Who’s your Daddy (and Daddy)?

As San Luis Obispo gays (local couple David Perez and David Kilburn pictured) celebrated the California Supreme Court 4-3 decision to the overturn a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, I could not help thinking about the children. I know the argument: many gay couples can be better parents to children than some heterosexual couples. I have no doubt that is true, in the sense of how well they provide for and treat their children with kindness. I have no doubt they will love them dearly. Of course there are some terrible heterosexual parents, likely in the same percentage as there will be terrible same-sex parents. But, and this is a big but to me, I just have a problem with kids growing up not being able to have both a mom and dad, as both serve to fill different needs in a child. That’s the way nature works, in virtually all species. It just doesn’t seem right to that a kid has a daddy and daddy or a mommy and mommy. It’s just not right. and I have absolutely zero problem with people being gay, zero. It’s just that I draw the line on the parenting issue.
