Here's a step in the right direction...

Of course, get this gem (quoted from the article):

The bill's chief sponsor, Rep. Ron Hood, contends that children raised by gay parents face increased risk of physical and emotional problems. His concerns are shared by many conservative groups which argue that same-sex partnerships are less stable than heterosexual marriages.

No shit. You think?

Ever occur to you the reason behind that is because you try to get legislation passed that essentially states 'the general public thinks this lifestyle choice is wrong and we will do anything to stop it'? Or that same-sex relationships fall apart a lot of times from sheer social pressure?

No? Hmn. Maybe that's part of the problem.

Not only do same-sex partners have to deal with ALL of the usual marriage problems (without any of the governmental benefits, either--like, say, TAX BREAKS--that hetero pairs get, or legal recognition, like having a legally acknowledged marriage), but they have to deal with harassment, constantly changing laws that usually end up in worse shape than when they started, harassment, losing their children and livelihood if the locals don't like it, harassment...

I said that already, didn't I?

Anyway--point being--of COURSE the relationships aren't as stable--there's incredible outside pressure for it NOT to work.

Try actually supporting the lifestyle just like you do for hets...bet me it would settle down into the same stats for 'things going wrong' once all the extraneous pressure is gone.

But hey, what do I know, right?

Oops...I'm on the soap box. XD.

Anyhow...good going on the adoption people.

BAD legislator. Get with the program.
