Thank you Chewie ! [img]smile.gif[/img] I was hoping we could go on discuss this topic based on scientific researches instead of on personal and cultural bias. I found this article very interesting because it provides a comprehensive summary of the researches by different areas of science, and because it provides insights into other cultures' views of homosexuality.

An interesting question comes to mind, can a person suspend their own personal and cultural bias on the topic in light of objective reasonable scientific research?
Through-out the 300+ posts on this topic I have injected the testimony of a sociologist, a web-based history of marriage, and a dictionary definition of the word marriage. I also brought up the legal issues with regards to the U.S. constitution as far as seperation of church/state and equal protection goes.
In reply, I have not seen *{edit}very much* like data or discourse from those on the otherside of the debate. This makes me wonder if scientific objectivity and reason is, in part or whole, lost to personal and cultural bias with regards to this issue.
I will wait and see what kind of replies the article you posted recieves, if any at all.
