See, nothing abnormal here.

According to Reuters by way of Yahoo!, families being "raised" by lesbian mothers is a growing phenomenon. The story goes on to describe the children as normal and well-adjusted with no social problems, etc., with the unspoken theme being that there should be no reason why two lesbians who love each other should not be allowed to marry, if not for them, at least "for the children". Interesting how since the children in question are, at this time, for all intents and purposes "normal", this should be proof that two women can raise a family just as equally, if not better, than a man and a woman.

Unfortunately, the people pushing this "utopian" version of life in a gay household fail to take into account one glaring problem, for children to grow and develope normally, they need both a mail and female presence in the home. Thanks to no-fault divorce and the federal government's welfare system, a generation of poor children grew up in homes without a male role model. The result were young men who had no respect for autority since there was none in the home and who turned to crime and drugs. Two lesbians raising children are not going to instill any more respect for authority in boys than one woman. No matter how many books written by childless psycologists say, without a strong male influence in the home to teach boys respect for authority, they will walk all over the mother or "mothers".

Here is another problem that lesbian parents have "conviently" forgotten. No matter how much they "think" that they know about men, they can never really teach a boy what he knows to be a man. It is ludicrous to believe as such, just like it would be for the Great El-ahrairah to think that he could answer every question that a daughter would have about becoming a woman. Since I was a 13-year old boy once (no, I wasn't a rabbit), I know exactly what questions my son has about life and can talk to him on a level that his mother can only dream about. Boys are also more physical and more aggressive. Women can be aggessive at times, but every day? When I went to see my son last month in France after not having seen him for 2 and 1/2 years, do you think we sat around and talked about our feelings? No, we picked up where we left off, exchanging "manly" arm slugs for hours, laughing at stupid jokes that only men can understand and generally just goofing off like two men without a female influence.

For centuries, the best way to raise children is with the influence of a mother and a father. Humans have been having children for millenia. If there had been a better way to raise children, don't you think we would have found it before now? I'm an engineer and one of my rules of thumb is "Don't fix what ain't broken". Saddling children with the equivalent of a divorced home because two women want to play house is stupid and will only hurt the children in the long run and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that.
