Could somebody please explain? I also don't understand how someone cheating on their spouse will cause more people to cheat on their spouse. FRC makes no logical sense whatsoever! Of course, this isn't news.Woodstocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-59455280730285842672013-04-08T08:41:55.460-07:002013-04-08T08:41:55.460-07:00You demonstrate how they DO NOT matter when it com...You demonstrate how they DO NOT matter when it comes to equal rights by debunking them (because you have to. Those affiliated with FRC will bring them up)and after debunking them, making it your argument to show that if they have to rely on junk science and cherry-picked studies, then their premise about the dangers of marriage equality is false. THEN you present accurate information show how it would actually help the lgbt community and is not harmful to the community at large.BlackTsunamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349560427762283170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-47672727293608791402013-04-08T07:19:22.595-07:002013-04-08T07:19:22.595-07:00As a Cincinnatian, I want to know what I can do to...As a Cincinnatian, I want to know what I can do to fight back. Most Ohioans want gay marriage, and so do I. And this might just be the year.<br /><br />As a social scientist (health economist) who has done research on HIV and other LGBT issues, I'm always wary of directly debunking FRC and others' claims about gay marriage or LGBT people. It's important to avoid giving legitimacy to the underlying premise that any of those things matter when it comes to the question of equal rights. The FRC representation of the research is highly inaccurate, but in my view the unethical way they want to apply that research so as to deny human rights is the overriding concern.Matthew Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254244795963585737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-75034225335446457112013-04-08T07:08:07.168-07:002013-04-08T07:08:07.168-07:00Solo . . . if lbgt couples get married then 's...Solo . . . if lbgt couples get married then 'straight' people will stop having sex and making babies . . . ??<br />"Seems legit"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-86746886330614800222013-04-08T06:35:54.815-07:002013-04-08T06:35:54.815-07:00FRC: “One study … showed that homosexual men … had...FRC: “One study … showed that homosexual men … had an average of eight sexual partners per year. … last[ing] only 1.5 years.”<br /><br />And as you put it: “FRC is citing a study about unmarried casual gay male relationships to criticize marriage equality in general.”<br /><br />To put it even more bluntly, the study intentionally DID NOT INCLUDE monogamous relationships. “Distortion” and “misdirection” are too polite, that’s an out and out malicious LIE of omission.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741631418494590847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-10080068093864787532013-04-08T05:27:51.372-07:002013-04-08T05:27:51.372-07:00pandering to fear and ignorance to an audience tha...pandering to fear and ignorance to an audience that won't research the source of these lies is not surprising...they have no respect for either family or research.

I cringe every time I have to walk past their offices to go to the BMV.
