Fact: Gay and lesbian Americans form lasting monogamous relationships.

Fact: Those relationships create families.

Fact: Those families often include children.

Fact: Some so-called “pro-family” advocates are willing to hurt children and their parents in order to advance a self-serving socio-political agenda.

No one personifies that destructive, anti-family, self-aggrandizing deception more than Louis P. Sheldon, founder and chairman of the Traditional Values Coalition. He demonstrated that yet again with his March 6, 2007 invective. It seems Chairman Sheldon is outraged by the Alliance for Marriage, whose motto is “More Children Raised in a Home with a Mother and Father.” While the Alliance wishes to “protect marriage” and reserve it for heterosexuals only, they have the common sense and grasp of reality to recognize the facts listed above.

1. Sheldon should be going after

divorced couples and unmarried parents, then, because many more children from those groups live with only one parent than children living with a homosexual couple.

I was raised by my mother and grandmother. Does that mean I'm bad or wrong?


Thanks for the point that homosexuals form monogamous relationships. There is still a lot of misinformation out there-you'd be surprised how many still think all gays are pedophiles and that all homosexuals have multiple partners all the time.

2. Homosexuals need divorce as well.

Marriage is a necessary institution for social order. Not only does the recognition of married people provide certain guarantees of security due to that status, but it also provides a necessary process for dealing with the termination of the marital status, i.e. divorce. With so many homosexual family groups that we see today, a civil authority is in need of a process to deal with the breakup of such families, instead of leaving it up to chance or chaos.

An example:
A and B love each other and start living together. B moves into A's home. A had just recently bought the home. The title to the house is in A's name. The mortgage is also in A's name. B brings home his paycheck and puts it in a joint banking account with A, from which all household expenses are paid. The mortgage payment gets paid out of the joint banking account. A and B continue living as a family unit for 7 years. For one reason or another, there is a breakdown in the relationship. B leaves, but he wants his share of the house, since he has been paying on the mortgage for seven years. A says, "you don't own any part of this house". A is right. Legally, the house belongs to A. There are a hodgepodge of state laws dealing with this inequitable outcome, but they are all dependent on the intent of the parties. (Was there a "palimony" situation? Was this some sort of "partnership"? Were the payments made by B really meant to be "rent" paid to A?) Some of the "Gay Marriage Amendments" passed by the states prohibit not only same-sex marriages, but also any type of legal status approximating or analogous to marriage. The intent of the parties in this example could have been clarified if they had been allowed to marry. Then their divorce would be handled exactly like everybody else's divorce is handled. Uniformity.
