Google: What's Good for Kids, by Lisa Belkin, New York Times

This article exposes the myths that same sex couples are not as good heterosexual couples at parenting. In fact, it shows some evidence why same sex couples often do BETTER...

Yes, first the Christian right condemns gays for having too many sex partners. Then they say, well we don't want you to get married. Bottom line: They'd rather EXTERMINATE gays than give us rights. The truth of the matter is that they want gays to not be gay. We have to "pretend" to be striaght. At least this is something the Catholic church gets right. They say sexual orientation is not a choice, but is innate and immutable. They say gays should be celibate. At least that is humane!

I am definitely not the type to buy into stereotypes. However, I do know the stereotype of gay people is promiscuity. So why the F*CK would you not encourage monogamy among that group of people? I don't understand it.

Anyone who thinks that homosexuality can 100% be rid of in the entire world one day is living in a coo coo clock.

It'll never happen....next best thing.... PROMOTE MONOGAMOUS relationships. one person one partner....no cheating....less STDS worldwide.

People are too stubborn

Prop 8 is incredible for the gay population to gain the right to marry. Win or Lose, the subject actually being discussed now is a victory. It's going to take time but it will happen.

To me, it's ridiculous that people even argue over this. I said it before, I can care less about the gay/straight thing, the big picture is that prides need to be swallowed and monogamous relationships should be encouraged.

You know it's very ironic that Prop 8 in California might actually be the route by which gay marriage gains its ultimate prize- nationalized gay marriage. In CA we have two classes of gay couples, those that ARE married and those that CANNOT marry. This is a violation of the 14th Amendment. The people that promoted Prop 8 didn't see it coming. All important civil rights issues have been decided by courts, and gay marriage will be no different. We didn't decide school integration by vote!

lisztnut... 100% agree

"You cannot put up civil rights to a vote, otherwise the minority loses"

that is absolute common sense. I actually am stunned that the gay marriage vote in both maine and california is only losing by a small margin.

This only tells us that this is going to be passed in the future. It's going to happen. All this fuss is just going to end up being a few more pages in future student's History books.

crazy.
