GAY TRUTH

LISBON, Portugal, March 21, 2014  – A bill that proposed to legalize same-sex adoption was rejected Friday in Portugal’s Parliament by a narrow majority. The bill would have allowed one member of a same-sex partnership to adopt the child of the other. In 2012, the government promised a “ co-parenting ” bill saying that “when two people of the same sex are married or cohabiting and one of them has parental responsibility for a minor, by blood or adoption, the spouse may adopt the minor.” The bill was defeated by a center-right coalition in a vote of 112-107 with four abstentions. The same bill was passed at first reading in May 2013, but heavily opposed by the Church. At the same time a bill proposing full joint adoption was defeated in a 104-77 vote. At the moment, homosexual individuals can adopt children in Portugal, but the same-sex “marriage” bill specifically prohibits joint same-sex adoption. At the same time, the Portuguese Constitutional Court  ruled on Mar

Are children reared by two individuals of the same gender as well adjusted as children reared in families with a mother and a father? Until recently the unequivocal answer to this question was “no.” Within the last decade, however, professional health organizations, 1  academics, social policymakers and the media have begun asserting that prohibitions on parenting by same-sex couples should be lifted. In making such far-reaching, generation-changing assertions, any responsible advocate would rely upon supporting evidence that is comprehensive and conclusive. Not only is this not the situation, but also there is sound evidence that children exposed to the homosexual lifestyle may be at increased risk for emotional, mental, and even physical harm. Biology matters Over thirty years of research confirms that children fare best when reared by their two biological parents in a loving low conflict marriage. Children navigate developmental stages more easily, are more solid in their ge

After doing the panel discussion on al-Jazeera last night, and coming across countless more articles about same-sex parenting today, I'm a little tired of being diplomatic. Maybe there are moments when a bit of bluntness is appropriate. In a best case scenario, there is a widow who comes out of the closet after her husband dies, and then gets help from a lesbian lover while raising her children. She makes sure not to trample on their father's memory, and doesn't force them to call her new lover "Mom." In that one rare, specific, unintentional case, yes, same-sex parenting is okay. Every other scenario involving a same-sex couple with exclusive custody of small children is adult misconduct at best or a crime against humanity at worst. If it happened because of divorce, then the gay parent and a former heterosexual lover failed to resolve their differences and didn't stay together for the children. The gay parent, who's now a single parent because the op

You're trusting these folks to say whether kids should have moms and dads? I've been getting some of the updates from New Mexico about the SOC (same-old-crap) peddled by purveyors of same-sex parenting . It goes like this: A big, powerful, well-funded association with a fancy, imposing name issues a declaration on their "endorsement of same-sex parenting." http://www.lifesitenews.com/ news/new-mexico-groups- promote-same-sex-marriage-as- a-benefit-to-kids-ignoring-t? utm_source=LifeSiteNews.com+ Daily+Newsletter&utm_campaign= 6269d2388a-LifeSiteNews_com_ US_Headlines_06_19_2013&utm_ medium=email&utm_term=0_ 0caba610ac-6269d2388a- 397522465 Remember that the gay marriage cases before the Supreme Court last March saw amicus briefs submitted by athletes, corporations, and random Republicans who endorsed this as if they had any relevance in deciding something so heavy: Do children have a right to a mom and dad? Can we just take away their mom or dad

May 14, 2013 ( FRC.org ) - The Left has a funny way of celebrating Mother's Day. First, the President issues a  bizarre tweet  reminding moms that his gift is free birth control -- presumably so they never have to become mothers again. Then, of course, there was Secretary Arne Duncan 's announcement that the Department of Education would stop acknowledging moms' existence altogether. Starting in 2014, the DOE is replacing "mother" and "father" with  "Parent 1" and "Parent 2"  on its student aid forms in an effort to be more politically correct (and anatomically incorrect). Now, some in Congress want to get in on the act with  a bill  that would intentionally deprive children of a mother. Under this legislation, the government would punish any adoption agency that gives priority to married, heterosexual couples. The bill, co-sponsored by Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), would cut off the federal fund
