Rick Santorum thinks the heterosexual in jail is better than the two gay parents.

Quote:
"...even fathers in jail who had abandoned their kids were still better than no father at all to have in their childrens’ lives.” Allowing gays to marry and raise children, he said, amounts to “robbing children of something they need, they deserve, they have a right to.

Why does Sanitation hate gays so much?

Was he molested by a Catholic priest when he was little?

Sorry, but circumstances can not always allow that every kid is going to be born into a home of one woman and one man who are both married, or if they actually are that it will stay that way. I feel most sorry for the kids who don't come from homes Santorum approves of when they hear what he thinks of them.

law-abiding doesn't mean they are good parents and being in prison doesn't mean they are a bad person, doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Should be a simple answer. I'd say that two gay parents are better then a lot of dual sexed house hold.

I think the government should not be deciding one way or the other.

So, someone with a prison record cannot be a good parent? Or, as good a parent as two homosexuals?

A person with a prison record can be a good parent, but probably not while they're imprisoned.
