A NEW TYPE OF FAMILY? PROVE IT WORKS FIRST

DR PHILIP G NEY FRCP(C) MA RPSYCH & PAUL MOYNAN 

 

In the political, social, media, and judicial drive to change the definition of marriage, public opinion is being guided by sound bites, talk of equality and a compassion for those they know who have same sex attraction. What too few are doing, is asking ‘Does it work?’ In all the places this has been tried, we should ask if there is any evidence that anyone is happier, lives longer, makes better families, and that it is good for the economy. Because if there is no evidence of benefit from all the countries where it has been tried, why would we want another uncontrolled experiment where innocent people are the unsuspecting, non-consenting Guinea-pigs?
