I disagree with the NY Times Op Ed because it equates a nebulous, unscientific, facile, political term - “race” – with a biologically empirical term - gender. And whereas males and females of differing nationalities and cultures (and heights and weights and ages and skin colors) have started families by procreation for THOUSANDS of years, two men have never procreated no matter how long their kiss lasted.

The Op Ed also makes a stupid and false assertion about ‘in-your-face’ public displays of affection by gay people.

My final question to Texas Lynn relates to the inability of same-sex marriages to provide gender balanced parenting for their artificially adopted or surrogate children.

Many same-sex couples claim that they can provide surrogate “stand-ins” to satisfy the need for gender role models and to assist with gender-specific child raising issues such as, for example, the potential need for two gay men to find and provide an adult female mentor for their adopted female child as she enters puberty. (Menstruation, female hygiene, contraception, Prom Night. etc)

Why would gay “marriages” seek to provide this type of gender balance role model for their adopted children if it wasn’t seen as necessary for the child’s welfare?
