A couple of quick email follow ups from my last post:
From Vexed (as I suspected):
For the record, their pointing out my post on the nuclear family as supporting evidence is incorrect. The same strengths apply to children in gay marriages. It is the union that counts, not the gender.
From another reader:
... I would have liked to see you also address the writers spurious references to studies regarding drug use and STDs. It seems this writer would have you believe that these things only exist in the LGBT community? (not really surprising considering they equated them with pedophiles and thieves).The writer is either incapable or unwilling to take this data at anything
but face value. Perhaps the drug use is so commonplace in these studies
because the LGBT community has been discriminated against and they see drug
use as an escape from this. The same goes for the STD stats, where
dangerous, clandestine sexual acts are a necessity for these individuals who
have been forced to live a double life.
I can and will do that, but my previous post was already pretty long and there was so much to address. But yes, the science cited is selective and I will address that in the next day or so.
