A South Carolina womans new essay about being raised by her lesbian mom contains a surprising revelation: she opposes marriage equality.
Gay community, I am your daughter. My mom raised me with her same-sex partner back in the 80s and 90s, writes Heather Barwick, a 31-year-old mother of four, in The Federalist. Im writing to you because Im letting myself out of the closet: I dont support gay marriage. But it might not be for the reasons that you think. Its not because youre gay. I love you, so much. Its because of the nature of the same-sex relationship itself.

Of course, Beth Greenfield, the "journalist" who penned the piece, wouldn't expound much on the writings of Heather Barwick--the woman who opposes SSM. Instead, she spends 6 of the 12 paragraphs on the article citing homosexuals who say she is wrong, and her story doesn't matter.
World Magazine’s March 21, 2015 has a great article on this subject - page 44: “The Kids are NOT All Right”.
Exactly, the author marginalized the young woman’s story as if she were Jerry Falwell opining on the subject. There was real vehement Hate for her because she didn’t agree with the official narrative.
Yahoo only posted this article as a vehicle to attack Heather Barwick with the replies of a bunch of homosexual activists. Barwick makes a solid argument, a second mother or a second father cannot replace the father or mother that is lost in a homosexual relationship. There is a reason why God created families with one mother and one father. Children need to be raised by both.
Any further complaints will illicit a "hate crime" indictment, loss of job or social ostracizing which ever is more convenient to the thought police.
The homos who argue that she (the daughter) is denying them their rights are the ones in denial about their effed up lifestyle.
Looks like mainly denial and personal attacks to me. That’s fallacious reasoning if I ever saw it. Sounds like some people not wanting to put this out of writing shows that some people really can’t let it down because it is at least somewhat correct.
A kid has a right to a normal set of parents. Conceiving a child and depriving it of one half of a normal set is child abuse.
My wife is the product of the same upbringing. Her mother decided after having 2 children and 5 years of marriage that she was gay and moved out. It was her moms partner that made my wife detest lesbian relationships. He moms partner hated men so much that my wife said they would have these lesbian couples over and they would all rant how much they all hated men. She said at first it confused her, and then she saw how they fed off each other on the hated. Today she still doesn’t like lesbian women because of the hatred many have. She said they are more intolerant of her being straight than she being intolerant of them being lesbian.
I hope she still cares for her mother. Grace may yet redeem her...thanks for sharing.
You are entitled to your relationship. You have the right to associate with whom you like.
You are not entitled to change the definition of marriage.
Her mother passed away 5 years ago. Her partner however lived until this year. It’s funny, her mom was the one who had a career, savings, 401K, IRA, etc. When her mom passed away, her partner made sure there was no inheritance for my wife and her brother and left all what was left to her niece in Indiana. It’s not like we needed any of it, but it was the point. By the way, the niece she left it all to is also a lesbian. Just more of her mom’s partners hate of heterosexuals.
Only to the Libs in the media.

That’s kept me as a subscriber of World Magazine for some 20 years now. Subscription is not cheap - $60 for a year’s biweekly issues, but the Christian, pro-Israel perspective makes it a great substitute for the leftist crap printed in Time or Newsweek.
Her essay in a nutshell, even in the best of circumstances, a gay household is a empty facade.
But while her argument is heartfelt, note some gay-parenting supporters, its also full of holes.
They didn't list any holes that I saw. The very next paragraph is merely a turdburglar homoagenda activist saying she is wrong.
So... that settles THAT?
WRONG!
Just because some fudgepacker says something about gay "marriage" doesn't mean he is some authority on the needs of children.
So... that settles THAT?"
Does a lib ever support an argument with a few factual nuggets? Sounds like a typical exchange to me.
So she’s the “Heather” from “Heather has two mommies” and the gaystapo have their collective panties in a wad (hmmm, poor choice of words when dealing with this demographic?) I could just envision her mom and “significant other” lamenting “where did we go wrong?!??” But hey, it’s all good, things will work out. Supposedly around 4% of the population have homosexual tendencies, that’s 1 in 20 who are “born that way” Odds are somebody in the Duck Dynasty clan or the Duggar family will come out before long, and the LGBT/FUBAR community will have the mother of all spontaneous orgasms if and when that happens.
Single parenting also excludes one key role.
