Homosexual Group Wants to Deny Children Their Mother or Their Father
Equality Arizona is beginning a new effort called Project Jigsaw: Connecting Every Child with a Loving Family. The purpose is to "create an environment where all couples, regardless of sexual orientation or gender, have the opportunity to provide a stable, loving home for a child." Through adoption.Those are the talking points.Here is the truth. There is a lot more to it than Equality Arizona is saying. It's the quality of the home environment that counts the most. It means everything to children in their formative years.Adopting children into the homes of either two men or two women is not in childrens' best interests. Sure, we understand some same-sex couples want to raise children, but let's ask the children who have already been through this experience.They are telling us it was not a good way to grow up. Far from it. Katy Faust says so. Dawn Stefanowicz says so. Meg says so. Heather Barwick says so.Read what Dawn said:
My biggest concern is that children are not being discussed in this same-sex marriage debate. Yet, won't the next step for some gay activists be to ask for legal adoption of children if same-sex marriage is legalized? I have considered some of the potential physical and psychological health risks for children raised in this situation. I was at high risk of exposure to contagious STDs due to sexual molestation, my father's high-risk sexual behaviors, and multiple partners. Even when my father was in what looked like monogamous relationships, he continued cruising for anonymous sex.
Governor Doug Ducey also made some noise recently about just putting children in any loving home. He and others are making a big mistake if they don't take a deep look at the history, the social science and the personal testimonies on this.The average homosexual relationship lasts 18 months -- hardly a "loving home" or conducive to the stability young boys and girls need.We have more than enough fatherless children in America. Our prisons bear the result of that. No two women can offset the absence of dad. No two men can offset the absence of a nurturing mom. The kids are not all right.And we just saw another example of domestic violence with two female pro basketball players who beat the snot out of each other and then quickly got married to try to assuage law enforcement.Homosexuals also engage in far more risky behaviors than married male-female couples. Like drug abuse. And alcohol abuse. AIDS, of course, is much more prevalent among homosexuals.A majority of male homosexuals were sexually abused as children. Many girls also struggle with same-sex attraction because of the unhealthy home environments they were raised in.So now you want to take people with deep-seeded personal issues and mollify them with all kinds of rights and complicate their problems by giving them custody of children?It makes no common sense. Arizona, Governor Ducey, CPS, adoption agencies, do not repeat the mistakes with young, sensitive, impressionable children. It is not like you are operating in the dark with no credible information to base your decisions on. We know the results in advance if you go down this road. Stop. Think about it. Forget political correctness.One more question for the governor and any other elected official: is it worth scoring political points at the expense of children whose lives will be put at risk.No.Every child needs a mom AND a dad. No alternative can substitute for this fact. Children raised in the homes of married mom and dad do better in every physical, emotional, social, and educational level. Every one. This is not debatable.
