I disagree ; although a particular g/l parent MAY APPEAR "nice" , the lifestyle they have chosen IS ultimately destructive to society, and therefore BAD for the children

You are entitled to think that, but by universalizing it to ALL G/L parents, you are leaving yourself open to an exceptional example. That example will, in the eyes of the public (and ESPECIALLY the media), will be used to discredit your assertion that ALL G/L parents are destructive to their kids. With that refutation will go the policy that we shouldn't allow G/L parenting (which we should not). A policy should not be based upon exceptions, but that is what rigid thinking like yours unwittingly produces. You thus get what you oppose, and will be judged accordingly.

By their fruits shall ye know them.

Don't care more about your righteousness than the truth, or you will get to wear your righteousness while losing the battle to build a just and righteous society. The truth is, that a very few kids come out of G/L families and become fine decent Godly people in adulthood. That does not mean that the POLICY is a good one for society.

As I said, good outcome, bad judicial opinion.
