Children Without Mothers Are at Special Risk - Letter - NYTimes.com
Now....say we experiment with purposefully removing the mother...thinking that equal as well.
Stressful unless....your two dads in some gay relationship take over and then....the female not in your life doesn;t matter....according to some.
You are referencing single parents house holds. Why don't you try a comparison of two parent households both homosexual and heterosexual?
Just to be precise here...in the utter destruction of CC's now clearly false arguments.
Father Absence Research | Life Coaches for Kids®
Every study except those chosen by pro-gay agenda driven people in here who want to purposefully remove the father......call it normal....and then claim there is no effect on children raised without a male in the home.
See what a false and fake argument those that argue on the pro-gay side are engaged in? From alcohol to drug use to mental illness, to poor educational performances.....CC....your argument...Jallman's.....every other pro-gay argument being thrown up in here is dead wrong. Sorry.
I am referencing the removal of either the male or female role model on children in the household. Many single parents do wonderful jobs of raising their children, many well rounded children come from single parent households...correct?
It's the absence of a male or a female in the home that is having it's effects..
and you clearly believe two moms can father and two dads can mother.
They can't and you know it. Each of us has a memory or lesson entrenched in their moral compass, each of us has a value or code they grew up with, it was provided by their mother or father. Think back and you'll realize I'm right, that either your mother or father was unreplaceable in your life. If it was your mother, a man could NEVER replace that.

Not odd at all, nonsense needs to be repeated, that's why they call it nonsense.
Your study is single parent families which has no bearing on the ability of gay couples to raise children. Apples and oranges. Find a study that shows that gay couples are less able to raise kids well and I will be interested, till then this is nothing.
"There are virtually no studies that make a direct comparison with same-sex parents," he said, noting census data show one in four same-sex couples are raising a child under the age of 18.
For the most part, the organizations are relying on a relatively small but conclusive body of research -- approximately 67 studies -- looking at children of gay parents and compiled by the American Psychological Association. In study after study, children in same-sex parent families turned out the same, for better or for worse, as children in heterosexual families.
More research needed
The problem with these studies, Dr. Gates says, is that most of the children are from "intentional" same-sex parent families, where the parents tend to be better educated, more affluent and more open about their sexual orientation, and who deliberately conceive or adopt children with the intention of raising them in a same-sex parent family.
"My research suggests that's not the typical gay parent household," Dr. Gates said.
In fact, only 6 percent of same-sex parents have an adopted child, and a sizable number appear to be living in some kind of step-family arrangement, in which parents "come out later and have children from an earlier heterosexual marriage or relationship," he said.
The further problem is that kids do not usually end up in gay households unless their family is already broken. At that point in time, a stable two parent home is the top priority, and married gay couples can provide that.
With all due respect to Cheney and her partner," Dr. James Dobson of the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, wrote in Time magazine in December, "the majority of more than 30 years of social-science evidence indicates that children do best on every measure of well-being when raised by their married mother and father."
Some liberals chimed in too, notably Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Leonard Pitts, who cited "a growing body of research that tells us the child raised without his or her biological father is significantly more likely to live in poverty, do poorly in school, drop out altogether, become a teen parent, exhibit behavioral problems, smoke, drink, use drugs or wind up in jail."

What do the libs say?
Your disingenuous nonsense doesn't go unnoticed.
And I don't think ANYONE will argue against the following:
Turned out the same for better or for worse, I take this to mean the absence of one gender had its effects.
As well,
Many of these children's personalities have been shaped already, seeing here a "sizable" number appear to live in relationships which parents came out AFTER the child was born...and thus ending the marriage. As a heterosexual...we call this cheating. Like Tiger Woods...his liasons with all of these women is called infidelity. Should a man or woman pronounce he or she is gay and wants to leave the marriage......its permitted. It's not considered cheating by many, any vows until death do you part are overridden by the individual's lack of honesty and not being able to come to terms with the gayness, thus...got married...had children...and only now wants another relationship with a different and in this case 'gay' person.
You ain't foolin no one Redress. And you're dead wrong.
What happens to kids raised by gay parents?
The problem with the research cited by both Dr. Dobson and Mr. Pitts is that it compares children of heterosexual couples only with those of single parents and not with children of same-sex parent families, said Gary Gates, a senior research fellow at the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law and an expert on census data involving gay and lesbian households.
Piling on colossal error upon massive mistake isn't helping your argument, I've just given stacks of data for families without a male in the home, care to address that?
From my previous link:
What do the libs say?
All of you are dead wrong, obviously uneducated on this issue. Perhaps another where you're more informed and can keep up with my plethora of data.

What's with this stuff about child rearing? It has absolutely no relevance to the issue of same sex marriage.
It's only THE reason the state has any business poking it's nose in your relationships in the first place.
Frankly I don't understand why childless gays are lining up to surrender their right to privacy to Big-Bro when there is no reason for the state to do so.
I mean they say it's about rights, but what they're doing is surrendering rights. It makes no sense.
There are quite a few monetary benefits that are denied to unmarried couples.
Why do straights deserve extra rights and benefits?
They generally raise children.

So what? That's no reason to give them my tax dollars.
