Are you saying that no one ever chooses their sexual preference? Are you saying that applies to every single one of the 6+ billion people on earth?

Lots of interesting things to discuss in the article. Here is a paragraph that really puzzled me:

With all the time and research going into these Prop 8 communications, I have noticed a suspicious absence of any data on the effect of homosexual marriage in Massachusetts...where it has been legal now for several years.
In fact, the only reference to Mass. has been the misleading adoption issue. Does anybody know if, as some have claimed here and elsewhere, children in Mass public schools are now being indoctrinated with homosexuality? Has there been a rise of teens coming out of the closet? Has society in Mass. crumbled? What exactly has happened there that we can safely assume will also happen in California and elsewhere?

What kind of data are you looking for and what kind of credible data would you expect to see emerge from such a short time horizon?

Ha...you are tax a guy, I forgot.....the insurance stuff.
Please explain Catholic Charities USA to all of us. Where does it get its funding? How much of it is directly from the state? how much of it comes from large corporations? Why doesnt the Catholic Church simply privately fund its adoption agency? And in what way is the LDS adoption situation different from the CCUSA situation?

It isnt hard for someone in the Church to go verify whether homosexuality is now a forced part of the public school curriculum, now is it? Are you now of the position that there is no real way to gauge the effects of gay marriage on society without waiting for a long time horizon after such practice is legalized? If so, I would agree.

Would you care to demonstrate where I stated otherwise before?
