Perhaps if you don't believe what I tell you, you'll pay attention to a
marriage analyst. The bottom line is that same-sex marriage is corrupting
America's children.

Marriage Vote in Maine Will Affect Schoolchildren
by Jenny Tyree, marriage analyst
Changing the definition of marriage would render parents powerless to shield
their children from being taught a gay-activist agenda in school.
The people of Maine will get to decide the definition of marriage on
November 3, after marriage was redefined by the state Legislature earlier
this year to include homosexual couples.
The Stand for Marriage Maine campaign has focused on the effects of gay
marriage in public schools. They didn't have to look far for examples, and
they've used them effectively in their ads. In Massachusetts, the gay
marriage law quickly led to a court case involving parents' rights. Rob and
Robin Wirthlin were told by a court that they had lost the right to be
informed when homosexuality was going to be discussed in their son's
second-grade class.
A second example came during an NPR interview with an eighth-grade teacher
in Massachusetts who was pleased to have legal cover for speaking to her
students about homosexuality. "In my mind, I know that, 'OK, this is legal
now.' If somebody wants to challenge me, I'll say, 'Give me a break. It's
legal now,' " she told NPR.
Similar to the Prop. 8 campaign in California last year, state officials in
Maine are jumping on the gay marriage bandwagon. Maine's attorney general,
Janet Mills, has stated that gay marriage will have "no impact on
educational curriculum" in Maine schools.
This is ludicrous, of course. If Question 1 passes, the marriage of one
gay-identified teacher would make it an issue in the classroom. And, just as
in Massachusetts, parents will be powerless to quiet teachers' advocacy of
gay marriage-since it would be state law.
Talk of discrimination and equality disguises what is really at stake: the
role of marriage as our most pro-child institution. Do we still believe it's
important that children are connected, whenever possible, to the mother and
father who together made them? As I've written previously, marriage is not a
legal vehicle for the purpose of equality; it's a social institution with
children at its heart.

How? As long as they are taught to mind their own business, gay marriage
should be about as much of a problem as women's basketball.

"citizenlink", Another in a chain of fine lie rags!
Yes! We got trouble, right here in River City!
Actually, kids should be told to stay away from any sort of relationship,
they're nothing but a form of sickness. Straight, bi, or gay, relationships
lead to nothing but trouble. Divorce, infectious illness, depression,
suicide, crime, every single ill that plagues humans is directly caused by
our relationship with another human.
Relationships, bad. Isolation, good. |

"Affect" does not mean "corrupt." Personally, I agree that it will affect
children -- in a positive way, by opening their minds.

Certainly not to a "marriage analyst" in the employ of Jimmy Dobson's Focus

Sure it will. The real question is why religious people would *choose* to send their
children to places where there are atheists, sinners, gangs, drugs, sex education courses,
and -- <gasp> -- co-ed sports!
Oh. Yeah. Too lazy to homeschool.
"We care about our children, but not enough to take responsibility and educate them
ourselves."
Wah, wah, wah.

What is Tyree's educational background? Has she performed
any actual research? In which peer-reviewed journals may we
find the analyses written by this marriage analyst?

I don't know, I just did a library search on her name and came up with
nothing. Not one citation, not one paper, just nothing at all. |

She's part of that right-wing social conservative anti-sex anti-gay
anti-abortion anti-freedom pro-censorship group "Focus on Family".
Educational background isn't as important as ideological "correctness".
