Yes – I am gay – A lesbian trapped in a man's body. Quite happy with my lady.
Everybody is a bigot in one sense or another.
Proper label would be a misanthropic arrogant and justifiably pretentious snob.
THOSE who oppose gay marriage often argue that having gay parents is hard on children. This has been a hard argument to make, because there simply isn't that much data about the effects of growing up with gay parents, and what little there is—such as the 2010 study that found a 0% rate of child abuse in lesbian households—tends to undermine it. Some will believe that has changed this week with the publication of a new study by Mark Regnerus, a sociologist at the University of Texas, on "adult children of parents who have same-sex relationships." As Mr Regnerus explains, in an accompanying essay at Slate, there are significant differences between that group and those who grew up in intact biological families (ie, a mother and a father, no adoption, no divorce). "On 25 of 40 different outcomes evaluated, the children of women who've had same-sex relationships fare quite differently than those in stable, biologically-intact mom-and-pop families," he writes, "displaying numbers more comparable to those from heterosexual stepfamilies and single parents."
The study has been greeted with fierce criticism, and for good reason. Mr Regnerus's methodology stacked the deck against gay parents. There aren't that many young adults around who grew up with openly gay parents, so he drew a bigger circle. Anyone who reported that either of their parents had a same-sex relationship while they were growing up was put into the "lesbian mothers" or "gay fathers" category, regardless of whether their parents had been married or divorced, whether the kids were adopted or biological, whether the parents seemed happy or not, whether the same-sex affair was a one-time encounter or the basis of the household, and so on. (By this silly standard, the number of children growing up with a gay parent is about to skyrocket.)
As Jim Burroway explains, "If one wanted to intentionally create Lesbian Mothers and Gay Fathers groups which were least likely to look like an intact biological family, I can't imagine a better way to do so than to take the steps Regnerus has taken here." Most of the people classified as having a gay or lesbian parent came from a broken home—which isn't really surprising, if you consider that all the respondents were born when gay marriage was illegal in the United States, and homosexuality was largely stigmatised. "If their kids, 20 to 40 years later, are struggling, does that reflect poorly on gay parents?" William Saletan rightly asks. "Or does it reflect poorly on the era of fake heterosexual marriages?"
Moreover, it's probably safe to assume that the study will be used by critics of gay marriage to corroborate their stated belief that it is bad for children. Although Mr Regnerus says that he's not blaming sexual orientation for anything, per se, he does seem sceptical of gay parents, and he isn't showing much common sense about the ways America has changed since 1975. He acknowledges, for example, that the current generation of gay and lesbian parents "may be forging more stable relationships in an era that is more accepting and supportive of gay and lesbian couples." It would be shocking if they weren't. But regardless of Mr Regnerus's conclusions, critics of gay marriage can take the top-line result—that there has, historically, been a difference between growing up with gay parents and growing up with an intact biological family—to make a political point. "That's unfortunate because it's illogical and unfair," writes John Corvino at the New Republic. "But it's especially unfortunate because it misses yet another opportunity to focus on actual child welfare."
That points to another regrettable phenomenon: it's become virtually impossible to have a public discussion about marriage, family structures, and child welfare without things going quickly off the rails. This kind of research, after all, isn't useless. Mr Saletan, after registering his concerns, finds some value in Mr Regnerus's study. "It tells us something important," he writes. "We need fewer broken homes among gays, just as we do among straights. We need to study Regnerus' sample and fix the mistakes we made 20 or 40 years ago." The findings, in other words, could be used to make a case against bigotry rather than against gay people: if the previous generation of gay parents showed more instability than their straight counterparts, it might be a reflection of the fact that it was hard to be gay in America during an era when homosexuality was broadly and cruelly stigmatised.

Yes – I am gay – A lesbian trapped in a man's body. Quite happy with my lady.
Everybody is a bigot in one sense or another.
Proper label would be a misanthropic arrogant and justifiably pretentious snob.
First set up two groups:
1) children from heterosexual couples that have been together during the entire youth of the child
2) children from homosexual couples that have been together during the entire youth of the child
Then do the math.
And then we talk.
Otherwise it is just bull.
Jerry Sandusky is a pedophile. Gay =/= pedophilia.
mahagwa - but all the evidence points to the fact that homosexuality IS an inborn trait and IS NOT "adverse to mental health", yet it appears people like yourself are on a full on drive to convince everyone to reject homosexuality; to convince everyone that the homosexual way is the wrong way.
Also, your blonde analogy is wrong. A better way of describing this study would be that you pick two blondes, neither of who have any educational qualifications, and declare blondes as dumb. Then to prove your point you expand your pool of likely candidates to include women from a period when women were not allowed to go to school.
Bigoted comments have gotten you nowhere in this thread, but you don't care.
/Your bigotry is no substitute for a conversation.
Don't confuse 'freedom' with license.
I'm not sure whether you're referring to me (the right word to use for that is "you") but, in that case, as long as all the parties involved are capable of giving meaningful consent and they do, that's fine with me.
this person also believes that its a right to be married to more than one person, ignorant rhetoric lol
This article reminded me of this other article by Givewell, about the state of research in the social sciences: http://blog.givewell.org/2012/06/11/meta-research/
You might want to speak with a Palestinian before you confidently assert that Arabs live freely in Israel.
But otherwise, you have convinced me. Lesbians and gay men will do irreparable psychological damage to children. We need to follow the blueprint drafted your historical heterosexual role models: Abraham who threatened to kill his son and Lot who offered up his daughters to be raped. I don't know why it took me so long to see the light, Lone Wolf. I now understand God's wishes.
I like how the article predicts exactly what happens in the comment section.
As the bible says, "let your heart be filled with hate and covet thy neighbor's freedom."
No it's more than that.
Parents are essential in the education of a child, particularly in the social education, and discipline is only a very small part of the problem (but a problem none the less).
Presenting a dysfunctional relationship to children is the most effective may for any parent to distort how a child will relate to the other gender in the future.
Teachers can pick which students come from homes with dysfunctional parents very quickly. If a child has never learnt how to relate to the other gender, they will never know how to relate and inappropriate behavior should be expected (aggressive, defensive, oppositional etc).
Jails are full of adults who were raised poorly and were never taught how to relate to people appropriately (starting with authority/police)
I agree with everything you say until the last 5 words (though there may be a correlation I think it's a long bow)
Preventing people from divorcing is not the answer, but making people think seriously before getting married (or having children) would.
If marriage was forever, people would think twice about marrying someone they have known for 3 weeks or 3 months.
Making divorce easier is only one of the many factors contributing to the fracturing of the nuclear family unity: these days, there are more cohabiting couples than married couples, while divorce rates have actually declined in the 2000s from a peak in the 1980s.
Besides, if Americans really placed their children first in their marriages, they would probably not get divorced, have affairs, or have fights in front of their children. (Just a personal opinion)
Homosexuality entwines with the development of civilization in sub-stream. It persist in human history no matter mainstream jugulate it or treat it with tolerance. Since it's a material being of human instinct, it's time for the public to show respect as the way to discuss some critical dillemas.
If we feel this is a legitimate line of inquiry, let's delve further into the "sexual preferences" of couples that might impact child development.
Did your father/mother engage in an extra-marital sexual relationship at any time?
Did your father/mother engage in BDSM at any time?
Did your father/mother have an open relationship?
Etc. Based on the results, we should dictate government policy, as clearly sexual preferences are a valid area for the government to be. I can see the headline now, "Study finds couples who engage in BDSM are better parents; legislators propose tax credits for ball gags."
I wonder how children of mixed-race marriages did in the age of segregation.
Is it possible that the Bible isn't God's word at all? Is it possible that the Bible is the word of some ancient sheep herders who were jockying for power?
The universe is God's word. God didn't need to then epilogue the awesome universe with a disjointed contradictory set of poetic scribblings.
I don't care what was sanctioned during the times of the Bible. Eating pork and shellfish was forbidden. Do you keep a kosher diet? Women were forced to be banished to a shed in back of the house during their unclean time of the month. Do you cling to that "common sense" edict from the Bible?
You act as if the Bible was the only record of God's existence. That it's "the Bible" or atheism. I believe the opposite. God is more infinite than any of our minds can perceive (most of all to some sheep herders from 5000-2000 years ago). The Bible was an attempt to politically control the people of its time and to try to wrestle with ideas of mortality and the infinite. You're living proof that the Bible succeeded in it's first mission. In my opinion, it fails on the second count when it tried and failed miserably to anthropomorphise the infinite and inconceivable God. The God who created gays and lesbians and protons and atoms and black holes and photosynthesis and matter and vacuums -- none of which are mentioned in the Bible because the people who wrote the Bible were not smart and didn't have the slightest incite at all into God.
/No; historical ignorance has spoken.
While I agree that stable families create more stable children than unstable families, not allowing two unstable people to divorce is not the same as having a stable relationship.
It's easy to compare divorced families to non-divorced ones because we have that data.
What's not easy to compare is stable parents to non-divorced parents that would absolutely be divorced if they could get one.
That's much harder data to acquire, and because not being able to legally divorce your spouse doesn't actually make you a good spouse, my hunch is that unstable people create unstable offspring.

Steelers Gain Land Near Heinz Field; Hotel, Venue Planned
Published August 7, 2008
|Steelers Gain Land Near Heinz
Field For Entertainment Development
MONEY MAN: A source said that Pittsburgh-based Duquesne Capital Management Chair Stanley Druckenmiller "remains optimistic a deal will be worked out where he will gain majority stock control of the Steelers' franchise." The source added that Druckenmiller is "eager and ready to proceed with a purchase plan that is 'simple and uncomplicated' and would greatly benefit the long-term financial health of the franchise." The source added that the plan is "uncomplicated" because Druckenmiller "would buy out the four Rooney brothers in a straight cash deal that would be paid immediately and not over any period of time." The source said that the deal "would allow the Steelers -- if Druckenmiller becomes majority stock owner -- to operate without any debt or interest payments and enable the team to spend the necessary money to remain competitive in the NFL" (PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE, 8/7).

UEFA Champions League playoff round preview: Oh, those second legs
Aug 26, 2014, 11:27 AM EDT
Noon ET brings us the first of five UEFA Champions League second legs, as Zenit St. Petersburg and Standard Liege look to advance into the group stage.
Those matches will be joined by five more on Wednesday, and tightly-contested — for the most part — first legs have launched us into a busy and potentially-tense 48 hours of soccer.
Russian international Oleg Shatov's goal in Liege last week gave Zenit that all-important away goal heading into this afternoon's tilt. It's 1-0 to the hosts when the two clubs kick off from Petrovsky Stadium.
[ RELATED: Real Madrid rolls out dragon-themed kits for UCL ]
Tuesday's four remaining games kick at 245 p.m. ET, and only Porto will be feeling much ease after securing an away goal from Mexico's Hector Herrera in a 1-0 win away at Lille. The French club will need to do work on the road to advance.
Celtic and Maribor, AaB and APOEL, and BATE Borisov's match with Slovan Bratislava are all knotted at 1 heading into the second leg. Scotland, Cyprus and Belarus are the locales for today's matches.
Looking ahead to Wednesday, Arsenal's task of defeating Besiktas at the Emirates will happen without captain Mikel Arteta, suspended midfielder Aaron Ramsey and injured forward Olivier Giroud.
[ RELATED: No Giroud for UCL clash, will Wenger look outside club? ]
Copenhagen needs to thrive in Germany, as they allowed Bayer Leverkusen to pot three away goals in a one-goal loss last week.
Malmo enters its second leg against Red Bull Salzburg knowing they're down a goal but have an away goal in their back pocket after a 2-1 loss in Austria, while Romania's Steaua Bucaresti boasts a 1-0 advantage heading into Sofia for a match with Ludogorets Razgrad.
Finally, Athletic Bilbao and Napoli drew 1-1 in Italy, setting the stage for a fun second leg in Spain.
Predicted to advance: Zenit, Bayer Leverkusen, Celtic, Porto, Besiktas, Steaua Bucaresti, Napoli, Malmo, BATE Borisov, AaB

I enjoyed this Monk novel enormously! It extends the plot a little further in a very surprising way, and the details of London's sewers was historically interesting. Ms. Perry has a brilliant way of bringing you into the era as more of a resident than an observer.
"Enjoying the Series"
Enjoyed the Thomas Pitt books, but this series appeals more. There is more depth to the story and the characters are very well developed. The only problem is there is a gap from books six through eleven in the audio lineup. I ordered these in paperback because I enjoy following a complete story line. Davina Porter is an excellent narrator.
"A slow start but worth persevering"
I almost gave up because the story seemed quite slow moving and ponderous for the first half. However the characters grew on me and the second half proved quite fascinating both with insight into the period and some clever turns in the plot.
The narration was excellent which also helped me persevere through the early chapters.
I am pleased I persevered :)
"Slow, Quiet Mystery But Interesting Main Character"
Yes. I liked the mystery, and I found the world-building and characterization well done.
Yes. I have already finished the next book in this series and am about to start the third.
Yes. It was slow, quiet and rather dry.
The first half of the book was slow and almost boring. I do not know whether this was due to the text or the narrator. It picked up around chapter 12 where it started getting a bit exciting. I had a lot of difficulty accepting the narration. I was 99.9% convinced I did not want to continue this series in audio, but convenience persuaded me otherwise. The problems I had with the narration included difficulty distinguishing certain characters from another, particularly male characters and especially when there weren't any dialogue tags; young women who sounded old or over delicate; some difficulty determining whether something was being spoken by a character or the narrator; occasionally whistling s's; muffled chatting in the background (which I later discovered was an echo of the narrator's words); and brief pauses from one sentence to another as if switching from one CD to the next. I did like the voice acting and the different accents, and I eventually grew to accept the narrator's voice for Monk.
"Not much meat"
The concept had promise, so maybe I should have just bought an abridged version. There seemed to be a lot of repetition of the grousing over the silliness of the English class system, as well as the nature of the relationship between Monk and his boss which is exacerbated by the silliness of the English class system. I kept falling asleep for 15-20 minutes, but then when I thumbed back found that I really hadn't missed anything, since I'd heard it all several times earlier in the book. Maybe it would help to be an anglophile, but I'm a lover of mysteries, and wouldn't include this book in that category.
"Great read"
A liitle confusing at first, but a good read and exciring finish. I hardily recommend this book.
Song Mama
"Nice clean book"
narrator did an excellent job. the story had a little too many details I recommend the book. Nice clean story
"Slow moving"
This narrator Ms. Davina Porter is so completely unmatched! Story wasn't gripping but Davina made it worth hanging in there.
"Tediously Internal"
The premise is rather promising. The problem is with the main character's internal dialog which is constant and then repeats. You want to like the main character, but he's just so tedious. You get to hear every single thought he has (in real-time). I you miss some of the internal dialog, no need to worry it will be repeated. An abridged version would be much better. With 1 hour to go I can't decide if I can get through it or not.

Footage From Star Wars: Episode III 558
from the III-could-hardly-be-worse-than-I-or-II dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Is Darth Vader a chubby, nerdy kid making whooshing noises? I could swear I saw this new "leaked footage" over a year ago! Of course, I'm a really, really 1337 w4r3z g0d.
"I'm just returning from something Lucasfilm has never done before and quite frankly something I never thought they would do. Although there is still a month before the release of the film worldwide, they showed a select group of people the movie. [snip] But even in it's nearly finished form you can see the soul of Star Wars in this one."
"You won't want to miss today's new editorial where TFN Editor Joshua Griffin posts a "review from the future" - an article that takes a hypothetical look at a finished film that is actually no where near complete. There are many points of discussion written within the editorial itself which will be expounded on in regular articles, the point is not to show a predetermined bias to loving the unseen final film but to simply believe that Star Wars can be great again.
I've seen it in the 1978 StarWars TV Christmas Special. BTW: You should watch that if you think the prequels suck
Actually, I'm thinking (and hoping, but probably in vain) that maybe we don't know what we think we know.
For example, everyone is expecting Anakin to become Vader. What if he's not? Perhaps Vader is a clone of Anakin. This could explain a few things:
You heard it here first! (c=
Absolutely none.The important question is... how much Natalie Portman does it show?
Oh, but Jimmy Smits makes a brief appearance.
I admit...
The lightsaber fights do end up looking good, even in these green screen clips.
Then I remember Star Wars: Episode 1. The lightsaber fight with Darth Maul / Obiwan was very very good, but the movie overall wasn't. I realize that from these scenes, that what's shown amounts to roughly 5-10 minutes of the movie that *might* actually be good.
Call me what you will, but there was nothing in Episode 1 that was truly memorable. There were no lines that are worthy of geeks repeating. There was nothing that truly captured me when I watched it, and made me want to see it again. Just because it's Star Wars, doesn't make it automatically fantastic.
I hope to god Episode 3 makes up for the other two. But I'm not holding my breath.
After all, what's the point of doing any kind of spin or wind-up movement... to build up more momentum which doesn't even affect an energy beam?
Well, here's a thought. Jedi's ability to "feel" the force (remember the drone whose laser bolts LS deflects in his novice training in ANH) means that all the spinning and stuff is necessary to even attempt to defeat their ability to put the light sabre in the right place at the right time to deflect a blow. Now, I am not trying to offer a "coherent" defence
Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back had the same ham-fisted Lucas dialog, but they were fun and you remember a lot of little lines from them. Heck, I can still hear the exact intonation of Luke's lines as he reacts to Ben Kenobi being cut down. "These aren't the droids we're looking for" and a bunch of other quotes have stuck with me forever. "Empire..." I recall a little less from, though I've probably seen it more. Some of the drippingly sarcastic "Your worship" stuff, and lots of Threepio's banter with R2D2, but not tons of it.
By the time we get to Return of the Jedi, though, I recall nothing to speak of. And for the last/first two movies, all, I can come up with is "Mee-sa." Seriously. And maybe, if I reach, "Around the survivors a perimeter create," but that I'm remembering because it was so stoo-pid. (The entire plot point, not just the line.)
Anyway, does anyone remember any lines from Episodes I or II? For good reasons? Try it out.
"Mach was the greatest intellectual fraud in the last ten years." "What about X?" "I said `intellectual'." ;login, 9/1990

In Pots or In the Ground for the First Few Years?
Another newbie fig growing question here.
I (think I've) read things in this forum that suggest that young figs are more susceptible to winter damage and death than older figs are. If that's true, would it be wise to keep my new figs in pots and bring them inside for the winter for the first few years. Or will that do more harm than good? Is the real benefit having the figs permanently in the ground as soon as possible?
I'm in Zone 6b and the winter temps regularly get down into the single digits. The figs in question are Celeste, Hardy Chicago and Oregon Prolific.
Lost two brown figs to cold.
So the figs I have ordered will go in pot for three years. I will get them in 1 gallon(3quart)pot, then re pot into 3 gallon pot, then 5 gallon pot & the fourth year I will plant in garden or re pot into 25 gallon.
Good Luck.
I am In Zone 7a. All my Figs are planted in pots. I do not re-pot them because I plant the pots in the Garden after Winter is gone then take them back in the house in Winter. When they grow to be big trees and it is impractical to take them in the house, will be planted permanently in the Garden. Another approach I am thinking about is to prune them to keep them manageable for pots. I read on this Board that a guy in Chicago was selling a Fig tree in a pot and the tree was 25 years old. Who knows.
I am not a pro in any way. But most of my new fig varieties are quite young. So I have brought them in the last year or so just incase so I do not lose them. I will probably do so for another year or so.
Again, I am not a pro, so I do not know what I am doing is the totally correct way, but I rather take them in the next 2 years rather than take the chance of losing them in the cold during the winter.
Christy :)
I, also, am new to rooting figs and trying varities.
But, this year, I have actually succeded in rooting a
LSU Gold and a Hollier, now in 3/4 gallon black pots.
To be safe, they will be planted in the garden, pot and all,next month. In Fall, dug up, bought in the house.
Then, next Spring, I will feel much better about complete
in-ground planting! Just trying to save/protect my first two babies !! Fred
All of our cuttings that rooted during the spring are planted in ground, that coming fall. We have figs that have been in ground from 1 year to 5.
We bend them to the ground and then cover with soil. Bubble insulation, and then leaves. We have never lost any plants to cold.
Our reasoning is that the plants have a chance to send roots deep, while the top is becoming large enough to become cold resistant.
The covering of soil takes advantage of the heat from the ground. The insulation helps do that also. But it also helps keep the soil from becoming to wet. Then the leaves offer extra protection.
It got down to minus 11 degrees Fahrenheit this last winter
It took us about 30 minutes to cover 5 one year old figs, last winter. About 30 minutes each for 2 year olds and five year olds.
Hope that helps.

I know no one with these issues. Are you aggressive with your phones at all? Kinda throw them down on a table instead of laying them down

Had the same thing happen to be - have you tried using the volume button being pressed from different angles? hold the button down hard and direct - I found that to make it come unstuck.

Why? Because Apple products should be 100% free of all defects according to you? Because no other manufacturers offer extended 2-year warranties because every other manufacturer makes 100% perfect products off their assembly lines?
What I'm LOLLING with immense LOL is your lurking.
