A wedding magazine in America which initially refused to carry a lesbian marriage ad, has backed down under pressure.
Although the owners have no objection to same-sex marriage, they initially rejected the ad because it is a controversial issue for their readers.
But following an internet campaign against the magazine, the owners have backed down.
The publishers of the magazine wrote: “Honestly, we knew that everyone would not share our belief that all people have the right to marry. The issue is very sensitive and it is also very divided.

Yes, gender distinction is rapidly degenerating between both males and females. What I find troubling is that this new normal is being passed on to and taught to the children from the youngest of ages. Boys being taught it's normal to play with dolls, easy bake ovens now being made for boys, children being raised within gay households, etc. In the latter, it would seem to me that that poor children won't have much of a chance after being raised within that lifestyle because it will be so ingrained within them as being acceptable.
These were just the ones I could find ad hoc. There are more. Eg OKCupid dating site found similar results when surveying data from profiles and messaging of over quarter of million users. 1 in 3 straight women involved in same-sex behaviour, high rates of bisexuality and lesbianism among females. If anything data tends to be suppressed rather than exaggerated because of the shocking results. No doubt in my mind the world is lurching towards Sodom and Gomorrah and females are leading the charge. I do find it sad, disturbing and alarming because the special relationship between a man and woman is being frankly trashed. More women are simply loosing any sense of gender distinction. Sign of the times. Thanks.
1. Anecdotally, it does not surprise me that long term lesbian unions may out number the long term unions of gay men who are more notoriously promiscuous. 2. Time Out survey - Knowing their audience, the high numbers do not surprise me particularly the way they phrased their question. I do not regard that as independent, nor do I regard it as a study. 3. The Daily Mail reference needs to have the source research identified. I do not believe that it will have data to support its hypothesis that teenage pregnancies are falling due to an explosion of lesbianism. That is pure speculation. 4. Psychology Today - needs more info, perhaps I will look it up when I have the time. Just because it is published does not make it valid, not even if it is peer reviewed. Orthodox Psychology these days rejects biblical norms so I would not necessarily expect a study to be well informed or well argued. 5. National Centre - as above, needs more info. 3x more likely to identify than what? I do not believe for a moment that women are 3x more likely to identify as bisexual than heterosexual. Is that what you are referencing?
Thanks again, I appreciate you taking the trouble to respond.

Time Out survey of London of 10,000 people last month. 23% of men have had or would consider a same-sex experience. For women it was 60%. National Survey of Family Growth: see Daily Mail article "Sexual Activity Between Teenage Girls Higher Than Ever Before Claims New Research". According to this Teen pregnancies are actually falling because more and more girls are preferring sex with girls and not boys. Psychology Today. Leonard Sax MD, PHD.

I am already aware of fraudulent studies used as the basis for "1 in 10" statistics and consequent propaganda.
Please provide your sources for credible "independent studies" from a "variety of sources."
I have no intention of checking dating sites. I am well aware that lesbianism and homosexuality exists - the Bible tells me so. By the grace of God, my head is stuck in the Bible, not worldly propaganda.
The world's propaganda is more akin to sand. Friend, please consider where you have stuck your head.

Cameron is a disgrace wrote: Even if any of your speculation were true, NONE of it is a valid reason to oppose same-sex marriages. The Bible's teaching 1. on the nature of marriage as the union of a man and a woman, and 2. on the sinful nature of lesbian and homosexual behaviour are the objective truths that deny the possibility of this abomination of same sex marriages. And our relativistic, postmodern world can look to the universal testimony of history in all nations and all cultures if they want their "scientific" analysis instead.

Watch the lesbian weddings soar in relation to gay weddings. It's already happening. How long before 1 in 10 weddings are lesbian? 1 in 5? 1 in 4? Not as far-fetched as you might think. There will be a generation of young men facing a lonely and desolate future with nobody to come home to after work. Nothing to get up for in the morning. Already 1 in 3 30 year old men still live with their parents. Tragic.
