My Blissful Gay Marriage

I understand why people “feel” attracted to the same sex. My only caution to gay couples as well as infertile straight couples would be this: Children DESERVE to know their biological identity. Don’t think that biology doesn’t matter. It makes my skin cringe when I hear of people “ordering up” children through anonymous sperm or egg donors. Children are not going to function well with “no mommy” and two daddies, or two mommies and “no daddy.” They are not OBJECTS for your pleasure.

Love is great and all. But children deserve a mother and a father.

I see being gay as a handicap, and I feel for those who are unable to feel attracted to the opposite sex, because I think that everyone YEARNS at a deep level to be able to REPRODUCE, and know the joy of parenthood.

As someone who was adopted into a closed adoption (hetero marriage), I just want to advocate for children. Being with a non-biological relative is NOT the same as being with your biological family. There will be psychologcial damage!
