It is only an assertion that it is better to have a mom and dad? Sorry, you are what is wrong with America, my friend. That ideas is so foolish as to almost appear to be a Saturday Night Live skit. Why not a mom and a dog who really loves and protects the child? Men and women bring different things to a child that two people of the same sex can never bring.
I am a scientist. We are talking on two different planes. Opinion vs. Fact. I can value both, though.
