Preferably at least two. They may be their biological parents; it is more convenient in a lot of ways if that is the case and if they are married to one another, but the emotional relationship is far more important than the biological one. I’ve known enough people raised by their grandparents, aunts, uncles, gay couples, step-parents, adoptive parents, etc to know that some things are a lot more important than who donated which half of the DNA and whether or not the people raising them are married to one another.

Really, the fact that having married parents makes life easier for kids is an argument FOR gay marriage, not against it. In my opinion. Also a good argument for making it easier for unmarried parents. There are totally pointless obstacles out there.

Producing offspring in no way makes you fit to be a parent. Homophobes just choose to ignore all the craptacular parenting that happens every day by married straight parents and dismiss any good parenting done by people who do not fit their ideal.

Are there no males born in fundyland? Do only girls need both a mom and a dad?

The language of the “question” leaves me confuzzled.

Name & zip not necessary, so I put in my ‘write-only’ email address.

You can also give Minnesota Atheists money for their legal fund.

Of course, this matters more for those who live in Minnesota. We hope to be the tipping point state over the next year.
