Research shows children living with their married biological parents are less likely to abuse alcohol and drugs more likely to achieve college degrees get better jobs and have happy marriages. Why ignore facts?The liberal view has no right or wrong only tolerance or intolerance diversity or narrow minded.They believe traditional morality and virtue are unfair in parenting one's own children. Liberals believe in no fault freedom only achieved by eliminating the family or rendering meaningless.

@BlackRepublican2010 Please reply to this with a link this 'study' you're referring too, &Assuming that you're right- Which I don't for a second think- Is there no place in the world for people without; college degrees, better jobs &happy marriages? I think a world without diversity would be a pretty boring place, don't you agree?

@BlackRepublican2010 -- Actually you're wrong. Research shows that children living with LOVING parents, whether gay straight or married or not are less likely to abuse drugs. Children of Christian parents are TWICE as likely to have emotional problems that require therapy to get over. Research has also found that the gay children of homophobic Christian parents are 100 times more likely to commit suicide.

It's about time to get rid of this destructive force: Christianity and face REALITY!

@BlackRepublican2010 I'm a psychologist in training (PhD student). Contrary to your biological parents theory, parenting done by gay and lesbian couples (whether they're married or not) have been shown to be as capable as heterosexual couples in raising physically and psychological healthy children. Moreover, there have been no credible empirical studies refuting this claim. So, to your point, untraditional parenting can in fact be as successful as traditional parenting.

@cvalle00 Here are some resources for your edification (do a google search):

One last thing: you should fact-check yourself prior to flaunting your conservative rhetoric, for misrepresentation of facts is just as bad as ignoring them.
