Let's hear from someone who was raised by two lesbians:

And Sharan - there is nothing that says a bad law can't be overturned. So if the allowance of heterosexual divorce was a mistake, why don't we just reverse it? Let's put it to a referendum: think the Australian public will agree? As with same-sex marriage, I'm pretty sure the majority of Australians would vote in favour of divorce. I know it's hard to realise you're behind the times, but I'm afraid you're going to have to accept it (or catch up).

The fact that conservatives will sadly never understand is that change is the default. Always has, always will be. In this case, it is called social progress: remember there were those who decried the abolition of slavery and the granting of universal suffrage the disastrous end of society as we know it; should we reverse those decisions too? Exactly how far back do you think we should regress?

I fully endorse this article, one which stands up for children and their right to have a mother and father rather than accede to the selfish, hedonistic demands of same-sex adults.

Let same-sex adults live as they wish but let's keep innocent, powerless kids out of their mix!

There are many points to this article that I disagree with, but the main point is undeniable. Children require the influence and input of both adult males and females while growing up. I grew up in a single parent family and the lack of male input in my life had a significant effect on me, an effect I can clearly see now that I am older and hopefully a little wiser. I have no opinion on gay marriage, nor on gay parenthood - but there must be significant close caring input from both sexes in children’s lives. If this cannot be provided by the parents, whether homo or hetero, the question needs to be asked - am I fit to be a parent?

Ah yes, the Witherspoon Institute. It is an opus dei propaganda factory.
And we all know that the opus dei attitude to the human body, especially the bodies of children looks like this:

Remembering that Mel Gibson was regularly thrashed by his extremely right-wing "catholic" father.
And that the senior members of opus dei practice bodily-mortification which tells us in very stark in-your-face terms that they are essentially psychotic. http://www.odan.org/corporal_mortification.htm
Would any sane person send their children to a school or church run and controlled by such obviously twisted people?

Then of course there is the horrific historical evidence of the child-rearing (really comprehensive psycho-physical crippling) of children via the old-time father-knows-best method(s). As described in these references
