The desire to parent is equally common in gays and straights.

Unfortunately, gay partnerships are far more prone to substance abuse, domestic violence, destabilizing promiscuity than straight partnerships.

The children of gays are far more likely to be straight than gay. How do those straight offspring learn relationship skills with the opposite sex? Having never observed it themselves growing up? Television?

We can’t legally stop gays from adopting or surrogate reproducing children.

When we grow up in a straight household, we get to see real heroes, our parents, solving problems from a man and woman point of view. Both valid and valuable, but with a different approach.

How do two Moms teach a daughter the value of men? How do two Dads teach a son the value of women?

At least having two parents, gay or straight, are better than say, the divorced Mom and the boyfriend de jure.

We should all take effective and complete parenting more seriously.

In the past it was quite common for children to lose a parent to death while still young. Cruel stepmothers are a staple of tradition (Cinderella, etc.), not that all stepmothers fit the pattern (Lincoln's stepmother did not).

Bay Buchanan was on C-SPAN this morning talking about her new book. Her husband divorced her when she had two boys, ages 4 and 2, and was pregnant with her third son. It sounds like she did a pretty good job raising them. One thing she made a point of was never badmouthing her ex to her children, while encouraging them to maintain a relationship with their father.

I can't see how it can be haalthy for boys to be raised by two homosexual men--they will be surrounded by "gay-is-good" propaganda and even if they aren't abused by one of the men's friends, it seems that they are much likelier to experiment with homosexuality than if they were raised in a regular environment.
