studies can be flawed, and you, nor I were there, thats a legit concern and you know it and past flawed research proves it. The complaint was you can't know for certain if those studies are flawed or not, again specifically that is legit, again pretend all you want because its the crutch to your argument

that's because a lot of science is based on probability instead of "facts".
just because 9 time out of 10 I fart on sundays doesn't mean I always fart on sundays

unless you're trying to say a system that lets bad studies through from time to time can be fully trusted, is that what you're saying?

No but the odds are that on any given Sunday you will fart. The odds are also strong that you will post something stupid on any given Sunday even though you don't always post something stupid on Sunday

but i didn't i said they could be true or false, i was indifferent to them, but i guess if you consider that writing them off then i guess thats what i did. i don't have time to read long studies and don't have time to actually be there to see them done either. Its mainly because its so subjective in what they are trying to study, i just feel like it could never be very scientific in their findings. Its not like studying gravity or something. they have a hard enough time with rats in a cage they can watch and see all the interactions with, so when they are studying a household, there's just so many dam variables that i know would get left out. You can't take them all into account its just not possible.

I was able to resist all that, and I'm pretty sure if my parents tried to get me to suck a dick I would just not do it either.

THey don't study the household, They check up and interview the children. They evaluate them on how their life has been progressing pretty much.
The whole point of this thread is saying that ignorance wins over facts when people are scared or just don't want to accept it and hold on to their ignorance.
The reality is, the person who raises the kids matters, not whether or not they are gay. I'd let my imaginary kid stay with a gay person. I wouldn't if that same gay person was a child molester. Just like I wouldn't leave my kid with any child molester. It's the person, not their sexual preference that decides who they are or what they are suddenly capable of.

See, this is where you are wrong supachopped. Kids copy their parents. If a kid sees their parents smoking everyday, theres a damn good chance he will do it as well. If a kid sees gay parents doing gay stuff everyday, same thing. Your analogy doesn't work because the things you mentioned are not daily things the children will see a lot.
Theres a big difference between a parent telling you to eat your vegetables than 2 gay people having sex and the child hears it happening a lot of nights. Its just the whole vibe the parents give off is what inspires children to be the same way.
