The Dems suffer the same issue

So, you admit that you side with a party that will never give you what you claim to want from them and why you side with them.

I side with them because I vote family first

But I'd rather a centrist party not beholden to either the fringe left or right

Right, the Democratic Party gives you and your family financial incentives and bonuses.

It gives my family the right to the same recognition other families have

No more, no less

miau

Privilege, you mean.

Equal recognition

No more, no less

The privilege of equal recognition with a dissimilar situation.

I would disagree with dissimilar. Two consenting adults who wish to support each other and possibly raise the next generation.

Not all hetero marriages have kids. Many same sex ones do.

In your case, the situations are probably not critically different based off the purposes of the laws, no.

RADICAL CENTRISM

"We will introduce others to our moderate ways, *by force*!"

Uh huh

Sigh

@DrYuriMom I got guesses. But at the risk of sounding naive, how to homosexual couples usually get kids?

Many ways. Adoption. Some couples have kids from previous relationships. Lesbians can get pregnant from anonymous donors.

Which do you think is the most common and which did you use?

Sorry if this is kinda personal. I was just curious. If I'm asking too much, just tell me.

I think it's one of those things that some people struggle with when you're talking about homosexual couples and kids. I was hoping maybe to get a bit better insight into how it worked for when I talk with other people.

My children are biological for both of us since when they were concieved I produced viable sperm and my wife produced viable eggs and had a functional uterus. I'm a decade out post-op transwoman. That said I know some lesbians with biological children. Also both gay and lesbian with kids from previous marriage. In some cases the previous spouse is dead or otherwise unable to be a parent anymore.

I believe the teenage pregnancy rate amongst homosexuals is higher than that of heterosexuals.

My brain just exploded

That would be an incredibly impressive figure.

@Joe_Limon this what you were thinking of?

Listen, I don't want to burst anyone's bubble.

But I'm pretty sure pregnancy rates are not rising among the gay youth.

Pretty sure that number has been flatlining since they recorded it.

did it say rising?

Okay, pregnancy is not more common among male homosexuals than...male heterosexuals? Yeah, I'm gonna take a swing and say those numbers are equal.

lmao

to be fair, its 3 different groups

gay, lesbian, and bi vs hetero

Some males have vaginas. And many of those are homosexual

my guess, if those numbers are correct, it would be mainly due to bi's

No, Joe, that statement is oxymoronic.
