orientation, stigmatization, gender role behavior, behavioral adjustment, gender identity, learning and grade point averages. Where research differences have been found, they have sometimes favored same-sex parents. For example, adolescents with same-sex parents reported feeling more connected at school. Another study reported that children in gay and lesbian households are more likely to talk about emotionally difficult topics, and they are often more resilient, compassionate and tolerant.

Same-sex Parents and Their Children

And again....

"The vast consensus of all the studies shows that children of same-sex parents do as well as children whose parents are heterosexual in every way," she tells WebMD. "In some ways children of same-sex parents actually may have advantages over other family structures.....

...."Some studies showed that single heterosexual parents' children have more difficulties than children who have parents of the same sex," Perrin says. "They did better in discipline, self-esteem, and had less psychosocial difficulties at home and at school."

Kids Of Same-Sex Parents Do Fine - CBS News

And again....

One area the researchers found no differences in was the mental health of children or their quality of relationship with parents. Children brought up by lesbians and gay men are well-adjusted, have good levels of self-esteem and are as likely to have high educational attainments as children raised in more traditional heterosexual families.

“Levels of anxiety, depression, self-esteem and other measures of social and psychological behaviors were generally similar,” Biblarz said. “While all children probably get teased for one thing or another, children with gay parents may experience a higher degree of teasing and ridicule. It is impressive then that their psychological well-being and social adjustment does not significantly differ, on average, from that of children in comparable heterosexual-parent families. Exploring how lesbian and gay parent families help children cope with stigma could prove helpful to all kinds of families.”

Sociology Study examines gender roles of children with gay parents USC News

And again....

Psychological adjustment of children raised lesbian and gay families is really no different than children in straight families. All the studies, no matter how people did the research found the same thing, which is that kids are not disadvantaged by being raised in lesbian and gay parent families. There might even be particular areas where they have strengths, it just depends on how you look at the research.

Interview with Lesbian and Gay Parenting Expert Dr. Abbie Goldberg

Numerous studies have directly addressed the mental, emotional and psychological health of children in same sex households. The consensus of these studies is that the children are health.

And you ignore every single one of them. In favor of a study that doesn't even mention same sex couples, nor measure anything about them.

Don't expect the USSC to similarly ignore the evidence that you must to cling to your beliefs.

 

[Silhouette]

OK, I won't ignore them. Let's take a closer look at them compared to the Prince's Trust Study. All of your studies are done with children still in the LGBT homes, under the influence of the adults there still. Your studies have a max of 500 children (combined from 15 separate studies, averaging 33 children per "study").

The Prince's trust study in contrast relies on grown children not in the home, around age 25 whose lives and troubles have been studied emperically; they are free of influence the day before of adults leaning in their ear with emphasis saying "be sure to tell the lady tomorrow that we are really happy...or they might have to take you away!" Interesting to note that most British studies lean heavily in favor of gay issues. The Prince's trust study was of over 2,000 individuals, not 33. And it wasn't even about gay anything. It was simply about people of a given gender growing up without a parental role model of that same gender...the detrimental outfall in their own adult lives as a result.

From your first link: Children of same sex parents healthier Study

Children of same-sex parents have above average health and wellbeing, research by the University of Melbourne shows.
The research was based on data from the Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Families, which involved input from 315 same-sex parents and a total of 500 children. Of these participating families, 80 percent had female parents while 18 percent had male parents

So 315 same-sex parents and their captives (children still in the home under the influence of the adult's authority there) self-reported that "our kids are just great!" This self-reportage is in direct conflict with the Prince's Trust survey of grown children without both parents, the largest survey of its kind.


From your second link: Same-sex Parents and Their Children (which is from a Gay-serving website, written on funds from the APA, a gay-oriented formerly scientific institution that instead now relies upon what's called "CQR" or audited group-think, where "researchers" are encouraged to discard data in favor of what their peers pressure them to say. Not kidding. Read about it here: Boy Drugged By Lesbian Parents To Be A Girl US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum In any event, here's what your link provides "casually" woven into the heavily biased dialogue:

Where research differences have been found, they have sometimes favored same-sex parents

(That would not include the Prince's Trust study below, the largest survey of its kind of the actual people (grown children) from homes without both genders as parents)

From your third link: Kids Of Same-Sex Parents Do Fine - CBS News

Researchers looked at information gleaned from 15 studies on more than 500 children....Evidence-based studies are important in helping pediatricians in their practices and creating policy for the future..

On more than 500 children? The Prince's Trust survey was based on interviews with 2,170 16 to 25-year-olds That means that they were out of the home, out of the influence of their parents, where that pressure wasn't part of the "unreported potential error" for the "15 studies of 500 children under the influence of those homes still". And the Prince's Trust survey was 4 x larger than all those 15 studies put together. I note with irony that your third link says how important evidence-based studies are, when the APA (the largest source of funding for all LGBT American "studies") practices "CQR" which from the link of the drugged by by lesbians describes as follows:

That, folks, is how cults operate. This cult is funding most of the studies you are citing.

From your fourth link: Interview with Lesbian and Gay Parenting Expert Dr. Abbie Goldberg

Dr Abbie Goldberg is the author of Lesbian and Gay Parents and Their Children: Research on the Family Life Cycle published by The American Psychological Association. What almost all of the studies have found is that same-sex parents do just as good a job as opposite sex parents

Yes..."almost all" "the studies have found"... CQR would demand consensus within the APA over data. The one exception to "almost all" would be the Prince's Trust survey of grown children reporting without fear of repurcussions, what was ACTUALLY going on in their heads. I tend to give a survey like that more weight becuase it would be freer from undue influence and not funded by a "scientific outfit" that favors discarding data in preference to "what feels right to the group...of pro-LGBT researchers"...

You are at best being disingenuous about the Youth Index Silhouette, if you are not simply lying. It was not about children growing up without same-gender role models. That was merely one aspect of the overall survey, which is about general happiness in the given age group. In fact, the actual Index is pretty vague about whether the respondents are missing a same gender role model entirely or merely missing a positive one. I have look at the Index you keep linking, have you?

Also, you post quotes as though they are coming from your link when they are not. It's dishonest to post a link to the Youth Index and then provide quotes from an article about that document rather than the document itself.

 

[Syriusly]

When all Cases involving marriage were Opined upon, the word marriage was universally-understood to mean only man/woman.

So anyone citing precedent there for "rights" has to do so under that context.

In every court case that has ruled in favor of marriage equality for same gender couples, the court has referred to previous marriages cases as precedents that marriage is a right. None of them said 'only applies to man/woman'

 

[Syriusly]

Gays and lesbians never have kids. It's biologically impossible.

You are delusional

Justice Kennedy:
There is an immediate legal injury and that's the voice of these children," he said. "There's some 40,000 children in California, according to the Red Brief, that live with same-sex parents, and they want their parents to have full recognition and full status. The voice of those children is important in this case, don't you think?"

The Prince's Study doesn't mention homosexuals at all. Nor does it address two parent households with two persons of the same gender.

And the Supreme Court will not be looking at the study at all.

Children do this in monosexual (single) parent homes. Are you advocating single parents and their tens of millions of children "in immediate legal harm" be granted all the rights and benefits of marriage?.

Still waiting for you to explain what those rights and benefits would be?

Aside from your nonsensical use of the term 'monosexual'- what benefits would that be:
If the single parent is sick- can he visit himself in the hospital?
When he dies- will he inherit his own estate tax free?
And if he dies- does he get his own social security survivor's benefits?

What benefits Silhouette- what benefits from marriage is a single parent not getting?

Super-handy if you're trying to control the conclusions for purposes of manipulating public perception for say...oh...A CULT..

The "CQR" method is the ANTITHESIS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND HOW IT IS DONE.

1. Unbiased, clean data collecting

2. Focused inquisition

3. Large samples, the largest possible when surveying...ALWAYS!

4. Reliance on data and NEVER assumptions.!!!

Oh, and don't forget, when you're all done collecting your tiny samples that you've focused a bias on from the get-go, using open-ended assumptions to arrive at "solid conclusions the public can rely on"...don't forget to stop by Der Fuhrer's Office at the APA to make sure your findings are audited properly by top command...or you'll never do research again..or receive funding..
