Dan Savage and Andrew Sullivan. I asked for the proof that you claim exists and you give me politicos. All you have done is demonstrate that the state's policy is based on opinion.

I asked for the proof which you claimed showed that being raised by homosexual parents has no developmental effect on children.
And I wanted *you* to explain it. I read through those articles and they made the same assertions with the same lack of backup0. They were opinion without compelling reasoning.
Re: In Your Defensiveness, You're Becoming a Proponent of OBVIOUSLY "Un-Christian" Cruelty!
Look, there's ALSO NO "compelling reasoning" that same-sex parents harm the development of a child. I myself have known two pairs of same-sex parents who raised perfectly heterosexual kids in such a way as to cherish, affirm and celebrate those kids' HETEROSEXUALITY.
KIDS LIKE THOSE are the only valid assessors of the situation. Are you going to deceitfully claim that the Church and her paid "counselors" and "psychologists" are actually ASKING the REAL PEOPLE in the situation?--Actually asking the children who've benefited from "gay adoptions" about the care and love they've been given (which I've actually SEEN with my own two eyes)? No, you know they don't even want to hear it--and neither do you. Your mind is made up, like a bigot's always is!
Re: In Your Defensiveness, You're Becoming a Proponent of OBVIOUSLY "Un-Christian" Cruelty!
You've known a couple of people, and your experience falls vicitm to the same problem as so many of those studies .. small sample size. And my experience has been different, encountering just what the USC study that is so critical of the other studies found in the data of those very studies, a higher incidence of sexual promiscuity and experimentation and depression.
And as always, this is where we end up. I challenge you to substantiate your position and you call me names. You claim the banner of charity, but you give geckowwjd a run for the least charitable Catholic I have ever interacted with.

I'll take that as a back-handed compliment, because, from my point of view, you're probably putting me into a group who are simply too bright and assertive to sit back and accept the mindless and cruel-minded pontifications dished out by your ilk. We WILL speak up for all those poor folk who are being demonized and excluded by your power-hungry ecclesiastical establishment, whose historical record is so God-awful!

I never claimed to give you "proof" that the Church's policy was immoral and unnecessarily cruel. That's self-evident, to any but moral idiots.
