But I dont want to get dragged into the religious side of this. What do you have to say about my other points?[/quote] Whether something "has always been" is irrelevant. An adoption agency (very luckily for me) cannot refuse to give a child to a family of a different race because they believe in racial purity. Same thing with same sex couples. This isn't the "religious side" of anything. It's the simple fact that the Supreme Court has said that the governemnt can't interfere with marriage, and that the governemnt is doing so unconstitutionally. [/quote] It is relevant because as people have said in this topic is that religious marriage is different and left to the church. I can understand that they are two both different things. However when you rule that same sex couples can be married outside of religion it still effects it in other areas such as adoption. It also forces adoption houses that arnt religious to have no preference over hetro couples. They might not believe in same sex couples bringing up children because of the physiological effects this can have which I have previously stated. So it is still forcing the opinion that previous pro same sex couples keep saying they never do. There is a difference between "race" and "gender" can people please stop using this argument.[/quote] I'm pretty sure you meant psychological as physiological would imply that the kids are actually physically different. Still waiting for you to prove that though. The only psychological difference I can see that has been proven by same sex couple's children is that they don't share the same discriminatory tendencies against same sex couples.[/quote] That was a typo and I apologies. That may be the only psychological thing you have noticed because you have not done your research.[/quote] So would you like to finally post YOUR research that proves it then?
