The reason my parents have never been married is not because they don't want to but because, by law, they couldn't.

I know this has already been addressed by now but...

The statement above from the article is an absolute lie. His 'moms' can marry any man of their choosing who will have them, just like any other woman in the country can.

Secondly, he doesn't have two mom's. He has one mother and one unrelated person who shares the house with them. When he can show me that he has the dna of both his 'moms' I'll agree that he has two moms

How can anyone be a junior honors student and still be so stupid about basic genetics and biology?

Got this in an email today---
"The Republicans should back off and let men marry men; women marry women, and totally legalize abortion. In three generations, there will be NO DEMOCRATS."

I recently Shared a room with this guy for a week and I am pleased to say that he is..... the worlds most pomous *sshole. He is so sheltered form what the world is truly like that he sees only a single view, his and both his mothers. He saw only a single way to deal with any issue and I find it hillarious that an heir to the Eatons fortune is so closed minded

There is more than one story with this mold, andecdotal theme.

We should expect a plethora of such stories.

While this is a toronto story, remember this is only 1/2 of the story!

Even IF these homosexuals marry the non-mother will still NOT BE LEGALLY part of the child's life because, at least in the USA, 27 states prohibit or restrict second parent (just a clean way of saying homosexual sex partner) adoptions. If they are allowed to marry, then the laws preventing recreational sex partner adoptions can be attacked.

IN ADDITION, the ABA model code envisions sex partner adoption DESPITE biological mother or father objections.

This story is pure bunk, this child DOES have a father. He may be unknow but he is out there somewhere. That OTHER woman with his mother is just the woman who plays with her genitals for a satisfaction of fetish.

good point.

It does sound like the wood project is a fact. Since when are students still allowed to work with sharp objects in the PC schools?

His "parents" can't marry because he doesn't have parents, he's just being raised like a pet by a couple of lesbians.

TODAY'S QUEER DAY NEWS

July 25, 2003
Teen glad moms can marry

In April, Matthew Eaton-Kent stood before a Canadian House of Commons committee considering the issue of same-sex marriage and answered questions about his life as the 15-year-old son of a lesbian couple. Three months later, the media hoopla surrounding Ontario and B.C. provincial court rulings on same-sex marriage has mostly focused on happy couples racing to the altar, but less has been said about the kids. Eaton-Kent says he's pleased his mothers can now wed if they choose, but he doesn't think it will affect his life much, or those of other kids in his position. "It only affects them to see their parents happy or not," says Eaton-Kent.

The interesting thing about such a statement - especially our willingness to accept such a statement - is that those who are mentally ill are evaluating their mental state with a flawed machine. It amounts to a ship's navigator looking at the lamp at the top of the mast instead of the stars and saying, "Appears we're right on course."

Eaton-Kent may be fine, but he is not in a position to evaluate it. As a child of an alcoholic, I thought I was fine, I just wanted my mom to stop drinking.

Shalom.
