Just want to share with everyone this most recent research finding:
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2006/nov/06112905.html
Here are two findings from this research:
- Men who marry homosexually are more likely to have been raised in a family with unstable parental relationships -- particularly, absent or unknown fathers and divorced parents.
- Findings on women who marry homosexually were less pronounced, but were still associated with a childhood marked by a broken family. The rates of same-sex marriage "were elevated among women who experienced maternal death during adolescence, women with short duration of parental marriage, and women with long duration of mother-absent cohabitation with father."
The result of - Men who marry homosexually are more likely to have been raised in a family with unstable parental relationships -- particularly, absent or unknown fathers and divorced parents.

We could only pray that God could heal all these broken hearts from so many broken families here in the States.
"What is impossible with men is possible with God." - Luke 18:27
All available studies from around the world and here in the U.S., give ample evidence that redefining marriage is a huge social experiment that will be detrimental to America's society.
It's astonishing that we have come to a time where people don't actually know what marriage means.
The only studies with data that support homosexual "marriage" are done by homosexuals and their supporters and are all flawed studies.
On the other hand, former supporters of homosexual "marriage" have concluded from their own studies, and that of many others, that advocating homesexuality is unhealthy mentally, physically, and spiritually. Tolerating is one thing. Advocating is another.
I am fortunate. 2/3 of my homosexual friends don't advocate it and think that homosexual advocates are off the wall.
Writing discrimination into the constitution is abominable.
Surely we are better than that.
How is it discrimination? Homosexuality is unnatural and preverted...It is an abomination against God and this great nation...
I can not beleive all this that I read! Are we hypocriticals or what? We have been a country that discriminated for centuries. Look at civil rights movement, womens equality and all that. Now we propose a bill to discriminate against homosexuality! IT'S INSANE! When is enough, enough! Let the GLBT community have their rights, just like any human being should. We are quick to preach to others, specially foreign nations but look at us hypocriticals. It's a shame!
Discrimination is based on how a person is born...Race, gender, national origin...Homosexuality is chosen just like a man who murders or molest children...And no, your are not born with it...Too many have turn from homosexuality and live normal lives...Don't cheapen the african Americian fight for Civil Rights by saying its the same as Homosexuality because it's not.
