And if anyone is interested in research or fact, I'll be happy to 
post the studies that are showing that children raised by lesbians 
are as emotionally healthy as  children raised by straight people.

A friend of mine, a prosecutor, was raised by his single mother after 
his battering father left them. He always questioned the issue of the 
need for a "father", saying it really depended on the father.

I was blessed with a sweet, strong wonderful father....

I've met lesbians and gays who I didn't think were good parents, and 
I've met straight people who just had their kids and are now 
neglecting them...

So it goes.
