Am I crazy, or has there been an explosion of "wonderful gay parent" articles in the press in the last week? I'm beginning to think there is some sort of organized plan in the media to push "gay parents are wonderful" stories right now.

My own small town liberal rag ran a lead story Sunday feature article on a pair of lesbian parents in our town. Of course, the two women both have their doctorate and are college professors. They are articulate and very effective in making the case that they are doing a great job raising their adopted 2 year old daughter.

Of course, the article avoids all of the nasty parts of the issue, like your 16 year old adolescent having to explain the 2 mommys to their Prom date, or daddy #1 explaining why daddy #2 just died of AIDS.

Not an organized plan so much as generalized laziness. Reporters on the "sociology" beat have to come up with feature stories for their weekend papers, preferably ones with lots of photos, human interest, blah, blah. the best kind are "trend" stories, which can be based on a new statistic that is interesting. The Census just released this data, from what I can tell. So they put out a press release and every sociology beat reporter got it. It's an interesting stat, so call two or three same-sex parenting couples in your town and voila! Your work is done for the week. The fact that every single other town paper will have the same story usually doesn't matter to you, because how many people read the San Diego Tribune and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch? This is why that dumb metrosexual story ran everywhere for about two weeks straight.

Yes there has been a push. It coincides with the comencement of the Human Rights Campaign radio advertisement masqarading as a conservative group opposed to the Federal Marriage Amendment.

It tracks with the use of the word "parent" NEVER mother or father. The children in this story are described as "gay parents" never in the "heather has two momies" vernacular. The words "mother" and "father" are forbiden.

The homosexuals are trying to counter the fact that marriage as an instutition is for reproduction. They now want to go with the mere raising children ala hilary clinton's village.

You will note how these two homosexuals had to buy their child outside normal channels.

Or why your Daddy left your mom for the floozy OTHER WOMAN in Vegas. Or why your Mom is in jail because she was running drugs for her BOYFRIEND. Scumbag parents do not just exist in the homosexual world. By your example, then ALL parenting is wrong based on a few idiots.
