Gay Adoption

I'm sorry I couldn't reply sooner. I really wanted to. I've been beyond busy. THis may be a little rushed.Rebuttal to His Response to Case 5:Ben Carson is a Neurosurgeon who has run for president. If anyone knows something about the American people, it'd be Ben Carson. He gets the anchor of the show to admit that people going into prison straight can come out gay. When Ben asks why, he can't respond. There are many factors as I said in my last argument. Environmental and spiritual factors that determine a trait can be changed. Given the right methods, sexual orientation can be changed. Well, people find it taboo. People like the taboo. I'll just let Jane Ward and more homosexuals including a college professor tell you they chose to be gay."But the fact that the “born this way” hypothesis has resulted in greater political returns for gay and lesbian people doesn’t have anything to do with whether it is true. Maybe, as gay people, we want to get together and pretendit is true because it is politically strategic….But still, it wouldn't’t make the idea true. … People like to cite “the overwhelming scientific evidence” that sexual orientation is biological in nature. But show me a study that claims to have proven this, and I will show you a flawed research design. … People like to use the failure of “gay conversion” therapies as evidence that homosexuality is innate. First of all, these conversions do not always fail….the point is that we can and do change. For instance, in high school and early in college, my sexual desires were deeply bound up with sexism. I wanted to be a hot girl, and I wanted powerful men to desire me. I was as authentically heterosexual as any woman I knew. But later, several years into my exploration of feminist politics, what I once found desirable (heterosexuality and sexism) became utterly unappealing. I became critical of homophobia and sexism in ways that allowed these forces far less power to determine the shape of my desires. If this had not happened, no doubt I’d be married to a man….But instead, I was drawn to queerness for various political and emotional reasons, and from my vantage point today, I believe it to be one of the best desires I ever cultivated. [emphasis added]" (1)As you can see, homosexuals themselves admit it is a choice. Some homosexuals may make it while they're young and grow up like that. That's why some teens rebel and take a stand. Others, like Jane, change over time. I'd like to fire a question back at you. If they knew their parents are against it, why did they openly say they were homosexual? Rebuttal to Response to Case 1:""However,a number of researchers have pointed out significant methodological problems with the research that would cast doubt on the conclusiveness of the “no difference” findings. Even some researchers supportive of same-sex parenting have acknowledged the significant methodological limitations in the research to date"It never refers to studies against "no difference" findings. They're saying that the way that advocates for "no difference" conducts their research is flawed. Rebuttal to Response to Case 2:Again, if children of homosexual parents get this messed up in just this short amount of time, how messed up will they be if raised for longer periods of time. If anything, it lays as proof that just a short time of homosexual parenting is harmful.Rebuttal to Response to Case 3:If you look at the bottom of the source, you'll see the citations are more than adequate. It gets its statistics from all of its citations.I believe homosexuaity and sexuality in general is determined by environemntal and spiritual factors.I did prove it. I used another source besides Ben Carson which you didn't even mention in your argument. I have shown through my sources that the increased suicide and depression rate is due to being homosexual. No matter how you spin it, homosexuality is a choice and it leads to an increased suicide and depression rate.No. Google it or just read the highlights that's laid out.Either way you spin it, homosexuals choose to come out and say they're homosexual. IF bullying is the cause, they could wait to say it. Homosexuality is a choice. However, my sources laid out the fact that homosexuality is the causation of those statistics. There are other statistics I've presented that show there's harm in being homosexual yet, you ignore it.Or we save the children and not let them adopt.I've acknowledged that. However, it seems to advocate that heterosexuality does indeed influence it by certain verbage.May I ask how dating violence is attributed to people not accepting them?Well, it would have been an experience that shaped their mentality so you never know. Statistics don't lie. Maybe that can be A (one of the) factor causes them to be homosexual or it's a result of their sexuality. Either way you spin it, it strenghtens my case.Rebuttal to Response of Case 4:Well played, man. I'll give you that one. You say the trend may not be present today; yet provide zero data to prove otherwise. I believe I addressed this in my argument."To examine heterosexuals' perceptions of bisexuals, 353 young adults read a description of a dating couple and rated each partner and the couple on several dimensions. The gender and sexual orientation (bisexual, heterosexual, homosexual) of each partner was varied among research participants. Compared to heterosexuals, bisexuals were seen as less likely to be monogamous, more likely to give a sexually transmitted disease (STD) to a partner, and more able to satisfy a partner sexually. Compared to gay men and lesbians, bisexuals were seen as more likely to give an STD to a partner and less able to satisfy a partner sexually. Despite their seeming behavioral compliance to heterosexual relationship norms, bisexuals in male–female relationships were not viewed more positively than bisexuals in same-gender relationships. Participants perceived male and female bisexuals similarly. Explanations for these and other findings are considered."This shows that homosexuals (included bisexuals) are more likely to cheat. Note that the article didn't say that homosexuals cheat less than bisexuals while it said that heterosexuals cheat less. Thus, the article lets us know that bisexuals and homosexuals cheat more than heterosexuals. (2) Rebuttals to Pro-Adoption Case:As I showed earlier, homosexuals adopting will do more harm than good. Conclusion:I didn't have much time so this argument was fast. Pro has ignored evidence I've brought forth or simply denied it. I urge you to vote Con.Anime OP: 1. http://tinyurl.com...2. http://pwq.sagepub.com...
