Children are a huge consideration in all divorce proceedings. Rather than being banished, they are the main consideration.
Do you think that divorce is very hard on children? And that that's still better than having 2 mommies who love them?
Yes, no. It's hard on children but take a look at your black population to see what happens with absentee fathers.
Yes, but no all gay unions are living in poverty like the black single mother usually do. The child also won't feel abandoned by one parent, as single parent children can. And some single mothers have children with no intention of having the birth father involved, is that still better that a gay couple?
Bored with your situational ethics. The ideal for all children is a loving mother and father. All else fails in comparison.
Yet our system doesn't require your 'ideal' for children.
Or my ideal- 'loving parents who are able to emotionally and financially support their children'.
Basically right now two teens fumbling in the backseat of the car get to become parents whether they intended to or not, whether they can support them or not.
Personally I prefer loving parents that are committed to raising their children, and responsible enough to do the job.
I don't care what their gender or ethnicity or sexual orientation is- just take care of your kids.
