Gay Parenting

The Golden Globe Awards were full of kudos this year for one of Hollywood's latest liberal causes, the movie The Kids Are All Right. It's claimed to be the story of two lesbians raising the children of one of them. Hollywood would truly like to believe what the title says, but it's not true. It's time to tell the truth, not what they want to believe. Studies have consistently shown over and over again that children are happier, do better in school, and build more productive lives when they are raised in emotionally healthy heterosexual families.

Common sense and a simple knowledge and awareness of human nature should tell us that boys cannot learn how to be well-balanced honorable men without the role modeling good fathers provide. The same is true about girls raised by men. Children who are heterosexual learn only how to relate to homosexuals, not how to respond as a heterosexual. How can they avoid gender identity problems when they become teens?

The ideal family life for every child, of course, is to live in a home where a mother and a father, preferably their own, interact in loving ways. How do these parents keep the love alive? How do they solve their inevitable conflicts in ways that minimize hurting each other, allowing them the satisfaction, contentment, and joy that builds a marriage that lasts fifty years of more? This is what children learn best in a happy heterosexual home.

Are the kids "all right?" Ask the kids what they want.
