This thread is way too long to read, so I'm just posting an example - of people I know personally.
Case One: Two gay men have been allowed to adopt two abused little boys. They are incredibly caring, supportive, paying for therapy, devoting themselves completely to their welfare.
Case Two: A married woman and man have their seven-year-old daughter clean the entire house and cook meals, never buy her clothes, never take her to the doctor, never show any interest in her. These people aren't twisted or psychologically unbalanced. They're your run-of-the-mill assholes.
So who would you say are the better parents? It's not that complex, really.
And I think from this page, Flores' view of the streets is incredibly unrealistic. Two obvious things: they're far more likely to be sexually abused and addicted to drugs. Yep. *nods in disbelief* That is *far* less traumatic than growing up with loving gay parents. Rather be on drugs, abused and a criminal any day of the week.
Sorry. We've probably moved on rather a lot from that point, but it really hit a chord in me.
