Homosexual Marriage

Should Texas permit homosexuals to get married?

Some evidence that people are less attached to children to whom they are not biologically related:

1. "Many scholars and social workers who monitor America's families see the abusive-boyfriend syndrome as part of a broader, deeply worrisome trend. They note an ever-increasing share of America's children grow up in homes without both biological parents, and say the risk of child abuse is markedly higher in the nontraditional family structures." (Children at higher risk in nontraditional homes, MSNBC, November 18, 2007)

2. "A Duke University official has been charged in federal court with offering his 5-year-old adopted son up for sex. Frank Lombard, associate director of the Center for Health Policy, was arrested Wednesday in Raleigh, the FBI said." (Duke U. Official Caught in Alleged Child Sex Sting, abcnews, June 26, 2009)

. "Once there was a widower who for his second wife, married a proud and haughty woman. She had two daughters, who were equally vain. By his first wife, he had a beautiful young daughter who was a girl of unparalleled goodness and sweet temper. The Stepmother and her daughters forced the first daughter to complete all the housework. When the girl had done her work, she sat in the cinders, which caused her to be called "Cinderella". The poor girl bore it patiently, but she dared not tell her father, who would have scolded her; his wife controlled him entirely." ("Cinderella," wikipedia)
