- DO MOTHERS AND FATHERS MATTER?
Do children do best when they are raised
by their own married mother and fathers, or
are alternative family forms just as good at
protecting children? An emerging bi-partisan
consensus on marriage and child well-being is
being challenged by research on gay and
lesbian parenting, which some scholars and
advocates say shows that children do just as
well raised by unisex couples. How should
policymakers and other elites evaluate these
two competing bodies of evidence?

While homosexuals claim they make up 10% of the population, the reality is closer to 1-2%.

This admission took place in a Friend of the Court brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court on March 26, 2003 in the Texas sodomy case known as Lawrence v. Texas. In this case, homosexuals are trying to have the Texas law against sodomy declared unconstitutional by the Court.

- Homosexual Marriage = Civil Unions = Domestic Partnerships
Homosexual activists have been working for decades to push for the normalization
of same-sex relationships through local, state, and federal governments. One of
the first strategies was to gain approval of “domestic partnerships”
in government, schools, and corporations. The second strategy called for the pushing

comparison of these relationships, they all basically legalize homosexual marriage.

- THE OVERHAULING OF STRAIGHT AMERICA
The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights. To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preference the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games: she likes strawberry and I like vanilla; he follows baseball and I follow football. No big deal.
- The So-Called ‘Hate Crimes’ Bill S. 909, The Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act
