I’d say many gay couples make great parents. So do many grandparents, aunts and uncles, even siblings.
But if we can’t agree that the optimal form of parents are the actual parents, we are sunk. Which is why we need to strengthen marriage.
It’s a much bigger issue than this woman’s particular actions.
That’s absolutely not true. You’ve completely dismissed as optimal a lot of great things done by step-parents, adoptive parents, gay parents and foster parents, many of whom are cleaning up the mess or picking up the pieces left behind by one or both biological parents.
Gay folks getting married isn’t the thing that’s most damaging to the institution of marriage. That would the current heterosexual divorce rate of 50 percent. One out of two man/woman marriages fail.
I have a lesbian cousin who is raising an adopted son with her wife of 7 years (together about 15). Their kid is 10 and at the top of his class academically and is a pretty good athlete for his age. They are very involved in every aspect of his life.
I have a heterosexual “Christian” cousin with 4 kids by 3 women who’s on wife number 3 but on the verge of divorce. He is still banging wife 1 on the side and owes wife 2 child support for twin girls he never sees and won’t take care of because he hates the woman he knocked up while separated from wife 1.
In my example the gay home is more stable and three different sets of children with biological, heterosexual parents are struggling with familial dysfunction because one/both child creator is a POS.
Lastly, my childhood best friend came from a great home. He lived with both biological parents. They were not legally married and are still together today. Was his raising somehow worse because his parents didn’t have a ring, a piece of paper and an extra tax credit?
There’s more than one way to tie a knot, just like there’s more than one way to raise a child in a loving, stable environment. It’s more about individuals than institutions.
