Andy Said:

So, for those who site these statistics as evidence that being gay is against God...?

We Answered:

Interesting article.

I already knew most of this through common sense though, but it's a pity that some parents of gay youth or anti-gay groups (for example, Prop 8 supporters) don't realise this as clearly as others do and understand that their negative actions and attitudes towards homosexuality often only make the situation worse.

Aaron Said:

Do you think these parents should go to jail and have their other children removed from their care?

We Answered:

I ran into a bizzarre website last year run by this guy who espoused, among other things, that our culture is fundamentally flawed in treating a child as property of the parent(s).

Situations like these make me wonder if perhaps he's on to something there.

Wicked is right, children don't get to choose their parents. Society has an obligation to rescue those who are unfortunate enough to be born to people who are unable to provide the most basic needs... whether the problem is crack addiction or medical neglect due to religious belief shouldn't confuse the issue.
