I am so ticked off by a letter in the Woodstock Sentinel (Ontario, Canada) written by a woman named C. Gwendolyn Landolt who is VP of a "family" organization in Canada, that I want to compose a really scathing letter to correct some of her more blatant generalizations re Gay Marriage. I'm very pregnant right now so can't get out to do research, so I'm counting on you to help me discredit her "logic."
"Facts" in her letter include:
Gays don't believe in monogamy;
Average gay union lasts ony two years;
Same sex partners experience a higher rate of health problems & have shorter lifespans;
Being raised by two same-sex parents has a detrimental effect on children;
And, perhaps most absurd - since the Netherlands legalized gay marriage in 1997, their out-of-wedlock birthrate has increased by more than 2% per year. (How she blames this on gay marriage is not clear.) For more details contact me at lacticrat@yahoo.com. Thank you all!
