Pope Benedict called gay marriage a threat "to the future of humanity itself," citing the need for children to have heterosexual homes.
But research on families headed by gays and lesbians doesn't back up these dire assertions. In fact, in some ways, gay parents may bring talents to the table that straight parents don't.
Gay parents "tend to be more motivated, more committed than heterosexual parents on average, because they chose to be parents," said Abbie Goldberg, a psychologist at Clark University in Massachusetts who researches gay and lesbian parenting. Gays and lesbians rarely become parents by accident, compared with an almost 50 percent accidental pregnancy rate among heterosexuals, Goldberg said. "That translates to greater commitment on average and more involvement."

After seeing the bureaucracy that several of my gay friends have had to go through to even foster, I can believe this 100%. Any unwed, meth addicted, teen girl can pop out a slew of kids and social services runs to their aid yet many eager, loving, financially stable homosexuals are lumped into a pedophile category by ignorant politicians and religious leaders. The foster process is difficult enough to go through but there seems to be added red tape for gay couples not to mention the aforementioned stupidity by ignorant bigots.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.
