Gay activists insist that all these problems are caused by society's negative attitudes, but the problemsare just as prevalent in extremely tolerant countries, such as the Netherlands and New Zealand.(10).5) “Gay marriage” should not be treated as a beneficial social structure. In addition to beingnon-procreative, homosexual relationships, unlike marriage relationships, are characterizedby instability / promiscuity rather than stability / fidelity.Promoters of "gay marriage" claim that same-sex relationships are just like marriages and thereforedeserve all the benefits of marriage, but research shows -- and activists admit -- that it is unrealistic toexpect male couples to be faithful.(11)6) Homosexual couples should not adopt children.Studies used to “prove” there are no differences between children raised by same-sex couples andthose raised by their biological married mother and father are, virtually without exception, internallyand externally invalid.(12) In many cases the authors have misreported their own findings. Given theextensive literature on the damage done to children through father or mother absence, it is deceitfulto suggest that purposely and premeditatedly depriving a child of a mother or a father will not haveconsequences for that child.(13)The material above is adapted from an article titled Facts, not flattery, about same-sex attraction, published at www.narth.com, andsigned by the following physicians, therapists and researchers:Dean Byrd, PhD, President elect of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality(NARTH); Michelle A.
