MADRID, Spain (LifeSiteNews.com) – In light of a pending vote in the Spanish Senate on same-sex marriage HazteOir, together with the Spanish Forum for the Family and the Institute for Family Policy, has published and distributed an in-depth report on the effects that being raised by same-sex parents has on a child. The report, entitled “Report on Infantile Development in Same-Sex Couples” and available only in Spanish at this time, gathers and compares information from a vast number of studies carried out on the issue.
HazteOir, concerned by the apparent unquestioning acceptance in Spain of homosexual adoption, hopes that the wide array of information provided in the report and its extensive bibliography will prove to the Senate that homosexual parentage is harmful for children.
The president of HazteOir stated, in light of the findings of the report: “In no way can a couple of persons of the same sex be judged suitable for adopting a child. Considering the findings of this vast bibliography we are obliged to protect the minor and say that same-sex couples must not be allowed to adopt children.”
The report contests that the majority of the studies carried out which have concluded in favour of same-sex parenthood betray an egregious lack of scientific rigour. Most of the studies show a strong bias to one side.
To prove this the report analyzes the nature of the individuals who have been responsible for the various studies carried out thus far, demonstrating that the vast majority are either homosexuals themselves, or active in the gay-rights movement. Into this category fall all six of the six most prominent psychologists of the American Psychological Association, which, unsurprisingly is one of the organizations most strongly and vocally in favour of homosexual adoption.
In compiling and comparing the available data from these studies, as well as more objective studies, the team of first-class psychologists and sociologists which penned the HazteOir report have noted prominent and disturbing trends.
Among children raised by same-sex couples, the report notes a significant increase in low self-esteem, stress, confusion regarding sexual identity, an increase in mental illness, drug use, promiscuity, STD’s, and homosexual behaviour, amongst others. Furthermore, the report shows that statistics have brought to light the fact that same-sex relationships betray a much higher instance of separation and break-up than heterosexual relationships, increasing the likelihood that the child will experience familial instability.
The Spanish Association of Pediatrics firmly backs up the findings of the report, stating that a “family nucleus with two fathers or two mothers is clearly dangerous for the child”.

Homosexual adoption amounts to nothing more than legalized pedophilia.
For all who have not seen it, this is an awesome resource:

You and I know that but the Spanish Senate is set to vote on same sex marriage (which obviously would put a government sanction on opening doors to homosexually "married" people being parents), so obviously there is a strong lobby twisting heads to buy this program.

SURPRISE-SURPRISE-SURPRISE!!!!!!!
My beliefs exactly. Well said.
Thanks for the post and references.
And they had to do a "study" to figure this out?
LOL!
Just send me the money and I'll give you a "study" too.
It's amazing how often some great truth is suddenly discovered that has been known as common sense forever.
Now a study shows that children raised by homosexuals don't do well as adults. Well, DUH?
You're welcome!
Thanks again, Scrip!
I want to see response this gets from the Multi-cultis. Remember, it's a SPANISH study that wasn't conducted by English speaking heterosexual men. They probably don't know what the hell to do.
It's kind of along the same lines as what the godless ACLU is going through by supporting the heavily devout Catholic illegal immigrants.
Or what happened at Harvard when Jada Pinkett Smith said that all women should/could have careers and "husbands and families" as well. Then a bunch of gay students protested, saying her remarks were "heteronormative". I didn't think that it was possible to be a feminist and a homophobe, too.
IS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS FINALLY COLLAPSING ON ITSELF?
Hmmm...
Maybe I just think too much.
'Nuff said.
I don't disagree with that, but even if sexual abuse doesn't occur, living with "two mommies" or "two daddies" will screw a kid up for the rest of their lives.
Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
...
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
...
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
...
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand.
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

Qwinn
I read a recent landmark study which said that people who stick their fingers with sharp needles actually feel pain.
We need a "Captain Obvious" picture for this thread. Does anyone have one?
For those who do not know, former NY Times Omsbudsman Dan Okrent stated in an article that as unofficial policy the NY Times does not print anything critical of homosexuals or the gay rights movement.
They also do not acknowledge any kind of scientific studies or recognise them if they are not pro-gay.
They also will not quote or mention the names of any scientists who are critical of gays or have done studies that are critical.
This actually resulted in a really funny article one time, where the author wrote an article about various studies involving gays, including critical ones, but would not give their names, and the only acknowledgement that they even exist came from a gay rights advocate who attacked them, the "conservative" quotes had to come from a law professor.
It was hillarious to read how they had to dance around stating the obvious when the point of the article was the studies.
Long story short, it was the equivalent of writing with both hands behind your back and since it couldn't be done right with the NY Times policy, it should not have been done at all.
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
Good to see that some Spanish professional organizations get it, and are standing up for protecting children. And it seems they're using American studies, too.
The cultural elites in Spain are sure on the dark side, though.
Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.
