I was discussing with a liberal very close to me. I said one mother and one father is best for a child. She said what's important for the child is love. I said OK, but still we need for most children to have optimal upbringing. She said she didn't know what studies show about two same-sex parents (italics mine). I asked, "What does your gut tell you?"
You have me at a disadvantage here, or perhaps you're confusing me with somebody else, or perhaps I'm just too darn busy to remember, but I'm not that familiar with your posts.
Did you receive an answer to your "gut" question from your liberal acquaintance?
