Did they even check the data on committed same-sex couples and their mental health compared to single gay people? Have such studies been done? And the logic takes some leaps: do they not see that increased "work ethic" is not some magical outgrowth of a magical institution but a very understandable psychological byproduct of carrying permanent financial responsibility for others? ...sounds really thoughtless and biased the way it was phrased in that article.Original Mohomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887614143300677214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-36812029066048379292010-02-17T23:08:18.921-07:002010-02-17T23:08:18.921-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765524620705643823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-17749124805237139302010-02-17T22:52:32.710-07:002010-02-17T22:52:32.710-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-29223036008235799112010-02-17T22:09:53.098-07:002010-02-17T22:09:53.098-07:00I agree with your analysis whole-heartedly.

A special interest group wanting to maintain special rights? They saying "We're a group and we don't want you to be part of it."BigRedHammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09525232250776614478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972661907029038524.post-51678748430908039052010-02-17T20:45:12.501-07:002010-02-17T20:45:12.501-07:00Seems like a great article ~ with the provisions f...Seems like a great article ~ with the provisions for rational thought that you outlined. Maybe that's a bit harsh, but I don't understand it--marriage is wonderful and beneficial, therefore we must exclude?!
