Homosexual parenting creates homosexuals!

Surprise, surprise...children of same-sex couples are more likely to be homosexual. This finding of researcher Walter Schumm  enrages the homosexul community, but to the average person it's just plain common sense. Children learn what they live. How can a child raised in a same-sex household get the normal view of the complementarity of the sexes. It just ain't very likely! But to gay activists who want to make everyone think their parenting is normal, the truth is inconvenient. Someone might use it to (Horrors!) question the wisdom of homosexual adoption. Here's a section from the Catholic News Agency article:

Schumm, a professor of family studies at Kansas State University, said he rigorously tried to disprove his own theory. Ultimately, he reached a conclusion that mainstream sociologists, and even a prominent gay activist, have described as common sense.

In new research and an analysis of more than two dozen earlier studies, Schumm found that 27 percent of lesbian parents' children identified themselves as homosexual, and 19 percent of the children of gay men; by contrast, 5 to 10 percent of the children of heterosexual parents self-identify as homosexual.

Furthermore, Schumm observed gay parents' children increasingly identifying as homosexual as they emerged from adolescence. His analysis of families with older children showed that one-third of gay fathers' families, and 58 percent of families of lesbian mothers, included at least one gay or lesbian child.

“Most scholars actually agree with the concept that gay people ought to be more likely to have gay children,” he told CNA in an Oct. 19 interview. “Even people on the liberal side of things actually pretty much agree with the idea that there are going to be social influences.”

He noted that prominent gay activist Jim Burroway has criticized proponents of the “parental influence” theory but has also said that such findings would not be surprising. In a column published on a gay and lesbian website in 2006, Burroway noted that virtually every theory about the origin of homosexuality would likely predict a higher incidence in children of gay parents.

Schumm's article is scheduled to be published in the November edition of the Journal of Biosocial Science.
