STUDIES, STUDIES, STUDIES: Arturo Fernandez replies to David Benkof

[Arturo Fernandez lives in Los Angeles, California.]

David Benkof writes: "However, my stance wouldn't change even if 100 studies
showed no differences in children of every family structure--because my beliefs are informed by a traditional Jewish worldview and its attitudes toward families and childrearing. But I want to ask you--would your stance change if 100 studies showed harmful effects in children raised without both a mother and a father?"

My response is: I can only speak for myself, but of course my stance would
change if 100 studies showed that children were being harmed when raised by
same-sex couples. Much less than 100 would do it. However, it is shocking and blatantly bigoted if you wouldn't change your stance if 100 studies showed that there was no harm in children being raised by same-sex couples. It's also very interesting how you switch "difference" for "harm", and "every family structure" for "same-sex" parenting.
