If you watch the whole ten minutes, you really want to root for the father and applaud him for never giving up his paternity rights.
ReplyDeleteMany times in these conversations regarding family, it is questioned can a gay person be a good parent? I really don't have a problem saying yes, but I also believe a lot of single straight people could be great parents also. It doesn't mean that individuals should intend to parent alone or with sometime else and deny that a child its mother and father.
The defining of same-sex couples with children residing the home, always requires the lost of one parent for the child and how can that be defined as just? At least if the child comes from a previous heterosexual relationship, the child still has some rights to his/her own parents and lost is acknowledged and dealt with. As children we have no rights or say, if biological mother and father work get a long and live together. We're really at the mercy of our parents to hopefully work it out with little conflict in our lives. We're solely dependent on a society and hopefully prudent government both legislative and judicial to protect and promote such interests.
