It is unnatural for children to grow up with gay parents. Yes homosexuals have certain rights, but what about the childrens' rights to grow in a healthy environment? As a young person myself, I am very thankful that I was not raised by two gay men.
There are married Americans who are so desperate to adopt children that they will adopt foreign orphans. If an American child is an orphan, there is no pressing need for them to be adopted by two gays.
In 2000 Richard Hatch, the homosexual winner of survivor lost custody of his adopted son after charges of physical abuse surfaced. He was acquitted of criminal charges, but the child was still removed.
Remember, when you allow gay parents to have children, the children are completely under their care. I do not feel comfortable with gay men "spanking" and punishing children. Do you?
Even if most gay parents did not abuse their children, 47% of molestation cases come from within the family: fathers, stepfathers, and uncles. Allowing gay marriage endangers many more children.
Ms Crouse is correct: Mary Cheney's pregnancy strongly affects our society. It shows a strong trend in our country that few would have imagined just 15 years ago. The fact that America's conservative Vice President could have a homosexual daughter and the President congratulates them on her pregnancy- and on top of it they head the conservative party- shows where we will soon be if you and I don't take a strong stand against gay marriage.
People should mind their own business.
This country was so much better when degeneracy was called degeneracy. Turkey basters unite!
People should mind their own damn business.
This is nobodys business. Who cares? I don't.
This article is a big bunch of bullcrap. Their baby doesn't affect us in the least bit. For crying out loud, get a life already. At least she's not aborting a baby.
I'd say it's a pretty damning set of circumstances across the board, regardless of your political persuasions.
And may God help the innocent.
Quite correct; you remain unscathed, for the most part.
Pity the innocent child isn't, however.
Aren't most gays raised by straight parents?

Good grief! Your logic implies that the optimal conditions for raising a child is with two lesbian partners because men are more likely to molest a child. It is curious with your logic that you have a problem with Cheney's daughter.
Baloney.
Here you have someone who is pregnant, is keeping the baby, and will raise the child in a secure, loving home.
And its none of anyone's damn business.
Good for Mary Cheney and congrats to the couple.
Aint that grand? Out of wedlock gay parenting didn't become a problem until Mary Cheney became pregnant.
I would dearly love to present a much more graphic, very realistic interpretation of this fruity, sanitized language.
But I'd be banned instantly.
here here...how on earth can we tell "certain" women they can't have a child. They're not allowed to have a child...of all the God given rights bestowed upon a woman, that's a biggie.
Dan Quayle was right!
Yawn.
This is as about much ado about nothing as it can be. Of course, the left will spin it wildly, along with some from the far right, to make noise.
It's not like Mary Cheney is the first nor the last lesbian to become pregnant.
If her father wasn't Dick Cheney, vice-president to George W. Bush, it wouldn't even merit the back page.
Dan Quail was right? When he spelled 'potatoe'?
