More than 13 million households in this country right now are single parent operations, usually solo Mom, but increasingly solo Dad.
Well I think the SBC is not only wrong, dangerously wrong, but bigoted and blind to the world around them.
If the “Two Parent Home” is considered the ideal, then 2 loving Moms or 2 loving Dads fit that ideal. Nothing wrong with 1 loving parent, but society seems to agree (and probably biology also agrees) that 2 parents are needed to fully surround a child or children with a complete home. On this point I think one could mount several arguments, but that is for another time.
Let me ask this: is a home with one loving parent and one abuser better that 2 loving same-sex parents? Is a home with one loving parent and one absent parent better than 2 loving same-sex parents? Is a home with 2 parents that hate each other better than 2 loving same-sex parents? Huh? Huh? Where is the SBC answer to those? Silent, that’s where.
And never mind the entire issue of pushing a single religious view on all of us until we puke.

This would never be an issue if we had the true separation of church and government.
