...where there is no father, we are becoming less and less qualified as a society to pass judgement on anyone.

No judgment, just a statement of fact: a mother and a father.

At least the title wasn't "Gay men rear children"

They had their first face-to-face meeting that June at a Mexican restaurant.

I realize this is uncalled for, but when I read this part, I thought to myself, "Face to Face? Rarely are their first encounters Face to Face."

The decline continues

Why don't they do a story about all the queers who adopt a child and after they figure out how much work it is, as opposed to playing house, abandon the child.

To be fair, many straight individuals and couples lose interest in their children and fob them off on nannies, daycare providers or just leave them to fend for themselves.

Not correct.

Even a child of a divorced family knows they have a mother AND a father even if one of them is not there. It is part of the parenting class which all divorcing parents are required to take when undergoing a divorce involving children.

A child with a deceased mother or father knows they had both mother and father at some point.

Homosexuality by defenition is inappropriate to the raising of children. Children trapped being raised in that environment will never be able to be in a normal family environment. They are trapped with two adults whose self definition is recreational sex based on a fetish.

I have two couples in my social life that are gay male parenting couples, and both children are thriving.

Well, your little anecdote proves that gay parenting is great! Big mistake on God's part to have imagined that kids need mommies and daddies. Just another cosmic goof!

Because kids need mothers AND fathers, not a pair of doting queers.

Selfish bastards

His mentality is typical of what I call "mewling minorities" -- small, disaffected racial, religious or lifestyle minorities who demand that the host society change in order to make them happy.

Host society? Reminds me of the term "host organism."

Haven't you noticed how the words mother and father have become forbidden in the MSM?

Gay "marriage" and now "parenting" is ultimately an attack o the whole idea of gender, of separate sexes, as well as, obviously, sex role differences.

I call that a value judgment. And one I happen to agree with.

I notice an odd trend among gay couples where one is so much older than the other by 10 or 15 years sometimes.

Why is this?

This is outrageous that two men would have the wherewithall to raise a boy. They're probably so wound up in after shave and designer belts in the morning to make sure the kid has a bowl of Froot Loops! That's where a woman should step in. In the least, they should hire a nanny to take care of details like making beds and checking the weather before the boy heads off to school. God knows the "fathers" are probably already wearing "rubbers" in case of rain.

Completely disgusting. God bless that little boy as he realizes what happened to his Country after 2000! Tort reform is hardly enough to reverse the decline of our standards. Let's hope our President can put the pieces together and take us back to the post WWII era of baby boom and economic explosion!

Get over thinking it is "gross" for gay men or women to parent children.

I will not "get over" thinking it. It IS gross. See post #3.

Even a child with a gay parent knows that they have a biological mother and father, even if one of them is not there.

It reinforces the fact the child is in an "alternative lifestyle" based on recreational sex. This assumes the child was not a donated egg and a anonymous sperm donor. There is no mother that wanted them, just produced the child like a product.
