Um, duh. Percentage of kids with gay parents who were unplanned or unwanted = ZERO.

Spicuglia—who is working on a book—says, “My hope is that we can take gender out of the expectations around parenting. Half of marriages end in divorce, marriages produce kids and noncustodial parents are a natural byproduct of this process—the fact that this stigma persists is archaic. It’s not good for kids, parents, and doesn’t reflect the society we’re living in.”

Indeed it doesn’t—parenting and family today look very different from what they looked like thirty years ago. The traditional nuclear family—straight, married, and with biological children gotten the old-fashioned way—is becoming a thing of the past. And it’s time for American culture and politics to catch up.

…

In the longest-running study of lesbian families to date, zero percent of children reported physical or sexual abuse—not a one. In the general population, 26 percent of children report physical abuse and 8.3 percent report sexual abuse.

Okay, this really burns my buns, and I only had to get as far as, “Um, duh. Percentage of kids with gay parents who were unplanned or unwanted = ZERO.” to feel weird about this whole post.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that statement alone is inaccurate, because I know some queery-homo types who do/did have babies and children who were unplanned or unwanted.

But this fucking ‘study’ again, talmabout zero percent of children in lesbian families reported abuse: HOW MANY PEOPLE AND FAMILIES WERE INVOLVED IN THIS STUDY BECAUSE FUCK YOU IF THAT ISN’T A PACK OF LIES.

I know there are people out there who identify as queer/gay/whatever who are abusive as fuck and should never be allowed around children and fuck this misleading bullshit.

This is not the way to go about proving that humans are deserving of respect for their humanity.  One should not have to mislead others to prove that point.
