If homosexuality were preventable should it be prevented?

[Aractus]

You have very deceitfully cited single parenthood as an argument against homosexual parents.

Oh get fucked. All I said is what the best arrangement is for the child. Children also suffer when parents go through divorce. There's any number of factors that CAN negatively effect children, I didn't focus on the NEGATIVE, I said what the ideal situation is, that's it.

There are no independent studies which show, conclusively, a significant benefit to children who have a mother and a father compared to those who have same-sex parents. Because, of course, that's total bullshit.

They need a father and a mother. When deprived of one, or the other, they look to others to be a father figure or mother figure, and this is well known to cause problems. You can counteract this, to some extent, by having a stable substitute father figure or mother figure for them, but it's still not ideal.

Children of caring homosexual parents are undoubtedly more suited to the task than a great many devoutly religious heterosexual parents.

Did you think that one up yourself?

When I see young people denying evolution, expressing homophobia, or being forced to attend many kinds of sinister religious services (especially Catholic and evangelical Christian), I see child abuse, because these are kids who are being intentionally denied their best interests and must succeed at life in spite of this.

Children are lied to in school. I know I was lied to. I was taught that the primary colours are red blue and yellow, and that you cannot make blue paint because it's a "primary colour". Actually you make blue paint by mixing cyan and magenta paints in equal amounts. I was taught many things that were wrong.

When I see children being taught global warming and shown "Incontinent Truth" I see child abuse. I would like to see them exposed to a more balanced teaching on science. The same goes with Evolution, I was taught lies about Evolution when I was a child, and it wasn't until I moved on from the lies that I could accept it. I was taught certain things about Evolution that are theory were fact.

I was taught in school, essentially, that Pons and Fleischmann were con men. Nothing could be further from the truth!

I was taught all kinds of bullshit in school that I believed, and I had to unlearn as an adult. So don't have a go to me about it.

As I said in my first response to you, there is not a single secular argument against homosexuals marrying and adopting which does not apply (and much more strongly, arguably) to religious heterosexuals.

Just because you disagree with the argument doesn't mean that there isn't one.
