Patronizing bullshit ahead
As excerpted by this AP article in regards to Mary Cheney's pregnancy with her partner Heather Poe:
Janice Crouse of Concerned Women for America described the pregnancy as "unconscionable."
"It's very disappointing that a celebrity couple like this would deliberately bring into the world a child that will never have a father," said Crouse, a senior fellow at the group's think tank. "They are encouraging people who don't have the advantages they have."
and
Carrie Gordon Earll, a policy analyst for the conservative Christian ministry Focus on the Family, expressed empathy for the Cheney family but depicted the newly announced pregnancy as unwise.
"Just because you can conceive a child outside a one-woman, one-man marriage doesn't mean it's a good idea," said. "Love can't replace a mother and a father."
RE: "encouraging people". So a prominent lesbian couple, a member of which is inevitably a thorn in Republican's sides due to the inhearent contridiction she is, decides to have a baby. Suddenly homosexuals considering raising kids are going to be brainwashed into doing so, because YOU think the IQ of a homosexual is no more than 50 points? -_- I'm single and bisexual and even if I was with a woman I wouldn't be looking to invest in a turkey baster ANY time soon, just because I see that the lesbian Republican daughter is preggers. Homosexuality doesn't indicate an infantile mental ability and dependence. kthxbai and GTFO my internet.
RE: "Love can't replace a mother and a father". Well bitch, good for you if you had such a perfect family. But in the real world the rest of us live in it doesn't always work like that. I know plenty of people who would be better off if their fathers had never been in the picture at all, because the world isn't measured by the dollar signs in your eyes. Compared to the people I know it's not as severely applicable to me, but it IS applicable in ways that have kept me in therapy for two years and counting--LONG past my initial trigger/crisis reason and dirt surface issues. So don't tell me crap that indicates that a mother and father is the source--maybe you have kids yourself and just want to feel self-important?
Love is the source--parents are just potential vessels for it. Whether it's a M/F, F/F, M/M, single F or a single M, M/M/M/F ala Three Men and a Baby ETC. There's no guarentee that having a mother and a father will result in loved children, and it's downright disrespectful to everyone out there who had never known love from their parent(s) to say that love can't replace a mother and a father. Nothing can replace a loving enviroment. Period.
God, this disgusts me. But then, when it's not even acceptable for same-sex PIXELS to get married in a game why am I so surprised?
Is it so wrong to want to exist in a place where love is the vibration, the essence, the very air to breathe?
