Sorry, John, living with unmarried parents, who often are uncommitted to each other, is not good for children. Children bond easily and then are torn away when the relationship ends and moves on to someone else. Children also need a mom and a dad (mentally stable obviously, which a lot of parents aren't). Gay couples don't care about a child's need for two (stable) parents, only their own "need" to have a child. Leftist that I am, I would make it illegal for single parents to have children, it's that important for children's mental health. That's theoretical of course, it'll never happen. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Wager To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 5/17/2006 2:42:51 PM Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Good Ole' Missouri I wonder when the city of Black Jack will realize that there are also unmarried people of the SAME SEX living together with "multiple children." I'm sure some fundamentalist will start complaining about how the "gays" are getting away with things again. So in the end, the city will have to outlaw ALL unmarried people with children from living together, even if they are sisters living together waiting for their husbands to come back from Iraq....
