When Tory pulls an all-nighter without actually having something to do... THIS is created! (written at 8AM after being awake for 19 hrs. and going on one cup of coffee)
Many of you have probably been here (Open Your Mind, Open Your Heart), and if you haven't, you should go. Right now I'm going to address the one essay entitled "Save the Children". Go look at it if you haven't already. I'll be here. Don't forget to look at the site it links to. It's going to make you either very mad or very puzzled. It made me mad.

In the essay itself, the various sections are addressed. The one section that was not, however, "Homosexuality: Bad For Children", had one "point" in it that has a major flaw. "A disproportionate number of children reared in homosexual households experienced gender dissatisfaction," etc. etc. One thing I'd like to know: What's the difference, in this case, between a homosexual household and, say, a single parent household? If a male child wass raised by only his mother, would that be different from a male child being raised by two homosexual women? I'm assuming gender dissatisfaction to be like what a cousin of mine whom I have never met is experiencing.

Another thing that was addressed that really made sense to me so I'll repeat it. The thing about higher suicide and depression rates for homosexuals. If you're shunned by society as having something terribly wrong with you, well yeah, you're going to be pretty upset. If everyone you knew was telling you that you were dirty, perverted, incorrect, would you be more likely to be depressed? Hell yeah! So that factor means nothing in FtCi's argument, except that by saying there's something wrong with a person, you will probably create something else wrong with them. Which actually works against their whole point of view, doesn't it? Silly people, shooting themselves in the feet... That's gotta hurt.
