Again, there is no argument so you have no defeat, nor will you ever.
Let it go.

Maybe its something about the brain chemistry - maybe people of the same gender have too much alike to live together for that long.

Most likely. Definitely something wrong in the brain.
I really don't believe its a choice they just make because of their surroundings or whatever. It doesn't fit.

I suppose you could adopt kids, as Bob says, it doesnt really matter as long as your 'children' are well cared for, loved, and not abused.

Having two Dads/Moms? No thanks.
Poor kids.

Sorry, but idealism doesn't trump common sense.

Nice

Either way as far as this subject is concerned I have not heard any further news. I'll keep you posted.

Uh, so there's no argument about gay marriages here? Why is this thread in The Pub then?

Well, it is, from a scientific standpoint. Socially, it isn't normal, as is the case with homosexuality, which is a minority trait. But that doesn't mean it's a negative thing.

You’re right. It’s just you, stating and restating your opinion like it’s the ultimate rebuttal.

What possible evidence could point to two moms/two dads being a thoroughly negative thing? I’m talking statistically accurate evidence, and not some opinion tripe.

Only because you types keep trying to tell me my views are wrong, what choice do I have?

Common sense?

I request a move to Spamming Forums, if not at least a move to General Yib-Yab (Off Topic).

Nah. I think male sexuality is something as ideally suited to the pub as anything out there.

This is in the pub, right?

It was a rhetorical question. There are no statistics, because it's an untrue generalization.

Re-word your argument using non-offensive and/or open-minded terminology and language, so it appears as though you've conceded while still maintaining your original point? That way everybody wins and we stop going in circles.

Well, apart from the fact that a child growing up close to homosexual parents may have greater homosexual tendencies than other children, there's nothing wrong with it.

And Why is my whole reply in italics? I press Ctrl+I, but it always changes back. See?

[Floorwax]

Maybe. I don't think sexual orientation is something that can be influenced by everyday life experiences, though I wouldn't know for sure.

And your italics problem: is your text within your quote?
