You failed to grasp the fact that in both the possible outcomes on each the straight being suffered the gay cannot win if the gay is over persistent |
Ah, now here we see the logical fallacy of the False Dilemma turning up once again. You present two options as if they are the *only* possible outcomes, but that's by no means the case.
Also in a previous message I asked what you would do if it was a *woman* that was being overly persistant, but you didn't answer, so let me ask you again, what would you do in that situation??

So you never had stories read to you as a young child, ones that would conflict with the lifestyle the child is being brought up in if gay adoption went ahead. And you dont in any way consider the child would suffer somemajor confusion issues there too ?

You mean stories that traditionally end "and they got married and lived happily ever after"? (Which, BTW, is the probably one of the biggest and most long running lies ever told to children!!)
But what of it? Are those "major confusion issues" that you appear to be so concerned about *really* going to warp a child's development, let alone their sexual development? I don't think so.
And there's books out there like "Heather has two mommies" which are designed to teach children that other forms of emotional attachment are just as "natural" as heterosexuality. What they *don't* try to do is to convince the child that it's the *only* way.
When children ask questions, just tell them the truth. It tends to work.
