Aww man, all of you so fucking concerned about children needing both a mom and a dad. It's so touching. I bet you're all up in arms about the hundred thousand of orphans in the world, or monoparental families, or people being raised by grandparents/aunt&uncle/ etc. According to your logic, it's really friggin' terrible, right, and you sure are loudly campaigning for the good of THESE child, right? After all, gay families have a parent and an extra mom or dad. So it's actually better then these!

I love how these political fundies claim want to keep government out of the peoples lives.

Unless of course you happen to be gay.

Or an immigrant.

Or you need an abortion.

In which case it suddenly becomes "more is better".

Love how Franken made Minnery look like what he is: a lying bigot.

Franken is a turd. A failed funnyman. He discovered the soft life of a congressman from a state that allows any dickhead to become a politician.

He only represents big money.

@Glinkaism1 What you need to do is mind your own business. You don't even know what "family" means.

"I would think the study means a nuclear family is one headed by a husband and wife."

"It doesn't."

Lol. Owned. Owned completely and utterly.

@dballing I can't post a link but you could google it if you wanted.

@dballing A study is a study. It doesn't have to conform to the law, it's simply an observation or analysis of a situation, unlike the IRS which has to go with the terms the law defines. But be all of that as it may, the head author of the study is a woman named Debra L. Blackwell, who confirmed that Franken was correct and that same sex couples were not excluded from either the study itself or the definition of "Nuclear Family" as defined in the study.

@tomthecat94 And none for Gretchen err Mr Minnery, bye. XD

[lolraptourz]

@funk7000 the self-same source in question doesn't define "nuclear family" in that way, so your point is moot.

regardless of common definitions, whether by medical or scientific authorities or by the general public, the data within the study must be read in light of the definition used in the study. otherwise you're still misreading data (and for the sake of semantics), whether or not the authors of the study got the definition right.

Yahooveritas: Kindergarten Debate Club Champion! He learned a bad word and made his opponent cry! Careful everyone, someone treating mental disability as an insult to throw around is in the place! I am positively trembling in my underwear.

@CelebrenIthil You are a retard!
