re: Gay designers Dolce & Gabbana make statement : gay families unnatural

These homosexuals get it!

This is a great Monday!

All I want are gay married couples to protect themselves from violence with a firearm while enjoying free speech rights. That's my definition of freedom.

and what if the statement of these 2 gays are correct, is it still freedom?

Free speech doesn't mean accurate.

This is the most important part of the issue. As long children are in a positive, caring, and nurturing environment, they are going to better off, regardless of the parental dynamic.

Edit: Salmon beat me to it

Will they be gay super soldiers though?

Just wait until the media gets a hold of this.

RIP D&G

They state the obvious but considering their circumstances it took guts to do so. I would guess that the gay community will be no more tolerate of the views of Dolce & Gabbana than the black community and liberal progressives are of Uncle Toms'.

This guy gets it.

First, I love any person, anywhere that has the courage to support their convictions. Especially these guys, being leaders of their industry with so much to lose

I dont understand the thinking of a few in here that this will blow over for them. This isnt just about parenting, this strikes at the heart of gay marriage, which you may not know is a prominent civil rights issue these days. And this is possibly the gayest couple in human history speaking against it. Gay people make up less than 5% of the population in this country, yet if you own a TV youd be forgiven for thinking its around 40%

I have no problem with same sex parents personally. I do have a problem with more study not being done before the issue was was pounded down everyones throats as a human rights cause. How many times has it even entered the discussion as to whether its detrimental to the development of the children. It seems the dysfunctional, often broken state of the modern "traditional" family leads most people to have a "well, whats worse" attitude instead of "whats best", which seems like a slippery slope

Though I do see infinite problems in doing this type of study. What are you comparing? Half the modern households are single parent. Whats considered an exemplary gay family? That a child could end up with real identity issues and or feel socially estranged in many situations seems likely. But people smarter than me can decide whether that detriment warrants any type of consideration or action. If theyre bold enough to even try, and risk being labeled hate mongers or backward thinkers with an agenda

Regardless ,it doesn't seem much thought has been given to the long term effects of child development along the way, considering how huge of an issue this has been over the last 10 yrs. Its like the issue of civil rights was just a blanket causr that covered everything

Chef, a study should be done. However, it would be nearly impossible to design in an unbiased manner, it would also be EXTREMELY unethical right from the start given you would appear to be essentially expirementing on kids...even though you wouldn't be.

Any couples selected would automatically bias the sample because the majority of stable gay couples are wealthier than average.

The randomization would be impossible, and even if you were able to succeed, finding enough unviased researchers to go through with the experiment is equally as unlikely.

As a result, we can only go by the ones we see; from what I have seen, all end up with well adjusted above average kids.

If it you find it to be morally wrong, that's perfectly fine. Just avoid getting into a same sex relationship and having a kid.
