the woman in the referenced video creeps me out. mostly because she's stating "facts" that aren't factual in my brain. makes me uncomfortable... :/ <3
I am of course sympathetic to your position on the pending vote in MN. I agree that a given gay couple can be far better parents than a given heterosexual couple. Parenting is a many faceted enterprise: the sexuality and/or marital status of the parents is only one (possibly minor/incidental) factor. Nonetheless, I do think that you romanticize the resiliency of children. I am delighted that the kids in Superior had smiles on their faces; but you cannot know the scars they carry within.
