Discussion of religion in the context of LGBTQ+ rights is only allowed in the LGBTQ+ Rights and Religion Thread
.
Discussion of religion in any other context is off topic in all of the "LGBTQ+ rights..." threads.
Attempting to bait others into bringing up religion is also not allowed.

Share it so that people can get into this conversation, 'cause we're not the only ones who think like this.Yet another study (and middle finger to Regnerus) showing that same-sex couples are no worse than heterosexual couples when it comes to raining children
, this one apparently the biggest to date.
Posted in this thread because the study is Australian.
The link is in Portuguese
, but I'll translate the main bit for you all: The proposal of co-adoption by same sex couples got 112 votes against and 107 votes in favor in the Parliament, in terms of its articles, so there wasn't even a global final voting session.
I feel ashamed for my country today.
When first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again.

Everything is Possible. But some things are more Probable than others. JEBAGEDDON 2016Press tycoon Rupert Murdoch attacks gay groups for ‘bullying’.
That's the pot calling the wooden spoon black.

As for Murdoch, my personal favourite in such instances is "the coal rack calling the paper black".

Schild und Schwert der ParteiWe do have a both a Gay Marriage in Britain thread and a Religious thread (which seems appropriate and this is about one church).
Also I'd like to note that we have a ton of LGBT rights threads.

At the very least, somebody in Uganda is going to very quickly be saying something stupid about it. I've already set my stopwatch. (I'm just hoping they'll stick to saying... -_-)

Fairly sure Scotland doesn't get to make such a decision unilaterally, since Westminster controls things like immigration and asylum laws, and UKIP will throw a temper tantrum and start chucking their toys about if William Hague even considers it, but it's still an awesome thing for us to do.
