Well, looks like they were wrong!\u00a0 Guess what?\u00a0 You might want to sit down for this, but it turns out that gay parents are really the best parents of all<\/a>!\u00a0\u00a0 Sure, they could miss out on that whole male\/female presence thing, but does that even matter?\u00a0 Not according to our latest incarnation of proven fact.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Not only are homosexuals typically better paid, more intelligent, more caring, better lovers, and more sophisticated than their heterosexual counterparts; not only has persecution of homosexuals been one of the\u00a0driving forces of history, homosexuals are really among the main contributors to all that is good in history, the Holocaust was aimed at homosexuals, Jews, and some other people, and science has proven that if God exists, he put a gene in people that makes being non-heterosexual the same as being black or Asian \u2013 but turns out for twenty to thirty years, we really didn\u2019t hear that kids needed both male and female presences in their lives at all!\u00a0 Where, oh where, did you ever get the feeling anyone ever said that?<\/p>\n

This is why, kiddies, I look at most \u2018scientific\u2019 research, especially that which is clearly biased and agenda driven and willing to manipulate facts and data to drive home a subjective belief, with all the respect that folks used to have for traveling medicine shows<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
