Have you thought about what this argument – “children need both parents” says to all those single parents, like my son, whose wife left him and their baby? It makes him feel like he’s a failure and he’s doomed. Instead, our grandson is being raised by his father AND his grandparents AND his aunts and uncles. He’s got plenty of good role models in his life. My son’s wife didn’t leave him because the definition of marriage was in jeopardy of being redefined – she left him because she was suffering from post-partum depression and they didn’t have health care that would pay for regular counseling.

Please – let’s stop going after these larks and pay attention to the real problems!!!
