And can we stop with the argument that "loving gay couples are better that abusive straight parents"? Has it been proven than gay people are less abusive than straight people? The argument seems to diminish the cause by implying that gay couples are different than straight, when it should be that they are the same and therefore there is nothing for people to object to.

Does the gender of parents really matter?

Where is Anita Bryant now?
I hope she is being held up in an orange juice container.

Probably Because The FRC Is A Hate Group Without Any Credibility Or Real Scientists/Scholars On It's Board.

Plus Many Of Us Provided That Proof.

I Even Used Forbes Magazine To Discredit The FRC!.

Here's The Bottom Line!

I have a theory that the human race has evolved such that some people are gay or lesbian, partially so that they could be parents for orphaned or abandoned young. Kids need families, and many same-sex couples long for children to call their own.

You so called "liberals" praising this! I am a real liberal and about real progress, you "liberals" are way behind me. I support the following story below. You "liberals" are supporting gay couples being able to adopt a regular kid, that is so yesterday, whatever, omg! I support parents who adopt a transgender man who feels like a 6yr old girl. And if you don't support this you are a bigot! Freedom! Equality!

That makes a lot of sense. In the past orphaned kids would be taken care of by family members, like aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. That is sooo outschool. People were so anti gay back then.
