u made this thread and have been arguing in it for 12 pages straight, if you can't be assed to spend more than 60 seconds looking for something to support ur bs why are u still posting?

o wait it's because there isn't anything that actually supports ur argument right

The annual divorce rate of same-sex couples in the US is actually LOWER than hetereosexual couples: http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/research/census-lgbt-demographics-studies/relationship-data-2014/ (1.1% to 2.0%)

As far as the other "concern" that conservatives raise about same-sex couples, how children of same-sex couples fair, 78 studies have been conducted on the topic of if having same-sex parents effects a child's well being. 74 of those studies concluded that children of same-sex couples were no worse off than children of heterosexual couples. The 4 studies that did say there was some negative impact? Here's what an article published by the Colombia Law School has to say on those four articles: " We identified four studies concluding that children of gay or lesbian parents face added disadvantages. Since all four took their samples from children who endured family break-ups, a cohort known to face added risks, these studies have been criticized by many scholars as unreliable assessments of the wellbeing of LGB-headed households. Taken together, this research forms an overwhelming scholarly consensus, based on over three decades of peer-reviewed research, that having a gay or lesbian parent does not harm children." http://whatweknow.law.columbia.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-wellbeing-of-children-with-gay-or-lesbian-parents/

So yeah, you're just making shit up. If anything homosexual marriages are more successful.

I actually read an interview with the author of that Swedish study that has been linked multiple times in this thread now. You can find it here: http://www.transadvocate.com/fact-check-study-shows-transition-makes-trans-people-suicidal_n_15483.htm

Somewhere along the way someone misrepresented the findings in that study to support their own bigoted views and now it's commonly cited to support views it does not support at all. As far as how it has been misused in this thread, here is a quote from an author of that study herself in regards to her study being used to claim that sex-reassignment increases a transgender person's likelihood to commit suicide:

"Dhejne: The aim of trans medical interventions is to bring a trans person’s body more inline with their gender identity, resulting in the measurable diminishment of their gender dysphoria. However trans people as a group also experience significant social oppression in the form of bullying, abuse, rape and hate crimes. Medical transition alone won’t resolve the effects of crushing social oppression: social anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress.

What we’ve found is that treatment models which ignore the effect of cultural oppression and outright hate aren’t enough. We need to understand that our treatment models must be responsive to not only gender dysphoria, but the effects of anti-trans hate as well. That’s what improved care means."

When I saw "Remember girl b4nny?..." on the sidebar I was hoping it was an update on her and she started playing tf2 or something like that...

Everyone on this team is super chill and has a lot of potential, no reason not to try out for them.

An extremely good scout combo and yipyapper is a solid demo, definitely could do well in IM with the right pickups.

Solid team, tryout for them!

Actually insane at pocket, really should be on an IM team looking to get into playoffs for pocket. Seems pretty solid at scout too but I haven't seen much of it.

Tino's a really dedicated player who's very easy to play with. He's always very chill and willing to work with his team. I definitely recommend trying him out!

Actually really damn good at roamer and seems very dedicated to improving at soldier and 6's in general. Pick him up.

Our team is looking to continue playing together in the next season of IM. We really enjoyed our previous season together and improved a lot over the course of it and now we’re hoping to have an even stronger second season. We're very serious about improving and scrim Sunday to Thursday, as well as do team demo and map reviews. Our current roster is:

Scout - Scruff McGruff
Scout - whymeo
Roamer - kairu
Pocket - rage
Demo - whisker
Medic - erynn

We’re only looking for players with previous IM or high-open experience. If you’re interested in trying out please add erynn here http://steamcommunity.com/id/erynn/

Good medic who's very dedicated to improving. Also a chill person.

I love fuzion

tLAR is already at a high-open level despite having only recently started competitive. Ridiculously good scout that's only going to get better.
