According to the Sacramento Business Journal, about one million Californians are addicted to gambling – or approximately 3.3 percent of all California residents between the ages of 15 and 84. Imagine filling San Francisco’s Candlestick Park  14 times to capacity – that’s the number of people in California who are addicted to gambling. More than [...]

My colleague, Glenn Stanton, uses Judge Walker’s conclusions and Jennifer Aniston’s comments supportive of fatherlessness to weigh in on the scanty gay parenting research. He covers the gay parenting studies to date, the overwhelming evidence for the mother-father family structure, and research that demonstrates the ways a mother and father contribute uniquely to parenting their child.  The bottom line? Husbands and wives [...]

Owners of the sexually oriented business filed their complaint, Ocello [...]
