Gay activists insist that all these problems are caused by society's negative attitudes, but the problems are just as prevalent in extremely tolerant countries, such as the Netherlands and New Zealand.(10). 5) “Gay marriage” should not be treated as a beneficial social structure. In addition to being non-procreative, homosexual relationships, unlike marriage relationships, are characterized by instability / promiscuity rather than stability / fidelity. Promoters of "gay marriage" claim that same-sex relationships are just like marriages and therefore deserve all the benefits of marriage, but research shows -- and activists admit -- that it is unrealistic to expect male couples to be faithful.(11) 6) Homosexual couples should not adopt children. Studies used to “prove” there are no differences between children raised by same-sex couples and those raised by their biological married mother and father are, virtually without exception, internally and externally invalid.(12) In many cases the authors have misreported their own findings. Given the extensive literature on the damage done to children through father or mother absence, it is deceitful to suggest that purposely and premeditatedly depriving a child of a mother or a father will not have consequences for that child.(13) The material above is adapted from an article titled Facts, not flattery, about same-sex attraction, published at www.narth.com, and signed by the following physicians, therapists and researchers: Dean Byrd, PhD, President elect of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH); Michelle A.
