Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

It so hard to give a speech about the fact that same sex couples raise children just as happy and well adjusted as traditional parents, when your happy and well adjusted son keeps interrupting you.
I think the word for this is "adorable."
Personally I think the little boy made a better point about how good same sex couples can parent, than ANYTHING said by his dad.
I don't know why Man-And-Woman-Only advocates are so sure having same-sex parents is going to fuck the kids up. By the numbers, heterosexual couples raise more drug dealers, mass murderers, serial killers, and college dropouts LOL
They didn't "trot the kids out." The family came to make a statement that families like theirs are normal. Having the boys with them is a visual statement to that effect.
In my estimation anyone who actually WANT to be a parent should be allowed to undertake the task as they already have the prerequisite of desire for parenthood. I know there are "accidental" pregnancies that turn out ok, but really, why not let those that truly want children have them. Many simply don't have the time or patience for children so please, let all of these folks that actually are up to the task have them.
I know many maladjusted, neglected and poorly raised kids that would have benefited and fared much better in life if they'd been raised by that couple.
...The changing demographics of the electorate are also inauspicious for the gop. The country is less white than it used to be. The Democratic Party has discovered that it can win nationally without the support of white men, a fact which in turn lessens the need to try to fashion appeals to them. This is pleasing to Left 3.0, which views such appeals as unnecessarily centrist. Republicans, meanwhile, have not yet found a reliable way to make up for the votes lost to demographic change.
Generational differences further complicate the demographic picture. Younger people, it’s well known, mostly don’t have a problem with gay marriage. When Obama switched sides on the issue, it was telling that he cited the influence of the views of his own children. He seemed to be telling people quite consciously that it’s ok to change your mind, to move with the times. His personalization of the issue was perhaps marred by the likelihood that he has secretly been in favor of gay marriage since the subject first came up, but thought political viability demanded opposition. But perhaps then his story serves as a signal from Left 3.0, of which Obama is member-in-chief, that it’s time for other Democratic politicians to drop their feigned opposition as well. Support for marriage equality, on the other hand, is highly unlikely to be an issue on which people change their minds as they get older.
A united conservative movement is unlikely any time soon to find itself at one with the Republican Party in the manner in which Left 3.0 is at one with the Democratic Party. First, one would need a united conservative movement, which is difficult to envision in its own right, leaving aside its potential for melding with the gop.
In a broader sense, though, the Left differs from the Right in knowing where it wants to go: in the direction of more equality. Conservatives mostly know where they want to stay: in conditions in which liberty can thrive and the market can work its wonders in creating prosperity. Since the push in the direction of equality will sometimes impinge on liberty and on the market in ways that people will notice and object to, conservative reform will once again have its day. But today belongs to Left 3.0.
I never understood the Heterosexual Agenda concerning gay parenthood. Most of the most maladjusted children I've encountered come from Heterosexual households. These two children really lucked out, it's apparent their parents know what they're doing and love their kids just as much as every other parent.
It's obvious that those two boys are suffering terribly by being with parents like that - NOT!!!
What a couple of cuties who are clearly well-adjusted, well-loved little boys. I wish some of the students I work with had families that experienced a fraction of the stability that those boys have.
Some of the same-sex parents I've gotten to know in my school and community are often better parents specifically because they made a conscious decision to have children and usually went through much more challenging steps to become parents in the first place.
Every child deserves loving parents and it doesn't really matter what lady or man parts those parents have as long as they have the most important part - a caring heart!
Wow, that really was adorable! I loved watching the one boy brushing his lips on his dad's face. I don't get what all the fuss is about, truly, and this was great to view. Thanks.
Pure sweetness!

ReplyDeleteI work in the same hospital as Dr. Melchert--he's a great guy and a wonderful doctor!
ReplyDeleteIt sure sounds like he is a wonderful doctor with a wonderful spouse and two great kids but why trot the kids out as props during a speech?

Deleteyes, it looked like there were quite a few other kids there as well
DeleteYes, Absolutely Adorable!
ReplyDeleteMade my day! Do the right thing, Minnesota!
