Prove it. And you are such a hypocrite! Evidently you had "poorly educated parents" as evidence by your IGNORING the little red dotted line of your comment....says volumes about you!Well folks , there is also considerable evidence that having parents of the oppposite sex is the least importanr factor in a childs development and emotional well being. But I am not even going to go there. Why- because the claim that children suffer in some way by not having a mother and a father is a ridiculous argument against same sex marriage. Even if you could prove that children need a mother and a father, you then still have to show that -by not allowing gay marriage, more children would have both a mother and a father. I am will to bet that no one can actually do that.
Consider:
Lesbians who have a child or who want a child are not going to marry a man if they can't marry a woman
Children who are adopted by same sex couples are free for adoption because they had NO legal parents
Gay and lesbian couple andindividuals will havechildren whether or not they can marry. The difference is that the child will not have the security, legal protections and financial benefits of having two legal parents
ONne last thing to consider. If you could show that children raised by same sex couple do not do as well as others, who else should discourage or prohib from having children.
Children living in poverty may not do as well as others
Children with poorly educated parents may not do as well
How far are we willing to go in determining who shoulsand shold not have kids?
Truly pathetic example of lack of scholarship from a person with "poorly educated parents"!
