Gay Parenting

[PanzerJaeger]

I do not disregard science at all. But neither do I suffer from "white coat syndrome", as one of my brothers calls it, where a person accepts anything said by a doctor or person with a title after their name simply because that person is a doctor or has a title after their name.

There is good science and bad science, and sometimes a person just to rely on common sense to figure it out for himself. And though common sense seems to have a bad reputation around here, I think that many of its detractors will find occasions in life - lots and lots of them - where jumping up and down and waiving a science report around isn't going to do squat for them, while on the other hand just a thimble full of common sense will pull their keester right out of the fire.

If common sense was so intuitive, so innate, such a known known... wouldn't it be easily provable?

I don't need one of those scary boogie men in white coats to tell me that if I throw a rock in the air it will come down. However, there is a whole body of scientific evidence surrounding gravitation that underpins it. It is common sense that I need air to breathe. There is also plenty of science behind the concept that explains exactly why the body needs oxygen and how it uses it.

Then there are those common sense truisms like cold temperature being the cause of respiratory illnesses or that the earth is flat that have been shown, by the scary boogie men in white coats, to be false.

Since you're unwilling to actually specify the unique roles only men and women can play in the family and cannot come up with any examples of the problems gay parenting causes children, do you at least want to take a stab at why the science doesn't back up your common sense?

Earlier in the thread you seemed to suggest a cabal of gay rights activists pulling the strings (undoubtedly from their lair in the basement of a gay bar) in the scientific community. Are you sticking with that?
