I agree with the other replies in this thread.
The thing that bothers me most about the article is that the writer seems to have completely overlooked the fact that not every straight biological parent is fit to be a parent. I've seen countless examples of married and unmarried straight couples and single parents that prove to be quite a hazard for their children.
He's also completely forgotten that there are many other ways for a child to be "be denied his
birthright to both parents who made him." How is being adopted by a straight couple any different than being adopted by a gay or lesbian couple in this respect?
I happen to know a woman who was adopted and raised by a lesbian couple, and she's absolutely one of the most well-adjusted people I know. Maybe that doesn't mean anything to some people, but it furthers my own belief that as long as a child is in a loving, safe environment, it doesn't matter what race, religion, or gender their parent(s) happen to be.
