All of the ways in which 'other taxpayers' are being forced to 'subsidize' gay marriage are, by definition, the same ways in which gays are obliged to subsidize hetero marriages.
Right. Because it aids in the effort required to raise children. Hetero couples can procreate, homo couples can't.
When you can show me the heterosexual couple that was denied a marriage license for their inability or unwillingness to procreate, you might have a point. You can't and so you don't.
This argument is getting tired. The usual routine of using the anecdotal to try to make a larger point.
Heteros who don't but can
won't. But the possibility still exists thereby warranting the protection of tax breaks, etc.
Those who
can't still provide the ideal circumstance of mother/father in the event of the choice for adoption. Both cases are moot for homos.
You're right...your
failed argument is getting tired. Procreation is not a requirement for civil marriage. No one is denied one for an unwillingness or inability to procreate. No one. Further destroying your argument is the fact that some couples in some states are required to prove they
cannot procreate before they can civilly marry.
The final nail in your failed argument is the fact that children don't need a mother and a father, they need parents.
One University of Virginia and George Washington University
same-sex adoption study came to the same conclusions.
This study researched preschool-aged children who had been adopted as babies in heterosexual adoptions and same-sex adoptions, including both lesbian and gay adoptive parents. It went beyond earlier studies by researching outside evaluations of teachers and caregivers, as well as reports by the parents.
As with other studies, this study found that the children from same-sex adoptions were as well-adjusted as those from heterosexual adoptions.
This study also researched gender identification of the children to examine how children raised with same-sex parents identified with gender-related behavior. Overall, children start exhibiting gender behavior during the preschool years, with girls wanting to play with toys like dolls, and boys wanting toys like trucks and cars. This study found that all the children showed similar gender behavior as their same-aged peers, whether they were raised by same-sex parents or by heterosexual parents.
The study did find that, as with any family, the outcomes of the children hinged on: parenting abilities overall; the stresses in the family; and the satisfaction of the parents' relationship. And, the study found that heterosexual and same-sex adoptive parents exhibited these success factors equally.
