Obscanity: You'll know it when you see it

You are going to hell, Christian Newswire. You are going to hell for this statement:

Prop 8 Impact: Child prostitutes predominantly come from broken homes where girls do not have a stable two parent family. Instead they are either thrown away, run away or lured. If these children had the balance of a mother and a father the chances of them falling into the hands of the predator are drastically reduced.

I am appalled, seething, horrified, seeing-red furious over this article. This isn’t just an attack on gay parents. If you are an adoptive parent or a stepparent, or if you love your adoptive parents or your stepparents, then you should be furious at this comparison as well.

Children of households with same-gender parents HAVE STABLE TWO-PARENT HOMES. The only instability is the instability imposed by the state if Prop 8 passes.

I am sick to fucking death of people comparing the children of gay parents to the children of single parents. This comparison completely denigrates non-biological parents – ALL non-biological parents, including step-parents and adoptive parents of ALL sexual orientations – by dismissing them altogether, ignoring them, and pretending they do not exist unless they are genetically linked to the child. Adoptive parents and step-parents are parents too – to ignore them is to do a huge disservice not only to the parents, but to the children as well.

If you truly believe that children deserve a stable two-parent home, then for the love of God, LET THEIR PARENTS GET MARRIED!

Honor ALL mothers and fathers, not just the heterosexual ones. Vote NO on Prop 8.
