For those who believe that same-sex “marriage” is just as good as traditional marriage for the raising up of healthy, well-rounded, emotionally stable children, Out From Under:The Impact of Homosexual Parenting will prove to be an enlightening read. Author Dawn Stefanowicz was raised by a homosexual father who, despite attempting to maintain the appearance of monogamy, “continued cruising for anonymous sex” and “lived with depression, control issues, anger outbursts, suicidal tendencies, and sexual compulsions.” As a result of first-hand experience living under a permutation, Dawn is a strong advocate for marriage between one man and one woman.
“Not only do children do best with both a mother and a father in a lifelong marriage bond, children need responsible monogamous parents who have no extramarital sexual partners. Parental promiscuity, abuse and divorce are not good for children. If same-sex marriage is legalized, a person, couple or group who practice any form of sexual behavior would eventually be able to obtain children through previous heterosexual relationships, new reproductive technologies, and adoption due to the undefined term sexual orientation. This would force all public and private adoption agencies to hand over children into experimental relationships or risk charges of discrimination.”Exposure to a plethora of pernicious elements that often plague the homosexual lifestyle left Dawn feeling “outraged at the incidences of same-sex domestic abuse, sexual advances toward minors, and loss of sexual partners as if people were only commodities.”
“From a young age, I was exposed to explicit sexual speech, self-indulgent lifestyles, varied GLBT subcultures and gay vacation spots. Sex looked gratuitous to me as a child. I was exposed to all inclusive manifestations of sexuality including bathhouse sex, cross-dressing, sodomy, pornography, gay nudity, lesbianism, bisexuality, minor recruitment, voyeurism and exhibitionism. Sado-masochism was alluded to and aspects demonstrated. Alcohol and drugs were often contributing factors to lower inhibitions in my father's relationships.”Dawn now champions traditional marriage in a big way. She recognizes and abhors the soul and spirit-rending of the innocent children who are subject to “a” relationship defined from a desire for special recognition of sexual orientation.
“I believe same-sex marriage will dispose of unique values esteemed within marriage as recognized throughout history. Marriage needs to remain a societal foundation that constitutes, represents, and defends the inherently procreative relationship between the husband and the wife for the welfare of their biological children. Children need consistent appropriate boundaries and secure expressions of emotional intimacy that are not sexualized in the home and community.” [emphasis added]

ReplyDeleteOutstanding find… Antidotal evidence that is this complete with an advocate this intimately associated with the phenomena is indispensable.
We can help each other in this fight and you have helped me by pointing out this resource.
The following is a recent post of mine on this subject… It could prove to be useful.
http://opine-editorials.blogspot.com/2008/12/issue-of-same-sex-childrearing.html
From a scientific perspective we have two phenomena.
#1. A rigorous and well documented scientific consensus that the natural married family is by far superior to all other family forms that have been studied.
#2. A politicized, rarely studied, poorly studied –same-sex “marriage” and parenting “scientific” literature that is (a) tainted and politicized. (b) In its infancy so that serious social scientists claim (rightly) that no solid conclusions can be formed.
I have plenty on #1. & #2.. if you ever need to be pointed in that direction. (also look in Opines achieves)
Points 1 and 2 sum it up well thanks Fitz.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Fitz, though the find was Secular Heretic's as noted by Pearl. Your summary of the important contribution this woman makes to the defense of marriage and family is quite astute, and we appreciate you sharing your research finds with us. While opinion is valid and necessary, good research with sound conclusions is imperative for the success of marriage and family protection. If anyone would like a quick link to Fitz's post, just click here: The Issue of Same-Sex Childrearing.
