I pause on this same-sex marriage thing. Most of us do favor allowing them to live together. Most of us do favor giving them many of the privileges that come with marriages.
But, I wonder about children. Should we let them adopt? If there is evidence that children do not prosper as well when placed in same-sex homes, do we allow it, anyway? We should want to place the children in the best and most favorable circumstances. Is the same-sex family just as good as the natural one, as far as raising children?
Another question rises as I think on this. Of the children raised in same-sex homes, is there a greater tendency for them to end up of same-sex attraction, themselves? Such a thing would not seem to be so, if we grant that sexual orientation is a thing set by birth. If a gene decides sexual orientation, then the example and influence of parents will not serve to make one iota of difference.
