You made some great points, Karen. And I can tell you what they're doing about teen pregnancy........ teaching abstinence and taking away contraception as a form of sex ed.While abstinence is all well and good, it's really not that practical today.
I have 2 female friends that have been together for 38 years! How many 'straight' couples make it that long? With a divroce rate of over 50%, not many. It has been my observation that when a same sex couple get into a relationship they plan to be long term, they do what they can to make it work. I know more same sex couples in loving, committed relationships than I do straights. Mind you, I mean no disrespect to those that don't "choose" (haha!) my lifestyle. I think it's just that we have to work so hard at other things, that we almost want to set an example, to prove that not all gays jump from one person to another, that we are capable of raising wonderful, well-adjusted kids, and that we are no different than anyone else.
What almost makes me laugh are the people who act like we're a cult... out to convert children and teens. LoL (Meetings are held at my place every monday, @9pm... new victims, i mean MEMBERS, always welcome! muahahahahaha!)
