Reply #127: "gays being parents" is "better than a shelter" ... Holy Shit. [View All]

[Misunderestimator]

You add the "but not optimal"... to try to justify that incredible insult, because who could argue that it isn't exactly optimal, when our society judges gay people so harshly that by extention it is difficult as well for their children. I know of NO children that have "optimal" parents. Having gay parents is just one of the many differences between all children's parents. I would have MUCH preferred to have had two gay mothers or two gay fathers who loved me, than having the straight father that I had.

To say that it is "better than a shelter" you are implying that it is only marginally better than the child having NO parents, and that's extremely offensive and bigoted. It is immeasurably better than having neglectful parents, or parents who hit their children, or parents that don't care about their children's education, or parents that don't know what their children are doing, or a single straight parent who doesn't have time to send with their children. How dare you insinuate that a child having two loving gay parents is just a bit better than the child having none!
