We aren’t allowed to say that children should have a mother and a father. Or we need to specify nowadays, a male, biologically born male who has always been male, along with a female, a biological female who has always been female. We aren’t allowed to say such things.
I never understand how we always get dragged into side issues such as lesbian couples, and somehow it’s a slam against lesbians to say children benefit from a father. Ditto we get into the single motherhood dispute, in which it is taken as a slam against single mothers, if you say children need a father too.
Our culture has devolved in some ways. This is one. We can’t make common sense statements about families anymore.
Speaking the truth is now an act of hate.
