It is unnatural and the kid will be confused. this is what I was saying why gays should not be allowed to be married, it makes the devfiant lifestyle acceptable and will increase the spread of AIDS and moral decay. gays make me sick.
It was Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. Gays are unnatural and disgusting. Keep em in the closet.

Originally posted by BrooklynBomber View PostI think in this case the right definition would be
Main Entry: 1ef·fect
Pronunciation: \i-ˈfekt, e-, ē-, ə-\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French, from Latin effectus, from efficere to bring about, from ex- + facere to make, do — more at do
Date: 14th century
1 a: purport , intent b: basic meaning : essence
2: something that inevitably follows an antecedent (as a cause or agent)
3: an outward sign : appearance
4: accomplishment , fulfillment
5: power to bring about a result : influence
thus "effect" is more appropriate. Affect does not really make sense in the context.
Affect is to influence, effect is to do something for certain. The last definition I posted cleared it up.
In this case affect is right.

• verb 1 make a difference to; have an effect on. 2 touch the feelings of.
— DERIVATIVES affecting adjective.
— USAGE Affect and effect are frequently confused. Affect is primarily a verb meaning ‘make a difference to’, as in the changes will affect everyone. Effect is used both as a noun meaning ‘a result’ (e.g. the substance has a pain-killing effect) and as a verb meaning ‘bring about (a result)’, as in she effected a cost-cutting exercise.
— ORIGIN Latin afficere ‘affect’.
I learned this during GCSE science, and I now do A level English litertature, I'm quite sure I'm correct.
And yes this is now a dictionary war!
