It boils down to, we don't live in 1960s suburbia. Everywhere you look there are kids raised by single parents, divorced parents, extended families as social services. Worldwide the are millions of orphans, and many children are sold into slavery by two parent, mixed gender parents. <br /><br />If the entire world was the way these "child advocates" seem to believe it really is, then no child would stay in foster care for most of their Pre-adult lives. If the real goal is wanting to take care of kids, there are plenty out there who oowould be thrilled with one good, loving parent, two would be a miracle. That is true for the children of heterosexual marriages, in unmarried parents, (with or without the father in the picture) and crosses all social and economic ranges. The reality is that we don't have to guess what children raised by gay parents *might be like,* because there are already plenty of them to talk to. On the whole, the findings show that kids aren't any more, or less, screwed up because their parent(s) happen to be heterosexual.

And yes, I know what you mean; after a while, the practicality of marriage trumps the ideals. <br /><br />I will check out the link as soon as I can.<br /><br />All the best<br />pmgpostmormongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455759739126093761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318606957645672999.post-36566280268868220262013-03-29T05:14:48.544-06:002013-03-29T05:14:48.544-06:00Gay marriage seems to be an unending battle someti...Gay marriage seems to be an unending battle sometimes. As a gay person who has been in a committed relationship for several years, and has raised three amazing children, I find myself on an emotional roller coaster. I go from feeling incredibly supported by so many people (including yourselves) to feeling such heartache when I read or hear the comments of people who are not supportive. <br /><br />When there is a ballot measure or Supreme Court hearing it feels as though my life is put in the spotlight. My rights are in question and the quality of my life and the lives of my family are in the hands of church and state. Well, not totally in their hands. My life is amazing with or without their approval. But you know what I mean.<br /><br />I hope you don't mind if I post a link to my recent blog post.<br />http://thoughtspercoffee2.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-gay-marriage-battle.html<br /><br />Thank you for being a voice of reason and support.Just Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617582702842642998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318606957645672999.post-51519119818961395852013-03-28T19:52:38.635-06:002013-03-28T19:52:38.635-06:00It definitely makes a child's life a lot more ...It definitely makes a child's life a lot more insecure - and in my book, that is neither ethical nor humane.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting. :)postmormongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455759739126093761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318606957645672999.post-78275005612784983212013-03-28T19:28:32.177-06:002013-03-28T19:28:32.177-06:00Agreed!

And if children of homosexual couples truly are what conservatives are concerned about- not letting their parents marry is not doing those kids any favors.
