Homosexuality and bisexuality also have a biological basis. The use or non-use of physical and complementary differences between man and woman cannot be the basis of regarding homosexuality as abnormal. Celibates generally do not make full use of these differences. They are not regarded as abnormal. > >They (homosexuals) are generally brief, promiscuous, >unfit to receive and raise children, including >adopted ones. > The above statement is contradicted by sociological and psychological evidence. > >There are psycho-evolutionary imbalances in children, >linked to the absence of reference to sexual >bipolarity (cf.the report of the American College of >Pediatricians, "Homosexual Parenting: Is It Time for >Change?"). > The above report is a non-peer-reviewed opinion piece. The opinion contained in it has no evidence to support it. It is contradicted by the peer-reviewed scholarly, evidence-based technical report of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the largest organization of professional pediatricians in the U.S. The title and abstract of this article is as follows: TECHNICAL REPORT: COPARENT OR SECOND-PARENT ADOPTION BY SAME-SEX PARENTS Ellen C. Perrin, MD and Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Health A growing body of scientific literature demonstrates that children who grow up with 1 or 2 gay and/or lesbian parents fare as well in emotional, cognitive, social, and sexual functioning as do children whose parents are heterosexual. Children�s optimal development seems to be influenced more by the nature of the relationships and interactions within the family unit than by the particular structural form it takes.

What simple simulations? Why should simulations be the basis of regarding homosexuality as abnormal? What is the radical truth about Man? What good does this type of convoluted and contrived rationalization do to humanity? Psychological and sociological data contradict the assertion that homosexuality destroys the family.
