Family Values

Personally, I was bemused and a little disgusted by the McCain rambling treatise on "family values."

From "two parent families" – are a gay couple not two people? Are they lesser human beings so the sum of the couple is only one? – to the "traditional family."

Is the "traditional" family a man or woman that may be on their second or third wife or husband? Does the "traditional" family include uncaring or unloving parents, as long as they are a man and woman?

I’m dumbfounded.

Surely the criteria for any parent, gay or straight, should be a loving nurturing and caring parent, no matter what gender. I personally know awful straight parents and fantastic gay parents, there is no line drawn by gender. My children are accepting of loving gay parents to the same extent that they may dislike annoying straight parents. They don’t care about the gender because they are open minded and don’t have a ridiculous inbred bias against one or the other. 

Glad that’s off my chest (or should I say pectorals? I am a man after all).
