Religion can have an influence over how people perceive their news, regardless of the facts they are provided with. My post is not to put any particular group nor religion down in anyway. My post is about how religion can have an influence over how people perceive their news, regardless of the facts they are provided with.
Yay for Brain Power!
The problem is, as people we are ignoring issues such as kids growing up in the system because of personal beliefs. What about the kids who just want a family? According to The Washington Post children who are raised by same gender couples do better in school. This fact is not to put down different gender couples, it is to talk about the bias people have set about same gender parents and their capabilities.
Let's Tac-o 'Bout it!
According to A.A.M.F.T the children who are raised by same gender parents are better at communicating their feelings. Both types of couples are equally as good at raising a child. Same gender couples struggle explaining to others their family dynamic so some seek therapy to help. Both sets of couples love their children.
Where does Religion come in to play?
According to Homosexuality and Religion "Multivariate analyses of the 2012 General Social Survey—a nationally representative sample of adults in the United States—reveal that a slim majority of Americans still do not believe same-sex couples can parent as well as male-female couples, and the religious beliefs, behaviors, and affiliations of Americans are significantly and at times differentially associated with appraisals of same-sex couples’ parenting abilities. It appears that although religion is generally associated with more negative appraisals of the parenting abilities of same-sex couples, it is not uniformly so."
People believe if you are a true Christian that you are against these types of families. The facts show that not every child has a loving family to come home to. I have heard many different stories about children not having a secure and happy home. I would much rather let a child have a loving secure home with a same gender couple than not having a family. We should all embrace our differences even if it means our family dynamic is a tad different.
Same Gender Couple Challenges
Every family/couple face struggles in their lives together. Imagine finding a great person deciding to expand your loving family and being unable to do so without a tad bit of help. According to NBC News “I just want to enjoy my family and my children"
According to Motherly "Studies confirm kids raised in lesbian and gay families grow up to be just fine, and basically the same as people who were raise in heteronormative households in heteronormative households will only better the child long term." People believe the child will be negatively affected by being raised by a different dynamic family .but the facts show it
Bias Associated with Same Gender Couples and God
According to Live Science "On Jan. 6, Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum told a New Hampshire audience that children are better off with a father in prison than being raised in a home with lesbian parents and no father at all. And last Monday (Jan. 9), Pope Benedict called gay marriage a threat "to the future of humanity itself," citing the need for children to have heterosexual homes." Do we see the problem now? Religious figures are stating that they would rather have a child grow up with a single parent than a married same gender couple. They are loving people just like anyone else. Why would we consider the idea that a child should grow up and try to figure out this crazy world we all live in with one parent (or no parents if they're in the system). This is the problem with our society. Giving a child a chance to have a happy life should be more important than anyone's pride. From a religious standpoint we are not handed something we cannot handle. According to Bible Gateway Corinthians 10:13 ..." He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond that which ye are able to bear, but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." The bible says he will always give us a way to "escape". The child who is an orphan, or with an abusive family, or the ones who bounce back and forth thru the system who are constantly scarred emotionally and mentally should have their "escape" with a same sex couple that will love them unconditionally.
