Part of the Iona Institute’s submission on marriage to the Constitutional Convention.

This is the Iona Institute’s submission to the Constitutional Convention – when marriage was being discussed.On pages 3 and 4 it quotes a report called “Marriage from a Child’s Perspective: How Does Family Structure Affect Children, and What Can We Do about It?” published by an American organisation called Child Trends. However…
…This is the report itself – the report upon which the Iona Institute has based its anti-marriage equality arguments. When you open it, it’s kind of hard to ignore the NOTE in big blue letters (above)…Presumably, the Iona Institute would like us all to do that just that – ignore it….?
Anyone?

…And we have how many weeks before the obvious YES to marriage referendum? Help us.
It’s not obvious at all. (The victory I mean, not the choice.)
The No side know that can’t win debating marraige equality as there is no reason to deny same sex couples marriage. The only way they can win is to muddy the water and hopefully confuse people enough to make them hesitant. They have 4 months to create as much confusion as possible.
They should get OneDub on the case
This.
It’s all about confusion at this point from the ‘no’ side.
Please stop giving this dopes attention
*these!
see now, you’re confusing the issue!!!
Funny how actual studies tend to find that kids with gay parents do at least as well as those with heterosexual parents. Also tend to find that the biggest issue for such families is dealing with the intolerance and bullpoo of bigots.

Only for them
Would there even be a campaign?
So its “Social Sciences” now is it?
In fairness, its a bit classier than God Hates ****.
yep, and isn’t it great the ‘social sciences’ agree on everything and think in one big homogeneous block?
It’s defamatory to insinuate that all social scientists are gay. Referring to a study by Dr Freud which has nothing to do with the issue, you’re bullying the rights of the child campaign.
Do you like hitting children in the face, is that what you’re in favor of proposing?
If you don’t want all this to change forever, with no way back. I urge a no vote. You don’t have to hate gays to think they’re different.
(but it helps)
Make the lie simple, big and repeat it often.
