Are children reared by two individuals of the same gender as well adjusted as children reared in families with a mother and a father?
Until recently the unequivocal answer to this question was "no." Policymakers, social scientists, the media, and even physician organizations1, however, are now asserting that prohibitions on parenting by homosexual couples should be lifted. In making such far-reaching, generation-changing assertions, any responsible advocate would rely upon supporting evidence that is comprehensive and conclusive.
Not only is this not the situation, but also there is sound evidence that children exposed to the homosexual lifestyle may be at increased risk for emotional, mental, and even physical harm.
A quick Google search reveals that the "Academy" is 75 years old and the "College" about three years old.
So it isn't fair to ask about "power," though it is amusing to note the names and websites are very similar.
Sometimes people just crack me up...
The media will always compare the "best" gay parents with the most pathetic regular parents they can scrape up.
My own niece, during her teenage years, lived for a couple of years with her Dad's first cousin and her lesbian lover. She could not get along with her parents, was very rebellious, and they were at their wits end, so ended up sending her to live with the cousin whom she had admired and been very close to for years. The lesbian relationship was one of exploitation, domination, and conflict (some of it racial), and the episode was not a happy living situation. It ended only with the girl's graduation from high school. I don't think it did my niece any good at all. The cousin has since decided that she is NOT a lesbian and is now married with a child. Go figure! Just FYI, my niece married an on-again, off-again substance abuser who is on his second try at residential rehab and cannot hold a job, and she has three small children whom her parents help support. Her parents are still at their wits end.
Poor innocent little kids.....what a shame!
I don't need the word of God to know it's gross!
I was almost in tears laughing!! Ewwww!!!! That is too friggin' nasty.
When they do end up filing for divorce,neither one of will care about the kid.They'll be fighting for custody of the gerbil.
LOL, I'm sure they will! Why do ass-less chaps come to mind?
(in lisp) "Alright boys, its family night! Would you rather watch the Teletubbies or Brokeback Mountain?"

The MEDIA? OK, I can see the other 3 putting their two cents in, no matter how wrong they clearly are, but what are the qualifications of the media? Non-existent, that's what.
Alright, that had me in tears! Too funny, too true, and yet way too sad.
Do the kids end up talking with a lisp?
uggh
Oh no,not Mister Slave.Maybe the gerbil will bump into Paris Hilton in there somewhere.
LOL! "Ohh-h-h-h Jeethus Crithhh"
That was probably one of the best episodes they ever did!
Head em up, move em in.
Mr. Slave sure showed her a thing or two,didn't he?
LOL, I was referring to the lemmiwinks episode. I haven't seen the Paris one yet. Is it better than lemmiwinks?
Ewwww...
