Gay parents influence their child's orientation

Image
Image via Wikipedia A study due out next month has found that children raised by homosexual parents are far more likely to identify as homosexual themselves. Walter Schumm, a family studies professor at Kansas State University , told  AOL News  that he questioned the conviction - ironclad in both popular culture and the academic world - that parents could not influence their children's sexual orientation , while being able to influence so many other aspects of their lives. "I just want to know the truth about something," he said. In the  abstract  of the study, Schumm concluded that research conducted by pro-family leader Paul Cameron in 2006, although widely lambasted by media and professionals, accurately concluded that homosexuals are more likely to raise homosexual children. The study, an analysis of previous research, attempted to skew the results in favor of popular opinion, but still found Cameron's conclusion solid. "Despite numerous attempts to bias...

Image via Wikipedia Homosexual marriage should not be permitted by law . We as a nation must affirm and protect children’s rights and the primacy of those rights over adults’ aspirations.  Family structures have altered significantly, becoming more diverse and less institutionalized, but nonetheless that in the best interests of children homosexual marriage should remain prohibited. It is not possible to think about marriage separately from filiation : the two questions are closely connected, in that marriage is organized around the child .  Marriage is not merely the contractual recognition of the love between a couple;  it is a framework that imposes rights and duties, and that is designed to provide for the care and harmonious development of the child.  Foreign examples demonstrate this: countries that have made marriage available to same-sex couples have all, simultaneously or subsequently, authorized adoption by those couples and developed systems fo...

The Bible condemns homosexuality as a sin.

Image
Image via Wikipedia There are those who like to say that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality .  Various verses are cited (out of context) and the verses that people use to show that homosexuality is wrong are explained away.  The world wants to change God 's words and meanings into something more suitable to its sinful desires.  Nevertheless, the truth stands:  The Bible condemns homosexuality as a sin . Let's look at what it says.

Their bloodguiltness is upon them"  1 Cor. 6:9-10 , "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,  10 nor thieves, nor t...
