They Say: Two Moms Better Than Mom And Dad

Based on my own personal, anecdotal experience, I’d have to agree with these conclusions — the lesbian parents I know are far better parents than I am.  The same, actually, is true of the guys raising kids together too.  Of course, all that is nothing more than one person’s experience and may very well be more indicative of my lack of skill than their exceptional abilities.  There is, however, actual scientific research on the matter and it matches what I’ve encountered personally — Lesbians are better parents than straight couples.

“My Two Moms Can Beat Up Your 14 Wives”

Mostly he’s telling anyone who will listen how much he disagrees with the job that Barack Obama is doing as President. But he also came out (no pun intended) in favor of gay marriage. In his own words: “I think that freedom means freedom for everyone. As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay, and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family…I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish — any kind of arrangement they wish.” Continue reading »
