Lesbian Couples are the best parents study? Reaaly?

Image
Lesbian Family (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Steve Trask from the Mail Online outlined an AIFS study ( Australian Institute of Family Studies isees CFCA Paper No. 18 December 2013) that claims lesbian parents make the best parents.  A close examination of the references at the conclusion of the article appear to show an ideological favor toward gay parenting. Pro-gay scholars seek evidence of non-harm, of children. The AIFS author states it  is not possible to sustain a claim frequently made, that there are no differences between children raised in same-sex and heterosexual parented families  (Amato, 2012; Biblarz & Savci, 2010; Biblarz & Stacey , 2010; Eggebeen, 2012; Goldberg , 2010; Marks, 2012; Regnerus, 2012; Stacey & Biblarz, 2001). All of these studies atate there are difference.  Biblarz and Stacey argue it is the anti-gay culture to blame for difference.  " There is suggestive evidence and good reason to believe that contemporary children and y

British gvmt to fund sperm bank for lesbians and single women

English: The Daily Mail clock, just off Kensington High Street (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) British taxpayers will soon be on the hook for a sperm bank that will allow lesbian and single mothers to create children without the involvement of a father. As  reported  by  The Daily Mail , for approximately $500 women will be able to find anonymous sperm donors . The database will allow searches for a variety of characteristics, including ethnicity, weight, religion, and hobbies. The sperm bank is being funded by over $120,000 in taxpayer dollars, in addition to approximately $200,000 given to the National Gamete Donation Trust (NGDT). While critics such as Rochester ’s former Anglican bishop , Michael Nazir-Ali , say the bank puts the welfare of the child second to preferences of parents, NGDT's chief executive said that the bank is responding to demand from "same-sex couples and single women." Laura Witjens also said that "it’s become more socially acceptable

Lesbian acceptance and the truth of very poor health

Singer Britney Spears was one of the best selling female performers of the 2000s. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Back in the ealy-1990s, I will never forget the huge impact on the gay world caused by Madonna and her bi-sexual explorations. Madonna christened her new-found attraction to women in the monumental book “Sex” and in the video for “ Justify My Love .” Gay magazines were covered with images of Madonna and her “gal-pal” lesbian comedian Sandra Bernhard . They were often photographed holding hands, caressing each other in public, or kissing.  The main-stream media took a rather sanitized look at these goings-on; and relegated them to just another Madonna publicity stunt. Gay culture took it more seriously: as a first serious push into American popular culture .  Subsequently, Madonna’s album “Erotica” flopped as did her semi-pornographic film “Body of Evidence.” Madonna regrouped, dropped much of the bisexual persona, and reinvented herself again as a wife, mother, pol

Missouri priest under fire for denying Communion to lesbian couple

Image
CHILLICOTHE, MO, – A Missouri priest ordained last May is being raked over the media coals for upholding Catholic Church teaching on homosexuality after he denied Communion to a woman that he discovered has been in a long-term lesbian relationship. Father Benjamin Kneib of Saint Columban Catholic Church in Chillicothe found out that two women in his parish, Carol Parker and Josephine Martin, were lesbians and had cohabited for nearly twenty years when he saw the obituary notice for Parker’s mother. The obituary said she was survived by a son, a daughter and her “daughter’s partner.” Fr. Kneib (r) with Bishop Robert Finn. Credit: St. Columban Catholic Church Parker told a local TV station that Father Kneib had called her the day before the funeral to tell her he could not offer her Communion.“ He had called me the day of the rosary and said he wouldn’t be able to give us communion because of our same-sex relationship,” Parker told  Fox4KC .  Parker said that as a resu

Self-reporting survey of gays claims their kids are identical to heterosexuals

This is an article that appears in the SMH and AGE. You check the studies that are being quoted by the author Deb Dempsey and you note straight away that all these studies are "self reporting" surveys where the participants are not compared, to general non- homosexual data, nor is the collection of data being done by a third party. They do acknowledge this issue in a highlighted box, quoting several researchers who have questioned this method but then, the authors moves on and simply ignores it.  The journalist believes what she is fed.  So there is no surprise here in this false report. You look closer again at the background, books, articles, symposiums attended, presentations of the author of the AIFS, and you see the problem of lack of neutrality on this topic.  the AIFS statement is skewed. ..................................................................................................... Children raised by same-sex parents fare just as well in their education

Does the Bible mention Lesbians?

Image
The Destruction Of Sodom And Gomorrah, a painting by John Martin (painter), died 1854, thus 100 years. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Some are under the assumption that, while the Bible condemns gay sex between men , it nowhere condemns being a lesbian/ lesbianism .  Leviticus 18:22   and  20:13   mention men having sex with other men, but say nothing of women having sex with other women. In the Sodom and Gomorrah account in Genesis 19 , the men of the cities wanted to gang rape other men. First Corinthians 6:9   mentions effeminate men, very likely referring to homosexuals, but does not mention lesbians. So, does the Bible in fact condemn male homosexuality , but not lesbianism? Romans 1:26-27   puts this invalid assumption to rest: “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones . In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed in

Why Homosexuality and Homosexual Marriage is wrong

Image
The Massachusetts Supreme Court has not yet declared that "day" shall now be construed to include that which was formerly known as "night," but it might as well. By declaring that homosexual couples are denied their constitutional rights by being forbidden to " marry ," it is treading on the same ground. Do you want to know whose constitutional rights are being violated? Everybody's. Because no constitution in the United States has ever granted the courts the right to make vast, sweeping changes in the law to reform society. Regardless of their opinion of homosexual "marriage," every American who believes in democracy should be outraged that any court should take it upon itself to dictate such a social innovation without recourse to democratic process . And we all know the course this thing will follow. Anyone who opposes this edict will be branded a bigot; any schoolchild who questions the legitimacy of homosexual marriage will be expell
