To say acceptance of this choice and belief system devolves society sure seems slanderous to me.
If you had a better understanding of the dynamics of opposite sex marriage/parents and the social and emotional development of male and female children you might understand why I have my opinion. Maybe you do. Having been a father for 27 years I have first hand insight on parenting and the idiosyncrasies of influence on my children's development socially and emotionally.
Who will model the (positive and negative) male character traits that a daughter should aspire to find (or avoid) in a male partner when she is of age. Who will model to her how a man treats a woman when it comes time to accept such treatment (or lack thereof) from a male? Will it be adequate with same sex marriage/parents?
Who will model the same for a young male?
Boys learn how to treat their gf/wives (good or bad) by the model their fathers portray to their mothers.
Girls learn how to expect to be treated by their bf/husband by the model their fathers portray to their mothers.
Reverse and insert each gender in each scenario. There are a billion scenarios of the significance of a two gender marriage/parent home influence and how its absence will alter the emotional and social development of children and future adults.
The most significant influence on the male (and African American in particular) criminal/incarceration rate in the country is the absence of a father in a home. This is not to minimize the influence of the mother. Her absence is a significant influence as well.
The ramifications of the perversion of the roles will alter the development of our children, future adults, and our future as a society and our species as we continue to tolerate and/or accept anything at the cost of individual "happiness".
What you live you learn, what you learn you practice, what you practice you become, what you become has consequences.
Notice I never used negative or derogatory or judgmental terms? This isn't entirely about my faith, my values or my morals.
"In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state."
Thirty years from now remember we had this discussion.
