is whether or not a homosexual couple can be normal parents.
I know people who are in "alternative lifestyles"--it is neither loving nor truthful to suggest that there is anything good that can come out of this...
Mary is from a close-knit conservative family, and the child will be surrounded by them as well. It's sad that Mary's only "crime" is being gay, but that's enough for you to think you can dictate that she should not be a parent. From everything I've seen, she is otherwise conservative and a decent, law-abiding citizen.
