Fallacious and Cogent reasoning #2
                         Gay Marriage ruling overturned in Utah

Just read a post on St  George News.  I must say that I have mixed emotions about the subject.  I'm not against Gay Marriage; if two people want to get married because they love one another then so be it. This concept is fine and again I don't really care if gay or lesbians are allowed civil unions.  However some of the claims from the people attending the rally at Vernon Worthin Park on Monday in my opinion made fallacious claims.  A man by the name of George Stoddard spoke in support of his granddaughter in law who is openly gay.  His granddaughter in law and her partner have adopted two children and he was quoted to say that this was good for the two adopted grandchildren.  My question is; in what way is this good for the children?  I think that in these same sex homes the adopted children will have a stronger chance of being gender confused or be persuaded to themselves live the gay or lesbian life style.  They will certainly grow up in a non discriminatory environment.  I don't doubt that the kids will not be loved or well taken care of.  In fact most gay or lesbian couples are very educated, successful, and make good money.  However I do have reservations about gay and lesbian couples adopting.   Just wanted to get the conversation going and see what everyone else thinks.   Thoughts?
