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!

Naw. It's just a little anecdote. But there are worse kinds of parents than two good conservative gay people. Think of the straight parents who send their kids into the lake in their carseats, or chop off their arms, or bury them in concrete... Loving parents are best.

Once again, apples to oranges. The percentages of biological parents who do this sort of thing are only a small percentage of all parents, and it is a smaller percentage than the percentage of gays or lesbians who abuse their children.

Dozens of recent studies continue to show that children who grow up with their biological parents outperform children from all other types of parenting situations in their physical, academic, social and emotional adjustment. Stop thinking only in stereotypes, and look at the big picture, backed by research. A mom and a dad are the best combination for the state to affirm as parents of children.

A few individual homosexuals may do as well as natural parents, but comparing the few high-achievers in this "trial promotion" period is not an appropriate way to evaluate a marriage policy for the entire nation. After the spotlight is off, standards may decline precipitously, especially if NAMBLA's agenda of promoting adult/child sex as its next item of business were to follow legalization of gay marriage.
