I Knew That

From Mark Morford's column in today's San Francisco Chronicle:
27) Gay couples are just as committed in their relationships as anyone else, and are often more satisifed. I know, big shock. Will these two new studies matter a whit to the right-wing homophobes who ignore all such studies, including those that have proven, say, that the adopted kids of gay couples turn out just fine, or that married gays don't actually cause riots, floods, or Ebola virus outbreaks? Of course not. No matter. Still good fuel for the fight.

The right-wingers are too busy blaming gay people for the staph infection outbreak to think about facts right now.

Will these two new studies matter a whit?

No, and neither do the studies that show "abstinence only" sex education doesn't work. It's interesting than in a supposedly Catholic country like Spain, you don't have the same percentage of homophobes. And yes, the gay marriage law here allows for adoption, just like for hetero folks.
